Can't get my timing belt on Please Help 700

B230? Did you compress the spring? Leverage a large screwdriver against the water pump, compress the spring and lock it compressed with a nail.

Assuming you did this, slide the timing belt on two pulleys by no more than 1/4 inch to get it started then slide it on the third gear. It is a tight fit and the teeth on the pulleys have to be aligned. I start with the aux and the crank then finish with the cam pulley.
