Aux shaft timing?
I've got the timing belt on and everything lines up but the aux shaft looks a little off to me. I know it should be lined up with the tensioner bolt at 1 oclock, mine looks a little pass the bolt, like towards the the end of the washer. Turned the engine over by hand 3-5 times, it spins freely and the marks line up. What you guys think?

Re: Aux shaft timing?
As long as it's in that general direct (I was also told to line it up with the two bolts) and it turns freely by hand, she's all right.

Re: Aux shaft timing?
The thing to keep in mind is that the aux shaft doesn't really do anything critical the the engine's running, well, as far as timing is concerned anyway. The only reason you you "time" it is so that it is pointing away from the crankshaft counterweight when it goes by.
If it hits things could and probably will get ugly real quick.
