timing?

Why not just set the timing properly? You'd have to remove the belt to install a cam gear anyway, why not just reset it?
If you're unsure if it's even off, just remove the timing cover and turn the motor to TDC and see if the marks line up on the gear and the rear cover(I think in the DOHC case there are two marks on the cam gears that will line up). I'm sure you know this if you went through doing the job already.

yes, I just did a timing belt on my car and it ended up a tooth of on the exhaust. but, it seems as if your saying that you have a SOHC anyways the directions that came with mine were to
Put the crank one half tooth before TDC
align the cam gear
place the belt on the Crank, then the water pump, cam gear, and the idler. place 23ft lbs of pressure on the idler pulley and replace the tensoner. if done correctly the allen wrench will come out easly.
