Timing belt off by half a tooth

[itsmenick]

So for some reason no matter how I put the timing belt on, the top left cam is Always off by half a tooth. Brand new belt by the way

[FlawleZ]

Off from the marks on the belt or off where the cam gear aligns with the rear timing cover?

[i r teh noobz]

Timing belt marks are almost never 100% dead on. The belt flexes, the rotating parts have slop. Half a tooth is likely in spec, espr if you've set it more than once.
