[V8] TB cover and others

[John Dodd]

Hi guys
 
1.I managed to fit in the cam locks. Just not sure if they are in all
the way. Right now there is a space of about 2 mm between the plates and
the body.(where the distributor was)
   Do they go in flash or not ?
 
2. I cannot remove the TB cover passenger side.
Is it necessary to remove the alternator ?
If yes I just couldn't loosen the bolt on the back of the alternator
.Must be  30000ft-b.
 
3. I removed the valve covers since they were leaking and I looked at
the 2 dots on the cam gears that are supposed to line up.
    They are lined up (facing each other)but this line is tilted at an
angle in other words they do not line up in a horizontal position.I
assume it's OK.
 
4. After installing the cam locks , they were partially tighten, then I
moved the crank from TDC (about 5 degrees) to test if  the cam locks
were engaged 
    The sprockets  did move a little . I quickly  backed up to TDC and
the belt is now under more tension than before .Could my timing be
screwed up now ?
    Or can I rely on the 2 dots on the cam gears. They are still nicely
facing each other.
 
Any ideas ?
 
 
Thanks
