Just changed cambelt, 1st cyl Tdc, all cam markers in right place and also crank marker, belt was put on with white lines all matching. 

Question is when I rotate engine white marks on belt never come back as started!!

Do they ever re line up?

Every time I rotate, all camshaft and sprocket marks are ok.

Has anybody any idea on this!

 

Did you fit new tensioners ?

I can't remember the exact number of crank turns (~12) but all the marks will eventually come back together.

Used existing tensioner , seemed to be working ok put bolt in it closed ok , opened up after couple of turns. It was about 3mm . I know it should be 4mm . But nothing jumped on sprockets.

 

Update , i turned engine 12 times and noted results, 

After 4 turns I was 180 degrees out  counting 24 cogs

After 6 turns  18 cogs out 

After 8 turns 12 cogs out

After10 turns  6 cogs out

Then on 12 turns 0 cogs out     back to beginning

So I am feeling safe to run engine now. Phew.

Big Thanks to those that replied.
