Line up the two markers on the top Timing Gear cog with these two pointers.

For a Ford Laser 1800 twin cam, the camshaft timing marks are typically aligned when the engine is set to Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke of the first cylinder. The timing marks on the camshaft gears should line up with the corresponding marks on the engine or timing cover, ensuring that the exhaust and intake cams are in the correct position. It's essential to consult the specific service manual for your vehicle model for precise markings and procedures, as variations may exist. Always verify that the timing belt or chain is properly tensioned after alignment.
