If your timing belt is moving towards your engine and not keeping centered then I would check all of your tensioner bearings as well as your water pump pulley.

A friends MR2 turbo had a issue which due to the water pump pulley having play caused the timing belt to rub against the head. One other thing... if the belt has been reciently changed make sure that there is a washer behind the tensioner pullet which bolts into the head.

Hope this helps
