This exactly ^^^^
just a few teeth out of timing and valves will bend or smash through pistons (the pistons already have indents in them to allow for valves when timing is correct)

prepare for failure
camskill sells them as kits for ~$100 or so, bothering with second hand really makes no sense

dont really understand word of your post.
But when you line up all 4 cams to relief mark and have crank lined up have it set one tooth back so when you turn it, it will pick up belt at correct mark.
Then release tensioner and hand crank few more times.
NOTE: you will need to spin crank twice before cams will line up again

Tip: when changing the belt, before taking the old one off, get a white paint texta, or some liquid paper, and on each cam gear and the crank gear, mark a tooth and the belt. Then transfer these marks to the new belt. then put it all back together with these marks lining up. Foolproof! Oh and you'll need some big ass paper clips lol!!
