Is this right... number one piston is at tdc:





The marks shown do all line up, its just perspective making them look out, reason i ask is because thats how it was before i changed the belt, and the timing mark on the lower twin v pulley is miles away when the cams are set

That's right, cam pulley pointing up and the crnak pully a the bottom. A costly mistake if you get it wrong. Just check the bottom pulley is in ok, as it can slip round a bit sometimes, just drop a long screwdriver down No.1 to check it's at dead top,

(looks like the bottom one is 1 tooth out, will defo run flat if you make that mistake, but maybe perpective on camera as said)

Shoudl have a sharp pointy pin at about 1-2O'clock on the outer casing, should line to to that, although over time the rubber fails and lets the bits slip
