I typically align everything by the marks, start putting the belt on, get it hand stretched over the pulleys and hold it up to the cam pulley, tightly, then back the cam pulley up to meet a tooth in the belt. Spin the engine over two full crank turns, check that all alignment marks are where they should be.
