Be sure to put some grease on the cam gear plunger, and I also grease the gears so they don't start off dry.

Here is the thing about one tooth off, as the timing gear is not cut straight across you cannot line up the marks and push the gear on so they line up. You have to set the gear so it looks a tooth or two off counterclockwise (I can't remember right now) and as the teeth mesh the cam gear will turn clockwise lining up the marks.
Even if you have no idea what I just wrote when you are done the marks must line up like in Tom's picture.
