[Corsa B 1993-2000] x14xe timing belt

[Williamcorsa]

Hi guys i'm rebuilding my engine and i'm about to change my timing belt. Slightly confused by the timing marks on the camshaft sprockets. Do i line them up with each other or do i line each sprocket up with the edge of the cylinder head?

Hope this helps

Thanks for that mate but it doesn't solve my issue lol Where is that from mate? In my haynes manual it says i line the sprockets up with each other like the above diagram then it says they must line up with the top on the cylinder head lol.

you line them up with each other (as in the diagram) - and this should make them parallel to the top edge of the cylinder head.
