    correct tension is vital, but it doesn't mean squat regarding timing.
    what matters is the tooth count between the timing marks. to confirm
    this is correct, do both timing marks align /exactly/ for the cam and
    the crank when the belt is tensioned?
    haynes is notoriously CRAP. either get the online stuff from tegger's
    site or buy the proper workshop manual from helm.
    take it to a shop. no disrespect, but all we have to work on at this
    end is your version of events. if you live close to san francisco, i
    could look at it for you, but way things are right now, it's impossible
    to get closer to the problem without physical inspection.

    I'm positive that both camshaft and crankshaft wheels align with the
    markers. It has not jumped a tooth because the TDC marker on the
    crankshaft pulley aligns when the camshaft pulley markers align. This
    is why it's so frustrating to figure out what's wrong. I will take it
    to a shop over the weekend. I've received a quote for $45 for adjusting
    the timing. Is it reasonable? Thanks for all your help. Unfortunately I
    live in Michigan which is quite a way from San Francisco.
