You need to put the number 1 cylinder at top dead center. The Cylinder all the way to the left of the engine as you are looking at it from the front of the car. Take the spark plug out and rotate the engine clockwise. When you feel compression in the number one cylinder by holder a finger in the spark plug hole Then line up the crank sprocket with the mark on the oil pump housing. You will have to take the bottom pulley off the see the mark on the lower cam belt sprocket. The pointer on the crankshaft sprocket will be at the 12 O'clock position. The upper camshaft sprocket is lined up with the mark on the cylinder head. Look at the upper camshaft sprocket. There are 5 holes around it. On one of the holes there is an arrow pointing up. Line this point up with the mark on the cylinder head. The pointer on the camshaft sprocket should be at the 12 o' clock position to line it up with the mark on the cylinder head. Once you get the timing belt on and tensioned rotate the crankshaft sprocket gear 2 complete turns to make sure the timing hasn't jumped while you were setting it up. If after rotating it 2 complete turns the timing marks are still lined up you are good to go. A piece of cake!

How do you line up timing belt marks for 97 ford escort?
To line up the timing belt marks for a 97 Ford Escort, the cam and crank sprockets should both be oriented with the timing mark on each sprocket in the 12 o'clock position. The tension should not be released on the belt. Once tension is applied to the belt, that should bring the cam slightly rearward to the position where it's supposed to be. Then check the timing by turning the engine clockwise for two turns.

Ignition timing is not adjustable. Cam timing is adjustable by the "guess" method unless you are replacing the timing belt and using the timing marks on the belt drive cogs, in which case you need a repair manual that has detailed instructions.
