I removed everything to check the timing belt, pulleys, and tensioner, and was reading the manual for re-assembly and figured out that whoever put it together last time had installed the timing belt pulley's backwards. The manual says that the left side timing pulley (drivers side) has to be installed with the flange side outward, and the right side timing pulley (passenger side) to be installed with the flange side facing inward. Attached are the pictures of how it is now. Can someone please confirm if this is INCORRECT, and do I need to watch out for anything when swapping them?
There is a little bit of back and forth play (about .5mm) on the big pulley that's between the camshafts. The other pulley that's attached to the tensioner seems fine, and no signs of leaks from the hydraulic tensioner either. Should I replace only the big pulley, are all items mentioned?
