Best Answer

Buy the repair manual for the car. It will pay for itself quickly.

1) Rotate crankshaft to align the flywheel pointer to TDC of the No. 1 cylinder compression stroke.

2) Make sure timing pointer must be aligned with the white mark on the flywheel; the cam pulley must be set so the small dot or the word UP is vertical and the marks on the edges of the pulley are aligned with the surface of the head.

3) Fit the belt to the engine and slide it onto the cam pulley. Loosen the adjusting bolt slowly, allowing the adjuster to move against the belt. Tighten the adjuster bolt temporarily.

4) Install the lower timing belt cover.

5) Install the crankshaft pulley and key.

6) Adjust the timing belt tension. Loosen the adjusting bolt. Rotate the crankshaft counter clockwise until the camshaft pulley has moved 3 teeth. Tighten the adjusting bolt to 31 ft. lbs

7) Install the water pump belt and pulley, drive belts

8) Install upper timing belt cover and valve cover.

9) Start the engine, allowing it to idle. Listen carefully for any indication of the belt rubbing or slapping the covers.

The hole for the timing marks is located on the front of the engine, right below the distributor. You'll have to remove the hood to get a good angle for the timing light (I don't know why they designed it that way).
