Timing marks wont align
 
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.ran...109e8d5658.jpgCrankshaft marks aligned
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.ran...ed07b1efdc.jpgCamshaft marks aligned
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.ran...0d09e11cb4.jpgThis is as close as the diamonds will get. One tooth counter clockwise and it puts it a tooth off.
https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.ran...205d27be4c.jpgThis is where the marks lined up as they are leaves the belt. If I pull any tighter it pulls the crank and oil pump out of spec. Thanks for any help!

Thats fine for the diamond, its the Crank and triangle(cam) that needs closest timing

After belt is tight, Rotate crank TWO full turns and double check they are still aligned

Hey man thanks for the quick response! I've got all the marks set that way but when I go to pull the belt the teeth on the belt won't rest in the notches on the cam sprocket. If I attempt to pull too hard it rotates the crankshaft and oil pump out of line.

You hold tensioner back so belt is loose, when you put belt on it should be tight from crank and up drivers side around AUX gear and then Cam gear, then release tensioner to take up the slack on passenger side of belt
