   Why would it moved if you put a stopper in it? it shouldnt have moved but you can check by removing the spark plug closest to the timing belt and sticking a long screw driver in and adjust the timing there. The screw driver should be at the highest peak (just before it drops down again).

   Your supposed to lock the top and bottom end prior to strip down fella!
   
   You know how to lock off top end by sound of it already, the botom end is similar affair really, there is a wee hole for a drill bit or similar (6mm iirc) to go through engine block casting into flywheel. It's about the same height as the oil filter I think, prob be hard to find it though - but trust me it's there. Make sure both are locked off when refitting cambelt and rotate engine by hand to be double sure beofre firing her up.
