The cam pulleys turn 3 or more turns to one of the camshaft. You need to find someone that is experienced on this vehicle. Just aligning marks does not mean its in sync.

Then the cam were on the wrong stroke. The lines may have been on their marks but the wrong stroke. Without the belt on turn each came gear clockwise until it springs into the position where the mark on the cam is right on the marks on the head cover. The passenger side will be set, the drivers side will need another 1/4 turn clockwise. There should be marks (raised circles) on the timing cover back plate at those two spots, those will be the timing marks. You will notice the cams dont spring into those positions on every turn, that means they are not on the right stroke to set time.

On a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo 3.2 V6 DOHC If you put all timing marks together on engine and then put timing belt mark all together on the engine and rotate two rounds with crankshaft does all the marks come

Just the engine. The marks on the belt are to make sure the teeth are in the right place when replacing. It might come back in place on 4 turns of the crankshaft. I have never checked to see if the belt marks came back. But always check the timing marks themselves.

Hope this helps.

1995 2.3L 4W ISUZU RODEO HOW DO YOU GET IT BACK IN TIME

Remove timing belt cover and the timing belt. Line up the cam gear timing mark with the mark that is behind it. Then, set the crankshaft pulley timing mark to zero degrees or whatever the book says. Then re-install the timing belt and re-torque the timing belt tensioner to the proper torque. Turn the engine one full turn, with a breaker bar and socket. Re-check the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft. Re-install the timing belt cover and everything else you took off to get to the belt. Be sure to torque the crankshaft pulley bolt to specs.

Water pump and timing belt replacement

confirm you timing belt marking at the engine before you start the work. then dismantle all the belt one by one until you reach the timing cover. mark the timing mark again. then start dismantle the timing belt set. after all the belt are out, open the water pump and start to put back the new part by using reverse order from the opening list. make sure the timing marking are the same as you check at the first time. before you start the engine, make sure you turn the engine 2 or 3 round and make sure no part are hitting. good luck.
