Timing belt
I finished changing a cylinder head gasket and I put everything back together, but my only problem is the timing belt. I marked where its supposed to go but the force is really strong and I can't get it to slide back on. Any ideas?

Loosen tensioner, move pulleys as needed (dont bend valves) start the timimg belt install from scratch

Not sure what's your problem with the tb, but what I did was I push the tensioner arm and than lock the tensioner by tightening the bolt. I then install the timing belt and I loose the bolt and let the tensioner spring do his job. For my case, My tensioner spring was too weak and I have to push the tensioner arm to give the rear side of the timing belt the appropriate tension.
