Well it was not timed. I think when I was tired I only looked at the belt during install, but rather I need to make sure those cams are in the right position during install at 50 degrees.

The FSM does not say anything regarding the cam alignment during install - it even tells you to turn clockwise to put the belt mark on, then back to tighten the belt from the crank. Donoco? states that he strung his fron the LH cam then to the crank then to the RH cam - but what position do the cams need to be in? There are 2 marks on the cam - TDC indicated by a line and T - which I am wondering if this is not the install mark of 50 degrees -
Well - I need to extract a tensioner bolt prior to coninuing anyway so someone please assist a weary wrencher??? I am not putting that tensioner back on until I know the proper install - despite the FSM
