I got it. Thank you very much for your help again. It seems that non vvti is not an interfierence engine for anyone still with questions. It started and drove fine with this much timing off, just was shaking a bit. For anyone reading this post always use original parts including fan pulley...

So the belt kit is fake 100 percent and the belt jumped about 6-7 teeth at the crank. I'll be buying original belt kit at the end of the month. Cam marks didn't jump. Do I just align cams and then remove the belt and move the crank to proper timing?

I can't do the link because eBay app won't let me. I saw a number of this type of kits on eBay. Ill take this to Toyota dealer tomorrow to verify, just to be 100 percent sure.

That was eBay some 6 month ago. I went back to check for it and eBay says "buy similar" but won't take me to seller. I found exact same kit minutes later with the same timing belt sticker and hardware because I was looking for it. I'll give a link in a few minutes.

Interesting. No identifiers on anything but the tensioner with ntn 20 on it. Other than that no timing marks on timing belt and serpantine belt is 100 percent Chinese. I know I got taken advantage of now. All the videos comparing original to fake confirm it.

I won't make the same mistake again. Can't believe I fell for it knowing it all along.

How do I tell if it's original?

I already bought fake Chinese kit for it. Unfortunately. I don't have the money to buy original at this point. I got fooled into fake Toyota parts but at least I know my timing is way off at the crank and won't fall into fake parts again.

Thank you sir. That was my understanding also. I have no idea how I made it up to this point for 50k miles or what happened. I will report back when those marks are alined after the start.

My 100 lx started acting weird on start ups after serpantine belt snaped. I went to change the timing belt following the videos available but found that non of the markings make any sense. I'll post some of the pictures for some help. I'm at a loss here. If anybody has any advise I will greatly...
