An extra step that I did was to mark the old belts and gears in various places with white out. Then I took the old belt off and matched the new belt with the exact same marks. When I installed the new belt, I made sure all the white marks aligned. It really gave me peace of mind that the timing was correct. When replacing all the seals, it’s pretty easy to accidentally move a gear out of alignment.

Also, Eric put the lower cover on before installing the timing belt on the cam gear and I definitely did not have that kind of confidence. I put all the belts back on before putting the lower cover on.
