    Cam marks only line up every 2 crank rotations, turn the crank one revolution and they should line up.

    Then your harmonic balancer has slipped on the hub, take it off and use the timing marks on the gear and oil pump.

    Won’t solve but maybe helps you….

    align belt 1st at top and the move your way down
    The lowest pulley (#1 pulley per diagram/just above crank sprocket to the left) would be the last pulley to install after all T marks are lined up
    Once T marks good, pull pin
    Then rotate crank bolt so cams sprockets make 2 full revolutions
    If Off, start over

    I always had tough time with cam sprockets….right on edge of moving (bc of valve spring tension)
    I.E. I’m looking at one T mark and the other T mark moves while I’m concentrating on the one I’m fixated on.
