Default How can I get my cam timing top dead center?
I messed up the cam timing when trying to put my belt back on so what is the best and easiest way to get the cam and crank timing top dead center so my timing isn't jacked anymore

You can't. Once it's off then it's off. You're pretty much screwed...

Set cam timing to TDC, remove the belt and set the crank to TDC, put belt back on. Rotate several times and check the timing again to make sure you aren't 1 tooth off.
