I think because you have the 3mm it's putting it between the marks. If i remember correctly after I took my 2 mm hg out and put the oem one back on mine was right over the white mark. Do you remember where it was when you took the head off at Tdc? If the hash marks are aligned and your at Tdc I don't see why'd you have an issue.
Edit: stick your finder through the tct hole and press on the chain sometimes the slack in the chain will make it look a little off too if there is any. I remeber mine not lining up correctly unless there was tension on the chain

Turbokev, yours looks almost identical to mine in the pic with my crank pulley mark on the white mark. Your intake cam gear mark is just slightly lower than the exhaust cam gear mark. Look at the teeth on both cams in relation to the top of the chain. The intake cam tooth is slightly more covered by the chain than the exhaust cam gear tooth. That looks a lot like mine when I'm aligned on the white crank pulley mark. See what i mean? I think mine is correct. I'm just a worry wart. LOL
I'm still going to look tomorrow for you when I pull my valve cover.
All I know after pulling things for three times is that when its right it right and when its wrong its pretty much clearly wrong (easily evident).
I can set the cams in perfectly the first time now just eyeballing it. It just sucks to know that I've had the cams out four times in the past months.
Now set that crank pulley on the white mark and see how things look.

Could you set your idler and cam gears perfectly on the marks and take a pic of where your crank pulley mark falls? Like the last set of pics I supplied. I'd really like to see how yours compares to mine. If your crank pulley mark falls between the white and red mark, then mine must be good to go too.
Thanks for the help.

Yeah, with the crank pulley mark on the white mark, it looks more like yours. If you scroll all the way back up to my first post with pics, you can see that.
