jus purchased the same parts from a wholesaler down here but i was told u should also change the camshaft seals and idler pulleys....
if u dont change them and they go bad you gotta take everything off again and u should change the valve cover gasket too , thats jus what i was told....

Don't get it wrong so quadruple check your marks, also the t-belt is marked. Also I would change the crank seal while you have the front covers off, be really careful to not scratch the crank AT ALL or it will leak forever and the only way to repair is to replace the scratched crank. Those seals are somewhat difficult to get off so be super careful. I personally think if you don't know what your doing don't do this but good luck....

I am confused by the timing marks. In the picture it shows the belt lining up with the T on both the right and left side does this mean that the crank is not lined up? I think this needs some further discussion as it is confusing? I would think that in this case if you used the "I" then the crank would not line up right or if you used the "T" and you where supposed to use the I then the crank would not line up. Can someone take and post pictures of what it is supposed to look like?

The timing wasn't correct. Put your crank pulley mark on 0. When working on VTT-i engines, Just a tad will cause the valves to bend.

Take a look at the crank pulley mark. It's right on 0 degree.
This is how you time the crank and cam timing. If any folks decided to be creative with the timing and do it some other way. Be my guest!!!!!!!
