I second that!
After changing my timing belt, I ended up taking it to the shop for them to set the timing straight. I probably could have done it my self but I didn't feel like taking the time  .
Take your time and follow the book to the letter.
I dispute your second on that! Spend $8 and get a factory Ford manual from Todras. Much better than a Chiltons/Haynes/etc. Plus the Ford manual will have part numbers for you to reference.

NO Darrel has a zetec (non running  ) but still a zetec.
Did you ask around, don't cost much just to ask for help, although i never asked for any, most of the time CEG'rs will gladly help others if they can, look around.
You should know this with 6500 + posts 
yes I know that Darrel has a zetec but I know hes busy because he rarely checks the boards anymore and I wanted the Ford DVD from him but haven't heard back yet...so my guess is that hes too busy for any of this right now. Which is quite alright because truthfully I wanna be able to get through this myself just for experience points. Although if they have something to add via this post then go for it.

alright I think I'll PM him about that right now... I do have a question for you guys in the meantime though  does this piece need to be removed to get to the crank pulley so that I can set the timing? Or do I need to go underneath to get to it or what? I thought I could get it by removing my wheel but the fender is in the way.

With wheel off, there should be a cover you remove to access the crank pulley. If you are trying to keep the car's timing, I guess you would align it with the marks on the block/oil pan and put the car in fifth gear and rig something up to hold the brakes hard (per haynes manual).

I'm getting unmotivated...I can't get to the crank pulley and tensioner pulley! I've removed the wheel, removed the wheel well liner and ther is more f*ckin metal in the way! There is nothing else to remove to get to it! I can't remove the black piece on top because I've got nothing to support the engine... I don't know what to do...

But that makes no sense Ninja. How could there be metal in front of the crank pulley? Also the tensioner...isn't it just below your intake sprocket???
As for the Black piece aka right hand engine mount, it shouldn't be a problem to just leave it unsupported. Some may recommend against it, but it didn't bother my engine when I replaced my mounts like that and when I did my Timing Belt. You could always, albeit temporarily, put the emergency jack with a block of wood to support it.

well I don't have any wood
and yes I know where its at but I can't get to it because the engine mount is in the way...which I can't take off because I have no other way to support the engine.
But anyways I got one problem solved, there was a small piece covering the crank pulley but that is removed kinda...but now my question is how do I line this b!tch up? I'm not seeing any marks...
I also just thought about something right after I posted this message, is the middle timing belt cover gonna make it difficult for me to remove the timing belt?
