Default Car jumped timing

welll my car jumped timing and im not sure what to do... one of my friends said i have to take off the head and get the valves and everything matched up to the cam gear... then make sure the piston closer to the cam gear is all the way up and then put the timing belt back on.... is this right or im i missing something?

You need to retime the engine, and use a torque wrench when adjusting the tensioner. Pick up a cheap repair manual for the car from Checkers, Pep Boys, etc., to get the procedure.
