Need help with timing belt install...Help...Help!
Does anyone have a good how-to install a timing belt guide/article/video?
I already took out the radiator and fans, took off the old belt, had the new belt on, but wasn't confident the marks were lined up "perfectly" and now I feel like I don't know what the **ck I am doing.
If someone can help a brotha out with this, I would be so grateful!
And if that person is in the Newark/Fremont area, and could stop by to help out, I could supply beer and some coin!
With all the other stuff off and out of the way, it will probably take someone who knows what they are doing about 30 minutes to help get this timing belt on the right way, right?

This article is all you'll need. Pay particular attention to the part about the tensioner. http://endwrench.com/images/pdfs/StepEWAug07.pdf

I already put all the pulleys and the tensioner on yesterday (March 20)....I will re-install the radiator and fluids, then start it up and see ^fingers crossed^ what happens....
Thank you, though, for the link, it really does give me a better idea of what to do and look for....I wasn't able to find that through any searches on forums or through a web index/search engine query.....Great Information!
