Alright, i have my motor all put back together and everything is fine, except for the timing belt. I have taken this off at least 4 to 5 times and when i finaly think everything is right and all the timing marks are lined up, i put everything back together and the belt is loose on the cams. If anyone could come to morton and fix this problem tomorrow i would love the help and guidence. Thanx,Chris.(eclipgst)

Yes thats good but i think it is just that i dont properly know how to set up all the timing marks and tighten the belt. I lack the knowledge. So i was really hoping someone could come to morton tomorrow and show me how to do it so that i know the proper way next time. I have the special tools to do the timing belt tensioning but i just dont know how to do it right.

How loose on the cam gears is it...can you slide it off? Or are you talking about some deflection in the belt (which it's supposed to have)? There will be different levels of deflection depending on where in the stroke the engine is. Have you cranked the engine around by hand once the t-belt is on? you can use a 1/2" breaker bar or ratchet to do that. check the amount of belt deflection at different points in the cycle.
