mine is an x16xe and I thought it was a bit strange it was springing, cause we did my friends and they stayed in place...could pistons 2 + 3 be at the top rather than 1+4 causing this??

they will spring back mate, you can buy a timing tool that slots between the cam sprokets or you can hold them with a spanner like lee said. just make sure you turn it over by hand first when you've got the belt fitted before you try to start it, you can get the crank 180 out

I removed the cam cover, and got a mate to hold the cam in the right plate with a spanner on its flats.
Then fitted the belt
