Timing Belt Marking Not Lining Up Please Help

Subaru timing marks not lining up. Yes but by lining the marks on the belt up with the marks on all 3 sprockets when you put the belt on you will cause the engine to be correctly timed. So im doing the timing belt and like an idiot i took the old belt off without having the timing marks on the cams and crank lined up at the top. Ever do a timing belt or chain and you go to line up the timing marks and find that theyre just a little bit off. Just go by when the hash marksnot arrows on the pulleys are excactly straight upa line drawn through the center of the pulley and the mark should be excactly vertical. How am i supposed to get them lined up to put the timing belt back on if i cant. Ignore the notches on the timing cover as well.

This video has the answer to that question. The covers distort with time and heat. Done about 5 in the last 4 months including my own motor and havent had any problems. As long as you set the timing marks on the sprockets relative to the engine block and the timing marks on the belt relative to the sprockets correctly you are fine. After you line the belt up with the timing marks on the sprockets and hand crank the motor the timing marks will not line up again. As long as the top timing marks line up exactly to the cover and the left and right marks line up with the cover the 2 marks at the bottom dont make a difference but they are always offset when we install them and i work for a subaru dealership.

Also if you ever wondered how many. 1999 subaru legacy outback ej25. Again with the crank sprocket mark lined up at 1200 with the mark on the oil pump see pics to determine which marks im talking about you cannot hit the pistons with the valves. Can i just turn them back to the top without the belt on. Especially if its an aftermarket belt.
