I presume you mean setting the timing on the camshaft timing belt. Please note the alignment marks on the slave drive chain and the spockets on the far ends of the cams. This came from http://www.hmaservice.com/.

1997 > G 2.0 DOHC > Engine Mechanical System

REASSEMBLY

1.Install damper pulley flange and crankshaft sprocket as shown. Pay close attention to their mounting direction.

2.Install the camshaft sprocket and tighten the bolt, to the specified torque.

3.Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket with the No. 1 piston placed at top dead center and its compression stroke.

4.Install the timing belt tensioner and idler pulley.

5.Install the timing belt on the camshaft

6.Install the timing belt on the crankshaft.

When the timing belt is installed on the camshaft sprocket, make sure that the tension side is tighten the timing belt tensioner pulley pushing toward the water pump.

7.Turn the crankshaft one turn in operating direction (clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket timing mark.

Do not turn the crankshaft in a counterclockwise direction. the crankshaft should be turned smoothly.

8.Then recheck the belt tension. The tension side of timing belt is pushed in horizontally with a moderate force [approx. 2kg(20N, 5lb)], the timing belt cog end is approx. 4-6mm (0.18-0.24 in.) away.

9.Install the timing belt cover.

10.Install the crankshaft pulley. In this case, make sure that the crankshaft sprocket pin fits the small hole in the pulley.

11.Install the coolant pump pulley.

12.Install the drive belt and adjust the belt tension.
