Ok looks like your timing belt is off then. Time for some real fun.
You have to remove the timing belt, set the #1 cylinder to TDC and realign the cam gear.
Then you can slip the belt back on, shit GET A NEW ONE since you will have to do this work.
IF you do some digging you can get a more detailed walkthru of the process.
Its good to replace the belt every 60,000 miles or so anyways if it breaks you can really get screwed.
