So everything is definitely correctly aligned, so all good. I take pictures of both horizontal and vertical cylinders (to help later if required) and fit the camshaft holding tool i have to the vertical cylinder.

Off with the timing belts and definitely nothing moves.

Packing up for the evening and for some reason i look in the window on the LHS and the timing marks are no longer aligned.

I definitely had everything aligned spot on and didn't move anything so my question is - What's happened??

If the marker in the Window has moved then so will have the marker on the lower pulley that aligns with the marker on the crankcase
I never take much notice of the mark in the window when fitting the felts on to the pulleys providing all the pulley markings line up
