take off the belt
line up the crank at TDC- there will be a marking on the crank to line up with an arrow on the oil pump casting(the key way should be facing straight up as well)
line up the cam at TDC(cylinder one in firing position-just after compression stroke-watch the valves and you have it)
slide on the belt
rotate about 3/4 a turn CCW and tighten the belt tensioner pulley
rotate another 3-4 turns and make sure the TDC marks line up at the same time
fire it up, set ignition timingt, and you're good

the cam's at TDC when the gear says "UP" and is up, the horizontal lines are parallel to the top of the head, and the last mark is lined up with the ciming belt cover
