  1. Set crank timing gear to the dot mark (not line)
  2. Set intake cam to dot (not line. It's not stated in the Toyota manual if the cam needs to be rotated fully CW or CCW - I gather CW from research but need confirmation)
  3. Set exhaust cam to dot (not line)
  4. Install timing belt to finish

I've done the above before installing the timing belt cover and crank pulley because I want to see if the dots and lines line up. When doing this, the dots on both cams and the crank match up after rotating the crank. Also, all line marks on both cams and the crank line up. Is this right?
