Exclamation Timing belt confirmation - many photos

HI members,

Can some of you guys confirm my timing? Are all the markings (cam gears and crank gear) at the right location? along with camshaft position. I rotated clockwise 2 full revolutions and all markings back as shown in photos.

Thanks
Tony

It matches but next time you should match it at 60 degrees before top dead center. Its a bit dangerous doing it at top dead center, im speaking from experience here.

I've yet to do the timing belt on a 2j any reason why it's dangerous to do at tdc? Curious to know.

I've never had an issue with tdc. Just make sure your markings add up. Turn the motor a few times, if it's still lines up your good to go. And of course make sure the belt is properly seated.
