The Ecotec engine engine is quite sensitive to timing belt adjustment.
If you insist on doing the job yourself, make certain that you use the proper tool.
The Ecotec timing belt tool holds the crankshaft and all 4 camshafts into position while the mechanic replaces the timing belt.
The tool and timing belt costs almost the same as having your local dealer replace the belt for you, and if THEY mess up the job, they'll have to replace the belt for you.
Hint!
Replace the serpentine belt, water pump and possibly the idler pulley while you have that part of the engine opened up.
You'll need to remove the covers, pull the serpentine belt, and it will be a lot easier if you pull the passenger side tire and fender cover.
