Quick cam sprocket alignment question
I had to remove my cam gears to get to the front thermostat housing, but forgot to mark the orientation of the dowels in relation to the cam gears. I don't think my cams have rotated more than a few degrees, but I'd just like to be 100% sure.
I should be able to just reassemble like this photo and be aligned, right? Dowels at 12 o'clock, and I/E at TDC on both sides?

Looks correct. Just be sure the crank TDC marking is dead-nuts, it's pretty easy to be one tooth off down there once you get the belt tensioned. Here's mine:

So I think I may have got a bad belt, it doesn't seem to want to run loose enough to not whine like a supercharger. I've verified it's just the TB by removing everything that could possibly make the noise, but it still whines.
I've done the 1 5/6 turns to the tension mark, I've tried miatamecca's youtube video of turning the intake cam to put the slack on the tensioner side. I've even tried prying the idler looser without the spring and whine, whine, whine...
Grrr....
