2003 Montero Limited 3.8L 24-valve motor. Synopsis of problem is it appears my timing belt is off by one tooth on the Driver Side cam, so I have to remove and resinstall it properly and also torque the adjustable tensioner pulley correctly.

But anyways, I got the crank pulley back on/torqued and when I manually turned it over 4-5 times to check timing it was off. The Lower timing (on crank pulley) and Left Side cam timing marks are in sync, but it's obvious the Driver Side Cam timing pulley is one tooth off.

1. What is the proper procedure to remedy this? Is it remove belt completely, turn the Driver Side cam pulley one tooth in right direction, and then start rehanging the belt keeping it all in check? Is it the same pulley/idler install procedures (and pulley/idler order) as the 3.5L motor?

2. What or where can I find the Tensioner Pulley setting procedures regarding the little 2-pronged tool I bought? I'm not sure if it's exact same procedures as 2002 3.5L model directions. The 2002 3.5L procedures say to torque Tensioner Pulley clockwise to 39 in-lb and then tighten the Tensioner Pulley Center Bolt to 35 ft-lb.

Thanks for assist! Any guidance appreciated. I'm stuck.
