Hay Jrider popped the cover seen tds mark.The belt looks good.I looked at the marking on the pully and it's at 6Oclock with engine  off.When i start and turn it off the marking stopped at 4Oclock.
Do they must line up when i turn engine off yes or no.
Thanks

no it will stop wherever it wants to
what you need to look at is the cam gear at 12 and the crank gear at 12
the crank will make two full turns for every one full turn of the cam
there is a mark on the pullys that will line up with a mark
the cam gear lines up with a little grove in the back cover the crank pully has a small notch in it that will line up with an arrow on the lower cover
you can also ckeck it on the flywheel but it is easyer to look at the pully

Well I went to the doctor he changed the o2 sensor bank1 and also the cam sensor. Doctor also said timing looks ok. Doctor also took my money and said come again and i smiled and said i will come back.So i drove my bug home it ran so smooth without a hickup parked it in driveway thinking how the operation was a success.I went inside after 20min came back out jumped in started my bug and guess what happen the little engine orange light smiled at me. scanned again and the same codes i had before.Need help Jrailer and thanks for your time.
