    Montero timing belt question

    By vbrad511,
    Hey all, I'm working on my girl;s 02 Montero, 3.5. I broke into it yesterday and got her torn down and I'm working on reassembly, but I can't quite get the belt to line up correctly. I'm straight up TDC on the mark on the crank, but I'm split a tooth on each cam gear. I've rotated the motor probably 12 times and it always falls right back to where it sits now. Am I better to have the cam trailing the crank or leading it, or am I missing something somewhere? She does do a bit of highway driving,

    Spotted a red 88 Starion with SHP wheels in the Parkway Plaza Winston Salem yesterday evening. Who you be? Took off running before I got out of the Chinese buffet to holler at you! Colin
