Engine Mechanical problem1996 Toyota Camry 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 160K milesIn my haste, I forgot to mark the position on the original timing belt when I removed the water pump. If that wasnt bad enough. The crank and cam were not positioned to any timing marks prior to removal. I do want to be clear though, The cam and crank have not been moved at all since the removal of the belt and the timing was fine when I took it off. So How do I go about putting a new belt back on this? I can post pics if needed. This is the single overhead cam type with two guide rollers, one being spring tension type.
I decided to post my own step by step instructions for anyone wanting to change your timing belt only. These instructions are very detailed. The car in the pictures is a 2000 4 cylinder camry.

Need my car back. Wife is agitated. Edit!I just received a response after I paid but it seems like its not clear. If I put a new belt on, how do I know if I'm not skipping a tooth? In order for me to turn the engine to TDC, I need the belt ON in order for both the crank and cam to move simultaneously. My thought is to at least put it on to the best of my ability now, then manually turn the crank until some marks are lining up.
Then fine tune from there. If possible, I dont want to open the valve cover and distributor, is this ok? The car is way overdue for a timing belt change, it didnt break, I said in the original post that I was changing the water pump in doing so, removed the timing belt without marking it.
Fusing a daring range of styles including funk, soul, and John Coltrane-inspired free jazz, Earth, Wind & Fire’s sophomore effort is fearlessly experimental. On the nearly 10-minute opener, “Energy,” a groove-oriented funk arrangement opens up into a freeform, kaleidoscopic jam. Download free earth wind and fire the need of love zip.
So It was just a matter of putting the new one I bought back on. This is my first time ever using the forum. I didnt see a way to respond to you. I'm sorry if I offended and I'm sure you are completely old hat with this stuff. That is the reason for all the explaining of my situation. I've had my car up on blocks in my garage for 5 days, got 2 kids and going into forclosure, school is starting and I have no where near the money needed for labor at a local shop.
Your help is indeed appreciated kind sir! So if I understand correctly, this is a non interference engine and even if it is off a bit I should be able to adjust with no real damage to the engine?
I'll just try to put the new belt on tonight and tension the thing and see what happens. Thanks for your time and patience.

2004 Toyota Camry Timing Marks
I have heard some horror stories about the timing belt tearing up the engine when it goes. I haven't begun to tear into it yet, but what are the chances I'll only have to change the belt and water pump? Should I go ahead and start keeping an eye out for a used engine? The mileage is around 145k, it's my girlfriends car & apparently both parts are still the original that came with the car. I've never had to change a timing belt so I plan to get the Haynes, but is this something I'll be able to complete in a weekend? Any info is appreciated! Just trying to get an idea of how deep I'm going to be in.
