timing belt alignment

My timing belt marks aren't lining up like they should in the diagrams. When I line the belt marks up (the old belt still has fresh marks on it) with the marks on the engine, the cam marks are about 90 degrees advanced. I rotated the belt a few times but it didn't seem to affect the position of the cam marks with regard to the belt.

Also, when I took the timing belt cover off, a bearing the size of a large pea fell out. All of the idlers felt ok though. There is no noise and everything feels tight.

Any thoughts?

As you keep turning the crank they EVENTUALLY should line up.
Do you have a picture of the bearing?

The lines on the belt are only meant for the installation. They don't need to line up after that. I assume they will line up every ??? many rotations, to figure it out, count the teeth and do the math.
