Ok Dave... I followed your instructions exactly and it worked like a charm! Timing belt lined up on all three marks.

When I rotated the crankshaft two revolutions everything stayed lined up!... Unfortunately after two revolutions of the crank the belt was again walked out towards the radiator about 1/4 inch on the cam pulley and 1/8 in. off the idler. The belt stayed completely on the crank pulley and intermediate shaft pulley.

I released the idler, pushed belt back on the tensioner and retensioned it

All alignment marks stayed lined up

So should I run it a short bit and see how bad it gets? Or could there be another cause for it walking?
