Camshaft Gear Alignment Issues

Post by Damians850 »

I am currently looking to see if my timing belt has slipped and if so how bad.

On both of my cam gears there are no markings at all indicating where they should be aligned. what should i do?

The marks are small and hard to see but they are there. Why do you think the belt slipped?
