You just don't want the belt to come off the crank pulley,  the water

not sure i understand.  why does the belt position matter?  i thought
it's the position of the camshaft relative to the position of the
crankshaft
that matters.  seems to me that you could take the belt off and not
worry
about the belt moving, as long as the camshaft and crankshaft don't
move.
