If by timing you mean that you aren't sure that you have the belt on the cam/crank assemblies properly, now is a bad time to mention it. This is an interference engine. Proper alignment of the crank/cam with the timing belt is critical and must be exact or serious internal engine damage will result. Even turning the engine too far without the belt properly aligned can damage pistons and valves. At this point if you didn't get it right, the damage is probably already done. For a quick check, disable the fuel pump, pull the spark plugs and perform a compression check. If it doesn't pass, take it all apart and assess the damage and repair as necessary.

Pull old pump off. Use a screwdriver to start it but be careful not to bend the old pump. Also, tapping the center of the pulley lightly with a hammer may help loosen it. If it is hard to get out, check and make sure all bolts are removed. When you remove the pump, there will not be enough room to remove the pulley drum from the pump. This is important to remember when installing the new water pump.
Scrape area off with a gasket scraper and razor blade to remove old gasket. Make sure its clean! Spray it with brake cleaner and wipe clean afterward.
Spray both sides of the new gasket with high tack. High tack works much better than the goop because it is clean, even, and seals well.
Slip gasket in carefully and be sure it fits properly over bolts and is in correct placement against block. Press down to ensure seal.
Spray the inside of the water pump with high tack evenly.
Install water pump into correct place against block making sure that pulley drum is already hanging from new pump or you will not get it on afterward!

This will give you more hand room I Take the 2 nuts off the bottom of the front motor mount and back motor mount, on the passenger side then I jack up the motor on the passenger side end of the oil pan with a board between the jack and the oil pan. You can jack it up a couple of inches, it gives you plenty of room. I leave it jacked up until I'm done, even putting the belt on is alot easier. Then lower the motor, and put the nuts back on the mounts
If you open up the unit, you may be able to fix the jack if it has come loose and maybe got a broken connection in the process. It may just be a "cold solder joint" causing the problem
