Timming belt marks for a 1990 Ford Ranger 2.5

I assume 4cyl?

1. Loosen tensioner adjusting bolt.

1. Using Camshaft Belt Tension Adjusting Tool T74P-6254-A, pry tensioner clockwise against spring tension as far as possible.

1. Tighten adjusting bolt to hold tensioner in released position.

1. Align crankshaft so number one piston is at TDC (top dead center) with crankshaft key pointing straight up and circle on crankshaft sprocket (6306) aligned with notch in engine front cover (6019) .

1. Align triangle on camshaft sprocket with triangle on inner timing belt cover.

1. Align diamond on oil pump sprocket with diamond on inner timing belt cover.
   
   Timing Mark Alignment

Here are the instructions to replace the belt which are ones the same as the 2.3 earlier engine.
Getting Started

• Remove the radiator shroud and loosen the water pump pulley bolts. Remove the accessory drive belts. Remove the water pump pulley bolts. Remove the water pump pulley and the radiator cooling fan. Drain and recover the Freon from the air-conditioning system. Remove the air-conditioning compressor.
  Remove the power steering pump but leave the lines attached and move aside. Remove the air conditioning bracket. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt and the pulley using the wheel puller. Remove the timing belt cover.
  

Align Crankshaft and Block

• Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the keyway on the crankshaft sprocket is straight up and the dot to the right side of it is lined up with the corresponding mark on the block. Check that the triangle mark on the camshaft sprocket lines up with the same type mark on the block at the 5 o'clock position. If not then turn the crankshaft one more time and it will align.
  

Loosen Tensioner

• Loosen the large bolt on the top of the tensioner and then loosen the bolt closest to the tensioner pulley. Use the special ford tool and turn the tensioner clockwise to take the tension off of the timing belt and tighten the adjusting bolt lightly to hold it out of your way. Remove the timing belt.
  

Work Counterclockwise

• Install the new timing belt starting on the right side and work counterclockwise. The circle on the crankshaft sprocket and the diamond marks on the oil pump and the triangle marks on the camshaft sprocket should always stay lined up. Loosen the adjuster bolt on the tensioner and rotate the engine two turns clockwise and realign the timing marks. Tighten the tensioner-adjusting bolt next to the tensioner pulley and then pivot bolt. Install the rest of the components in the reverse order that they were removed and tighten the crankshaft bolt to 121 foot-pounds of torque.

hi from uk having lined ip timing marks on cogs? fit c/belt anticlockwise from crank pully cog then making sure that belt ist taut on none tensioner side ? slacken and re tighten tensioner bolt then turn crankshaft anti clockwise sixturns anticlockwise till c/shaft andcam marks re aligne ? now slacken tensioner bolt again and gently turn engine back/anti cockwise three teeth only!on the camshaft cog having done this tighten the tensioner bolt 44Nm final check !turn engine anti clockwisetill timing marks re aligne then if all ok ? re assemble engine hope this helps good luck !
