camshaft help

I did the timing belt job like 6 times...... outcome was always a miss cyl 3, and random misfire. I have a 1997 contour, 4 cyl. Now I can't find any articles with pictures which would show the correct position of the camshaft according to lobe direction upon install of new timing belt. I believe my timing is a few degrees off and this is the last time I wanna do this job. I have a piece of steel to put in the back of the camshafts but couldn't either cam still be a 180 degrees off? please help..... Originally this cars larger idler pulley broke apart causing it to skip time.

Re: camshaft help

The slot in the back of the cams is off set. You can only have the tool inserted with the cams in the correct position.
