Ok just got finished installing my timing belt according to carefully followed directions. I will also note that I pulled the oil pump to replace the seals. Heres where it got tricky

There were three red dots on one cam sprocket and two on another in addition to the scribed factory marks... now there were also a random scribed mark.

Followind directions I aligned it to all the factory marks. I did not really disturb the crank and didn't the top end except to tweak it a couple teeth that it was off after the first attempt. I then more than triple checked everything. Now to make sure it is all good I give it a crank over THERE GO THE VALVES!!!!!!!!!!! Aparently one of the many red dots near the factory marks were from a half ass independant that didn't want to reset the cam sprockets right after doing the seals making his own marks??????????????? I now wish I had had a dealer do it.. they'd have had to comp me a hard... now I'm stuck with a bill I CAN'T afford!!!!!!

I'm in the ATL area and need to try and get this done right away... i need cost and advice on who to contact... can't wait for shipping.

I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!!!!!! And it's sunday afternoon to boot!
