Why do u have to pull the cam gears on a svtwhen changing the timing belt? Is that what might be causing my one tooth off no matter what? Also what size E socket is the VCT intake cam bolt?

I forget what size the e socket is. The reason for loosening them is so that when you set the belt tension it doesn't pull the cams out of alignment. It's the same procedure on all zetec's.

Wouldn't the cam bar hold them in place though?

My opinion is DO NOT take the gears loose
