Default 97 3.5L won't hold timing.

installed the timing belt kit, reset everything to TDC and it started right up. after running for about an hour, i shut it off. around 15 minutes later I heard a short growling noise. i rechecked everything and discovered that the drivers side cam had spun inside the timing belt. I checked the tensioner,everything was good to go.
I reset the timing and got everything to TDC a second time, same result. starts right up runs a awhile and then the cam jumps timing.
