Timing belt install

Superwhite, it sounds like you did everything right. Rotating the engine twice will even out the tension in the belt. As a check, just push on the belt between the cams to make sure the tension is even with no sloppiness. When I did my timing belt, I had to adjust the exhaust cam slightly with the dowel pins to get the timing dead on. Did yours need any adjustment?
