hey guys, i need a little help and or advice. I got a gsr box lancer with the sirius turbo engine (1.

. recently after doing a little burnout my car cut off and would restart but it tumbles. after diggin in we found that some of the teeth of the timing belt were ripped off. timing came out of course. being a non-interference engine we just replaced the timing belt,lined up the marks etc, and the same thing happened again just after installing the belt and driving the car. the car started and idled and revved fine after the timing belt replacement. just about 4 or 5 teeth are being eaten off. all the pulleys are fine (non wabbling) the teeth are fine, all spin freely, why is this happening??????

it is a non interference engine. valves cannot be bent. i pulled the head the first time it happened. no valves were bent.
