[V8] Headlight Misalignment after Timing Belt

[Ron Wainwright]

U know it all so depends on how u bolt the front back on. I usually mark all mounting points with a marker to get the washers/bolts/nuts back to close to there original positioning.
 I would check the rad bracket bolts (4) there is some "in and out" swing to were those bolts would b....know what I mean?
 I would loosen those and the two phillips screws that bolt to the fenders and swivel the whole front back a bit toward the motor...know what I mean?

That's the thing, I didn't remove the headlights.  I followed Ron's pics(thanks for that), and was amazed how easy it was and seemed to go flawlessly.  Even that 3rd hidden nut that I've heard about all these years was a piece of cake, but then again, there's no rust.  I even took pics of where all those bolts were to maybe add to the Knowlegebase TB article.  I had to pull that whole thing a second time because the radiator fan was still laying on the floor after assembly, and it was so easy, that I couldn't believe that I've never removed that before to get at stuff.  The corner lights are also pointing down at a slight angle, so I'm pretty sure something's amiss.  I checked the 2 bolts under the caps that hold the light to the brackets, and they look like they haven't moved.  It's another beautiful day today, and I'll mess with it tonight after work, but just wanted to know if anyone's had a similar experience....Thanks for all the replies
