Hey everybody I’m currently working on my is i finished doing the cam seals, but didn’t mark the gears and while holding the wrench on the cam the cam had slightly moved upon everything back together I wanted to know what can I do in my situation, im looking for a repair manual online at the moment, I figured I would ask a forum as well

Did you roll the engine around to align the timing marks before you removed the timing belt and cam gears?

This is a solid video about timing 2Js:

Depending on what position the crankshaft is currently in, it may or may not be safe to rotate the cams.

Basically, you're gonna need to ensure crank is in safe position, rotate your cams into alignment, rotate your crank into alignment, and install the belt.

where is the crank gear dot right now?
if the cam gear only moved a little bit, and crank dot is lined up on zero mark, then you can just line up the cam dash mark (not the dot) to the timing cover dimple mark
