So from that picture does it look like the timing was set incorrectly?

So from that picture does it look like the timing was set incorrectly?
The front (pictured) looks good. there are arrows on the valve cover they should line up with. Make sure to check the rear as well as the crank as mentioned. The crank mark is on the right side at about 1 o-clock as you are looking at it. Need to remove the wheel, and plastic sheild.
He is incorrect, there are timing marks on the back side of the cams as well that match a square like mark.
Here is a pic of the marks on the valve cover, and the dots lining up.

Bill the pic isn't showing.
hmmm, tapatalk servers must be crapping. Sec...
What about the two lower marks not lining up in the pic I posted?
Those marks are inconsequential. Just worry about the dots aligning with the arrows on the valve covers just like in the picture Bill posted.
Fixed
Below is the crank timing marks. It is hard to see but the gear has a dot on it as well. It is a little off, but acceptable. If any more than pictured you have a problem.

Ok thanks for the replies. Time to check the rear and the crank.
Hopefully I can get the car sorted out she's a nice one!
