camshaft sprocket timing.....

[mike p.]

ok, so how do you know if the timing is off? say hypothetically, one
of the sprockets may have slipped a few degrees ahead while putting
the timing belt on. would the engine sound noticeably different? i
ask because i just replaced my belt and the crankshaft sprocket seal
and while i was putting the belt on i think the left(facing the car)
cam sprocket jumped a little ahead.

And as an additional question: Why do later models of the EJ20 engine use
different cam sprocket timing marks than earlier models? Later models of
this engine use the arrow cast into one of the sprocket spokes instead of
the hash marks stamped on the rim of the sprocket for lining up the cam
belt. I discovered this the hard way, i.e., Chilton's model neglected to
mention this essential difference.
