please don't think i am being smart but Very carefully. the hardest are the dual cams on top ,aline the 2 notches at 12.00,NOw this is simpler said than done, you are fighting the cam springs SOooo, keeping them at 12
:00 is the real fun.I take 2 ratchet wrenches and 2 sockets and set them so they are hard on when against the springs at 12:00.This takes some practice and then anchor them to each other to keep them from moving.This is an excellent time to replace the water pump,as much trouble as it is to set the timing,change the water pump while you are right there. $ 55.00 beats $450.00 when you are on vacation three months after you changed timing belt and it WILL go bad ! been there done that. once you have accomplished that feat, the crank neads to be set on its mark with #1 at TDC.install new belt around tensioner and that shiny new water pump ,crank etc. NOw comes more fun, try to keep the cams absolutely still when you let the tensioner tighten against the belt throwing one cam off by one knotch.It can be done. try again.And again. When you thin k your good take off wrenches and turn engine over by hand bringing timing marks back on line .Ask yourself "do they still line up ? Remember do not over tighen tensioner belt tightener force, let the spring do the tightening,if you don"t trust the spring or it seems to stick get a new spring and slider piece. Otherwise you will have put it ALL back together and running and your wife will ask " why is it making that whining noise ?" " it didn"t before ! " and you will get to take it all apart again just to readjust the tensioner. pleasant dreams,from one mechanic to another.
