K so after I was done and started up the car the timing belt moved left (passenger side) from the center of both cogs. I freaked out thinking it was gonna fall off but held. It is off the sproket and cam just a little bit but holding on. Why is this happening? Even when I move it back a few times it keeps going to that spot. Also I don`t have the little metal piece in front of the timing belt cause the old one got damaged. kinda looks like my belt is vibrating a little, but the car runs fine no ruff idle nor misfiring or anything at all, runs like it always has. Maybe I`m overthinking it all? Advice would help thanks d=-)

The water pump isn't something you want to have "go" on you... it can pretty much cause damage to your engine if it stops working.
Lifetime warranty or not, you should replace it every other t-belt job (80k miles is a good interval if you're using a quality pump such as OEM or Aisin) -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
