Which marks are perfect? The one that matters after you rotate twice is the marks on the two camshaft sprockets pointing inwards at each other and the crankshaft pulley mark that points down @ dead centre. The marks on your belt will no longer line up with those marks when you do the rotation twice.

Ok that's what I meant...so that's good....whats the deal with the tensioner, its got to be the worst engineering I seen in a while, it doesn't even work....thanks for the reply man. Yall are giving me the encouragement to go start her up.

Do you have the water pump bolts loosened when you are tensioning the belt? If you've snugged the bolts to the waterpump the tensioner will not work. They need to be loosened a bit.

That's the link I used, the bolts were loose.
