Solution
I choose to run my car without the timing belt covers and the belt must have jumped a tooth at the crank. When the crank was at TDC, both the cam gears were one tooth off (counterclockwise). After inspecting the belt, the timing was corrected and the car is running like it did just a few days ago.
[With the Cusco crank pulley, I loosened the water pump belt and then removed its pulley to gain additional clearance. To loosen the timing belt adjuster pulley bolt, I had to grind a 10mm box end wrench to make it thin enough to fit between the crank pulley and the twelve-sided 10mm bolt.]
