So would the only way to rectify the problem be to re-fit the timing belt? It's effectivly done 0 miles and only ran at idle and fast idle. Surely the belt has been fitted too loosely for this to happen?

So if it runs ok then there isn't a problem, like I said, last time I ran it it was fine... I'll get it checked by somone who knows a bit more than me before I start taking bis apart... But it does look out which is confusing

Basically, where I have painted in some red bits there are grooves in the pullys - these need to align to the grooves in the rocker cover when the engine is at TDC.

There are 4 red dots though, what are the other two supposed to line up to? If you turned it back, would the two at the top meet in the middle and the two on the outside line up with the cover? Never seen a XE belt so im just guessing?

The outer red dots were to remind me which pully was for which cam (they are painted on so that they point to the outside of the engine) so I didn't put the cams on backwards.
