So i have a very bad water leak at the number 2 idler pulley. I am tearing in to it and i see my cams like this. I think the factory marks on the plate behind the cams are above the bolt holes. It doesnt exactly line up on either one. The engine runs smooth but gets poor gas mileage. Is this of any concern?

Note: I PUT THE MARKS ON THE TIMING BELT

Yup, I agree with reggie. Looks like you're off a tooth. Just lign it up with the indentions on the timing backing plate (or whatever that is called).

I'd agree that your belt is off by 1-2 teeth which could definately cause poor performance and bad gas mileage.
