Depending on the vehicle make model etc. There should be timing marks on the gears and then again on the timing belt. You must align the marks on each. Also dependant on make model etc. you may need to look up # of teeth from center to each end and then count to make sure that you are aligning with the proper mark.

How do you set timing on a 2001 zx2?

Unless you have had the timing belt off or it has broken the timing should still be correct. The way you set the timing is by taking the timing belt off and lining up the timing marks and put the belt back on. I added a link to a text how-to for setting the timing on the Zetec engine. -ZX2Fast

The timing should not need setting unless you have a failed timing belt or head repair of sorts. after the new parts for the head are all in place set no 1 piston to top dead center, line the cam sprocket and the crank so both timing marks are together going north south put on the timing belt and tighten the pensioner up you have base timing hook up a timing light loosen the distributor and locate the timing window on the bell housing (near the head) mark the recommended setting with a white marker and and the required setting on the window. start the engine and using your light line up your setting or as you desire!

You just replaced the timing chain in a 1996 Nissan truck 2.4L and you are having trouble setting the timing any suggestions?

There are marks on the chain that coordinate with marks on the timing gear. Make sure these line up when putting on the timing chain, and you should be good to go. Getting to the timing chain is the real battle.
