I was reading another post about bad idle and just wanted to make sure my timing marks are lined up proper..I feel my marks are lined up, but both gears are one tooth high if that makes sence. check out the pics..

Hard to tell which one by the angle, but I can say almost 100% one of those cams is off a tooth.

Looks like you need to turn the intake cam counter clockwise 1 tooth and then turn the exhaust cam clockwise 1 tooth. Should look more like this.

It also looks like you have the wrong pan bolts in the front by the oil pump. Could be an illusion but it looks like a groove is starting in the middle of the belt.

Timing is for sure off and they for sure put the wrong bolt in the oil pan. Make the shop fix all of that. Unacceptable work for any shop to do.
