I have a 2002 hyundai sonata GLS V6 2.7L the cams move a little bit and l set them back. how do l know for sure timing is correct before putting everything back on the engine, replaced timing belt
Not 100% certain if I'm getting right where ur coming from, but, I'll take a shot-- with tensioner set, revolve engine with socket on front pulley bolt...this will of course thrust up any slack in belt as if engine was actually running..round and round once twice, three time, and back to TDC on compression...see if cams are coming up at correct or very close to correct angles at each compression-stroke TDC. If not, trial and error with resetting your tensioner until you have judged it right and have the angles coming up three pears every comp stroke TDC..

No one cylnder needs to be on compression stroke both valves closed.Some engines have two marks up there.Otherwise mark before uou pull apart
