If you are asking about timing gears with a belt system, you have to line the timing marks up with the marks on the gears. If you want to know about chain gear alignment please re-ask with vehicle specifics and I can answer that also.
When you remove and replace your cam and chain and install new cams and chains, you should notice little marks on your cams, and crankshaft. Those marks should line up with marks on your block or heads. That is true for any engine. If you do not see the marks, get someone who knows what he is doing to make them line up. Then put on your chain and attach the ends with your monkey link. Someone may correct me since it has been years. I always set the timing with a timing light. The old chain had stretched and worn. The new one is new. They are different lengths. Your timing will be off. You will need to reset the timing. There are two marks. One on the block and one on the drive unit for the fan belt. You have an adjustment on the distributor to get the timing right. You hook up a wire on your timing light to the first spark plug on the right side. When the flashing light hits the two at the same time, your timing is correct. If you removed the cam and did not replace the chain, you missed a good opportunity. Normally, the chain wears out long before the cam. Soon, you will throw the chain and be stuck on the side of the road if not in the middle. Hopefully you will not be passing someone.
