94 Camry SE engine 1MZ-FE 3.0L V6. I replaced my timing belt(95K mi) and now idles slightly rough. I was not able to line up all marks(cam & crank) exactly. With the crank at TDC the cam marks should be at 12:00, correct? It seems they are off by 1/2 tooth! I matched the old belt to the new before replacement and I'm confident it is the correct belt, but did not use chalk or white-out to mark exact position. Should I be using the alignment "hole" on the crank pulley or the timing mark? Please help. Thanks!
