On a pre 1997 with a timing BELT: Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley lines up with the dot on the block at the 1 o'clock position. Check the timing mark on the camshaft. The small hole in the sprocket should line up with the dot on the head at the 12 o'clock position. If it is not lined up, turn the crankshaft one more turn, and both marks will line up.
With the the crank pulley at tdc, the white mark on the cam gear lines up with the center of the rocker shaft.
For the crank shaft, there is a mark on the oil pump gear which should be straight up, same as the key way if you want to go by that. On the cam the pulley has a mark that should be pointing straight up toward the "V" in the cover behind the pulley. Hope this helps.
you set timing by the marks on the cam shaft and the crank shaft. they should point at together to make it run right.
Where do you set crank and cam shaft marks to set timing on a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder?" Did the timing belt snap ? if so the engine will have bent valves and require more work than just the belt. This is timing belt job is not one for the inexperienced diy mechanic. Not trying to be a wise guy, but get the manual, the timing mark set up isn't a simple explanation .

My honda passport 3.2 litter, to set the timing my belt has three timing marks on the outside of the belt, crank the motor over till you see the two belt marks towards the top of the cam shaft or around thier if one is at top the other cam can not be seen so botn cams have to be tilted set both belt marks to the cam shaft marks. When the belt comes off dont get the cams out of phase they tend to unwind a bit, put back. A nd the crank shaft has a green timing mart on it after you pull off the pulley and cover, so match the other timing belt mark on the belt to the crank shaft mark then put the tensioner back on now it is on dead set timing.
the cam gear mark is set at 6 o' clock and the crank gear mark is set at 12 o'clock.
Line crank shaft pulley timing mark on tc mark on timing belt cover. Look at cam shaft timing belt sprocket and locate the small triangle (not diamond shape) located on the plate attached to the timing sprocket. Referencing the timing sprocket look approximately at 5:00 o'clock under the timing sprocket and locate the other small triangle. Line these 2 marks up. Put timing belt on. Make sure the cam shaft sprocket and crank shaft sprocket do not turn while installing the belt. The crank shaft pulley must be removed in order to get the timing belt on.
There is a dot on the timeing gear that lines up with an arrow on the block 2 the upper right 4 the crank. A dot on the cam sprocket that lines up with a line on the cover just behind it
Timing on a single-cam 1998 Honda Civic is marked on the cam shaft. The distributor will also need to be set of the appropriate degrees.
The mark on the cam gear should be at 6 o'clock and the mark on the crank gear should be at 12 o'clock.
