timing marks on fan belt cover V70-XC70 2006

Morning Klaus,

I managed to find the timing mark on the front [blue] camshaft gear and I marked it with red paint. From what I can see the original white marks do not conform to any marks on the gears. I am taking it that the mechanic just marked the two gears wherever they were at and used those marks to keep everything kosher.

I am thinking that if I line up the mark on the front blue gear with the gougeout above it on the plastic cover I will then mark the other gear with red paint that will be aligned beneath its gougeout. This will provide the relationship between the two gears at the pre-disassembly stage of the job. Would this be useful?

I have not been able to find a timing mark on the aft gear. I have found both gears marked with an 'M' but only the front has a clear timing mark that I have so far found. I will keep looking today.

I uploaded the picture of the cam locking tool I bought at your recommendation. Does it contain all the bells and whistles you mentioned in your last post?
