funny noises after some timing belt work...

[abatzis2@hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

well...first thing is to get all the timing marks straight-your problem 
still could be a skipped tooth on the timing belt.  i assume this is 8v.  
take the timing belt off, align everything per bentley, and retime (what 
belts need to be taken off to replace an idle screw btw?). is the whirring 
noise coming from the belts, or somewhere else?
