The inlet camshaft won't move, nor do we want it to, because the flywheel (or drive plate for automatics) pin together with the new front belt prevent it. The factory position (with flywheel/drive plate pin inserted) in practice is not when the notches are perfectly aligned at 3 and 9 o'clock. They are slightly offset (as 1955diesel said) and this is what the gentleman in the video is doing, maintaining that relationship. I'm afraid you're not Gary. The factory definitely does not slacken the inlet camshaft sprocket set screw when working upon the rear belts. Simon

You should also note that he clearly says that this (aligning the exhaust camshaft) is done with both the front tools and flywheel pin removed and without rotating the engine and without loosening the front pulley bolts! As SD1too says - this is only to align the exhaust camshaft (the keyway with the pulley) during refitting of the rear pulleys. Loosening the front pulley again would do 2 things - 1] make you need to replace the front pulley bolts... again and 2] Change the inlet timing from the setting as set by the expensive tools! It has already been stated here on the forum that the rear pulleys don't line up exactly and that this was known about.

There's a third problem with loosening the front sprocket set screws. It will upset the belt tension on the LH side of the engine necessitating re-lacing the front belt and setting up the tensioner pulley again. It just makes no sense. Quote:
