One more question

Does the deep side of the crankshaft pulley face towards the front or rear of the car?

The deep side faces the radiator, the bolts aren't long enough to work the other way.

well it keeps moving when i try to tighten the bolt and now i finally got the timing belt on but the marks arent matching up and i think it is because the pulley is moving around when i tighten it.

You just didn't get the timing belt on right, take it off and try again. The trick is to tension it around the crank and cam first, then slip the belt on either the tensioner or water pump (if on the timing belt)
