route the belt over the big pulley first as you route to the rest of the pulleys the last one should be to the tension pulley guide the belt half way on the tension pully pull the belt with your hand as if the belt is turning with engine. make sure belts in the groves of each pulley.

Try tighting it first and than loosining it.remember righty tighty lefty loosy

was this the bolt in center of the tensioner pulley? if so you will need to remove and replace the tensioner assembly, if not which bolt did you break?
SOURCE: What are the chances that a timing tensioner arm
What happens on this make and model engine is believe it or not it is not a tensionor problem. The problems is the vehicle is using oil, 99% of the times the oil is going past the rings. When the engine gets low on oil it starts to leave heavy varnish/sludge deposits thur out the engine. The timing chain tension is operated off oil pressure, when oil pressure gets weak due to low oil level tensionor cannot keep enough pressure on chain guide. Chains start slapping around and break a guide, usually it's the one between water pump and right cam gear. Begin oil consumption testing and deytermine how much oil your burning. You can either repair or just keep it full of oil. The problem with keeping it full and not fixing is that all the fresh oil all the time tends to loosen up the varnish/sludge deposits and then it restricts the oil pick up screen. Hope this helps. I've seen hundreds of these engines do the same thing and they all have one thing in common, oil burning past the rings!!!!!!!!!
