If you're lucky there should be an arrow or notch on the rear cam cover near the cam sprocket and another mark on the cam sprocket itself. Otherwise there is a set of special tools to lock the crank and cam in place.
Then use a paint pen to mark the crankshaft gear - some have one short too, some have a dot some have nothing hence the reason it's easier to mark it yourself.
trywww.autozone.com to see if they have your car listed for diagrams pictures and step by step instructions if your car is not listed then try your local library they have all the car manuals and even copy them for you
hi, here is a guide i have come across on this site written by another expert it should be the one for your engine but always double check.
If you are unsure what you are doing then please go out and buy a haines workshop manual as these tell you every detail you need to know so that would be your best solution.
Please dont do this work if your unsure what you are doing as you could damage the engine beyond repair so you have been warned;
