So you're saying the belt jumped a tooth while you were rotating the engine by the crankshaft bolt? Then you removed the belt and turned the engine backwards? How far, 1/4 turn? How far are the cam pulley marks from pointing at each other?

With the crank 1/4 turn btdc, you can freely move the cam pulleys into position with the timing marks adjacent to one another. Then just slowly rotate the crank to the tdc mark on the crank pulley. Do not rotate the cam pulleys with the engine at tdc. Move the rotor until it points at the #1 plug wire and install the new belt. if you moved the crank 1/2 turn or more with the belt off you probably bent a valve.

Try some Kroil on the tensioner.
