It may be related to the timing belt change and the quality of components you used, but it also may be the auxillary belt for the power steering or the one for the alternator and A/C. Have you checked the tension on those belts? Maybe the power steering bracket has slipped causing loss of tension on that belt? Is the A/C engaging? If you are not sure, maybe pull the A/C fuse and see if the squeal is still present next time.
