Line that **** back up.

 

Basically you will need to do the service as if you were replacing the timing belt. Rip off everything on the side of the motor. Then loosen the belt line it back up. Rotate it around a couple times making sure your timing marks line up.

I am guessing it happened when trying to break the cam gear bolt free?

Or i guess you could move it back since you have the timing belt loose. Then just make sure the cranks and cam gears all line up with the timing marks. But there may be the chance that something is not right near the water pump or idler pulley if you have ti that loose

The way the belt stretches, stuff doesn't always perfectly line up, but if you really hosed the install then the only real way to fix it is to do the equivalent of a timing belt R&R..

It seems alot harder than it is because there's alot of disassembly, but its not that bad if you take your time (don't rush through it) once you have the bottom cover off, you can realign all the timing marks (Try to find a good document that CLEARLY shows where all the timing marks are, the first time I did it I had a hell of a time finding them) Then line them up and put the belt back on.. After doing it I realized that its a long install, but alot easier than it seems.

Once you have slack in your timing belt, its just way too easy to slip a tooth if you are doing the install alone.. Don't feel too bad it happens all the time.. I even broke the tensioner tool on my own car so it happens to everyone.
