actually they look good to me. I can say that timing on my sons 09 sohc forester was much easier to time than a few others ive worked on in the past. my svt focus, 94 civic and a 97 v6 4runner were much more of a pain to deal with. I just lined it all up (subaru factory parts by the way) and spun it over a few times just to confirm (with a ratchet).
