Okay so we got the cams orientated correctly, and have the timing belt on and tensioned correctly, no matter what we do though the cams always seem like they're off, according to this post http://www.*********.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85605 its as good as it gets.
This is after the motor has been rotated twice.

How come I cant see the adjustment notches pointed up like the intake cam? Take s straight edge across all 4 notches, all 4 need to be level across the cam gears. It still looks a little off to me, but you never know. And your right it wont look 100% but it should be damn close.

Are you referring to the 4 notches (2 on each side of the gears) and line those up to where they are straight across? Yah its definitely close, just not enough to be satisfying.
I forgot to mention that the head has been milled too, and i forgot that plays a difference in alignment and trimming.
Yes all 4 notches go straight across. It needs to be so close that you cant make it any closer. I did one just a few weeks ago and it took me 6 times until I got it on, and I still wasn't 100% if it was on. Yes head decking will affect how they sit a little. Just grab straight edge and makes sure the 2 outside ones line up, one middle one to line up, and the other within 1/16 of an inch. The timing procedure for it will help, they want the crank 1/2 tooth off while setting the belt up, so when its tightened it pulls everything into time. Rotate the motor by hand to seat the belt, and recheck the timing.
In the last photo with the closeup it looks like the timing is not right.
