To set the engine timing on a 4-cylinder engine, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Remove any necessary covers to access the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft. Rotate the crankshaft to align the timing marks to the manufacturer’s specifications, typically found in the service manual. Once aligned, adjust the distributor or ignition timing as needed, using a timing light to verify that the timing is set correctly at the specified RPM.

How do you replace timing belt in 2001 Saturn wagon?

If it's the 4 cylinder engine, you don't. The 4 cylinder uses a timing chain and it doesn't need to be replaced until you rebuild the engine. If it's the 6 cylinder engine you need the special tool set that aligns all 4 camshafts while holding the crankshaft at the proper position. It's effectively impossible to replace the timing belt without the special tool set; don't even try. Last time I checked, the tool set was about $500.
