      you mean one tooth up on the intake and one tooth down on the exhaust cam. plus the crank should be one tooth right of center looking at it straight on. then clockwise tension the water pump.

      I also noticed the crank wanted to move when I tensioned the water pump. it was the only way I could "trick" it into lining up.

      On a different 2006, I removed the head and replaced the valves my nephew bent when he tried to move the marks with the key.

      I have two questions. 1) with a new gasket set do I need any gasket maker too or just replace each gasket?

      2) the valves dinged the piston tops with slight crease marks. everything else is fine just want to know if they will cause any problems if I reassemble.
