I have taken the covers off either side the belt tension is good, what do I look for 4 the timing?
Do I need to remove the power steering and aircon belts take the pully off in the middle and start over?
All help is greatly accepted.

If the crank pulley is loose it will make a horriffic knocking noise.. Some times they dont seat properly and even though the bolt is tight once the pulley rotates and seats it goes loose again and clunks about..
