I know that DOHC heads are harder to line up the cams to TDC, especially if you don't have that tool that holds the cams in place. I had the same problem with my B16, the intake cam kept moving while I was trying to get the belt on. Takes a little patience, but just take your time and make sure that both cams are lined up.
