@chansonbird you buy another Honda. The valves are bent now, guaranteed. Unless you got lucky.

@chansonbird Now your fucked! lol, your lucky the valves didn't hit the pistons when the belt snapped. You will have to take it into the mechanics to get it back to proper timing. You can do it yourself tho, but ya have to know what ya doing.

Is the VG30 in this Pathfinder?

@DanielJaegerFilms lol that's called timing adjustment, daniel.
you should know that, you're a self-proclaimed mechanic, aren't you??

@e3068 There are bolts which hold the covers on, they must be installed in the same location from where they were removed because they are different lengths of threading. Check out my video and you'll see what I'm talking about.

How many miles were on the belt which was replaced? Was the engine damaged at all? I just did one on a pickup and the timing marks don't line up exactly. In my case the right camshaft (from front) was off about a half tooth. It was like that with the original belt still on, and the engine runs just fine with the new belt being off about a half tooth.
Engine is the VG30E. I had same issue with timing marks not lining up on camshafts. The mark on the right camshaft, viewed from the front, was off by approximatly half a tooth. The engine did sustain valve damage. It's now a project vehicle that I work on when I have the time.
The belt tension is correct if you can twist the top section of the belt between the camshaft 90 degrees (1/4 turn) with your fingers - tip I learned from Pathfinder forum.
