Im not sure this is going to help you in your dillema but there is a much easier way to change the timing belt than what is perscribed on this site. I used white out to mark a line that started on the cam sprocket and continued on to the old belt itself. Draw a line on both the intake and exhaust cams and the bottom of the crank sprocket. Also mark the direction of rotation on the belt with a simple arrow. The the new marks clearly visible on both the old belt and all three sprockets, remove the old belt. Count the number of teeth between the marks on the old belt and trasfer it to the new belt. Then its a simple matter of installing the new belt and aligning it up with the marks on the sprockets. This takes all the guess work and potential pitfalls out of chaging the timing belt. I will outline this procedure along with photos in a web page. Just my 2 cents.
