IT SOUNDS TO ME AS THOUGH YOU MAY WANT TO CONSULT A TECH. IF YOU DON'T GET THE BELT BACK ON PROPERLY YOU COULD RUIN THE MOTOR. YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS AT TOP DEAD CENTER ON A COMPRESSION STROKE, THEN MAKE SURE THAT THE CAM GEAR MARKS ARE LINED UP WITH THE CRANK PULLY. THE CAM GEARS HAVE TWO SETS OF MARKS ON THEM. THEN PULL THE RUBBER PLUG OUT AND INSPECT THE MARK ON THE FLYWHEEL.
GOOD LUCK!!! BY THE WAY, TIMING BELTS SHOULD BE REPLACED EVERY 80-90,00 MILES, AND THINGS LIKE THAT WON'T HAPPEN.
