I got a chance to start tearing into it today. I found the marks on the cam sprockets and was able to line them up with two notches on the inner lip of the plastic timing cam cover that bolts to the top of the engine. They basically line straight up (in relation to the engine's slight rearward tip). Assuming this is correct, I rotated the engine several times watching the cam marks. I used a screwdriver to determine piston #1 TDC. Every time the cam marks came to the top the screwdriver indicated the piston to be near bottom. My next question is where are the crank pulley marks and what are they supposed to line up with on the engine. My 850 manual isn't much help here so thanks for all the help!

I ordered the OEM belt kit from IPD which includes the manual tensioner & idler pulley for my engine. I also paid for the three day shipping which meant it should have arrived today despite the holiday yesterday. Guess what, it didn't! :(
