There's no backwards, but the timing of the pulleys when you slip it on is critical. Did you align the timing marks?

Also make sure you reconnected your crank sensor if it's a later model.

there isnt a way 2 put the belt on backwards sounds like ur timeing is off i would double check it the crank pullie has a small notch in it between some of the holes for the balancer pullie and u use the mark on the cam that is rite above the keyway on the cam pullie then rotate the engin over and then check it
