I checked through the DIY, but they don't make references on where the timing marks are. If I turn the dot on the cam gear up until it lines up with the arrow on the valve cover, the timing mark on the bottom pulley does not line up with anything at all. It points straight down. This does not seem right to me... But not knowing where the timing mark on the engine is that lines up with the bottom pulley.
Anyone have any ideas?

Also, which cylinder is marked as #1? Is it the first one in the front of the engine, or is it a different one?

Thanks in advance!

Nope... the timing belt is still on there. I won't pull anything until I know for sure that everything is where it needs to be. I looked through the 20v.org writeup, but they didn't specify where the timing marks were... only that they existed. The one on the valve cover is rather obvious... its the one below that is throwing me off at the moment.
I pulled all of the plugs, and I ran something down in to confirm TDC on the first cylinder, which is what I was assuming was #1. It matches with the valve cover and cam marks, but the lower wheel was facing straight down.
Yes, it is a 20V. Sorry, I might have been better off having specified that earlier.
Scotty, is the mark on the engine, by chance, the piece to the passenger side with a long line running front to rear... set in (indented)? That is what I had originally assumed was the right mark, so I lined it up with the notch in the pulley, and at that point, the cam gear was about 1/4 out. If it turned, that would explain the difficulty. The only other thing is just that I am not looking at the right mark on the engine itself.

Does this apply to the 20V as well? It is a 10V in all of the pictures. This is an outstanding writeup, and answers every single question I have, assuming it's the same.

so does that mean you dont want me to post a pic of the timing marks???

Actually, I would appreciate that very much if you have the time.

hmm. I am missing that bump. I'll post pics of what mine looks like when the sun comes up so I have a bit more light to work with.
This could get interesting in a hurry. (And not in a good way).
