The problem probably is due to incorrect belt replacement which more than likely rotated the valves into the pistons so the cam cannot move check on this remove plugs check compression
If you index the engine properly (put cylinder 3 at top dead center, verified by alignment of timing marks on cam sprockets and crank pulley) you can remove the belt safely - the cams won't spin. But to get the housing off, you can slide the belt forward on the cam sprocket without removing it. Do it carefully - I've slid them halfway off and had a friend hold it while I tapped the channeling plate downward and off to replace the thermostat. Then slide it back in place once the new thermostat is in and the plate is resecured in place.
Crank/cam misaligned timing can be due to a slack timing belt jumping a tooth on a cog. Check that the belt is tight and that the timing marks on belt align with the cam and crank pulley timing marks.
Yes. Most defiantly replace the water pump.
If the pump bearing should collapse it will break the new timing belt
and do a lot of damage to the valves and cylinder head.
Good Luck with it

you must take valve cover off and put the cam on it mark and with a wrench lock cam in place it would be help full if you have an a sis tent to hold cam in place while you put timing belt on good luck
Timing belt needs to be replaced every 100000 km at the most . Do you know when it was replaced last ? Did they remove the front pulley (The one on the crankshaft)? The Timing belt and AUX belts are not related to the sump but they are related to the crankshaft pulley , Depending on the type of repair carried out they may have removed the pulley in order to replace the crankshaft front oil seal.If I was replacing a crankshaft oilseal due to oil leaking I would have fitted a new Timing belt as well as Tensioner , Idler/s , Water pump (if driven by timing belt) as well as the AUX belts as Oil can damage rubber . Hope this makes sense to you ? Looking forward to your reply Regards George
Your 180 off dont try to start it anymore unless you want bent valves.I just bought a fixer w/bent valves due to 180 off time the woodruff key on a Subaru isnt tdc its the vertical line on the outer fin on the pulley in line with the vertical line on the oil pump 12 oclock the top cams single line 12 oclock. II the double lines pointing 6 oclock pointing to bottom cams II double line at 12 oclock.A manual is pricless for this info and saves time
