this is exactly what I did taking advice from my uncle (the mechanic). Everything looked lined up to me but maybe not.

The timing belt feels plenty tight on the tensioner side but really loose on the other side.

I think I will probably go back and just set the crank pulley at TDC and use a straight tool to alighn the cams...I would've did this in the very beginning if I could turn the stupid crank pulley.
