He said it's a 2.0 Liter. 1990 and 91 are the same. the crank shaft pulley lines up with the "0" mark located on the lower portion of the timing belt/water pump/oil pump cover. the top cam pulley lines up with the hole and a small dimple in the engine block behind the pulley, it;s super irritating to find and see, to be sure it;s correct you can put a small dill bit backwards into that hole and look careful with a flash light, sucks but it works. why am i here? i wanted to know what the crank shaft is positioned at when the cover is not on so i don't have to install the pulley to find it again. I have accidentally moved everything when I was installing the belt after the water pump and all the other stuff. i think they should have put the marks on the block as well as the plastic cover.it's a pretty important thing after all.
when the thing you are reading says somethings at 11 o clock, it means it;s at 11 o clock. Not 11 O clock after and earth quake tilts your house. the dimple in the engine lines the cam shaft pulley up with the hole in that pulley at 11 o clock. 12 being straight up 11 being behind that towards the windshield/passenger seat.
when you are installing that timing belt make sure your slack that is going to get grabbed up when un blot the spring tensioner is coming from below. if there is slack between the water pump and cam shaft pulley it will still be there when you release the tensioner.

on the intake cam use the middle mark in between the big one and the other small one on the exhaust cam use the use the smallest mark farthest away from the 2 small marks on the same tooth. line those 2 marks up on the same tooth in the middle.

Well if it is a 4 cylinder the timing marks would be small hole in camshaft lined up with little dot on head at 12 o'clock position and the crank with the pulley on should line up with 0 on the timing indicator. If it is a 6 cyl then the marks would be- camshafts both with dots up and lined up with indicaters on heads and crank timing mark on 0 with the harmonic balancer installed. Hope this helps.

If u cannot obtain the itming marks, u mite have to time the engine by first pricnciple. Ensure that #1 cylinder is @ TDC (compression stroke). Install the camshaft making sure that the cam lobes for #1 cylinder are on the lower side and not on the tip of the cam. Also when installing the distributor, ensure that it's set to spark @ #1 cylinder. In modern day vehicles, the distributor can only be fitted one way so theree is no need to time the ignition timing via distributor. If this is too much, u can check the crankshaft & camshaft sprocket for distinct timing markings . This should be checked when the components are clean

On the crankshaft gear there is a VERY small dimple that aligns with a mark on the motor. The mark on the motor (a small triangle) is at roughly 11 o'clock. After you line these timing marks up look at the camshaft gear and you will see that on one of the spokes there is a hole. You need to use a mirror to line this hole up with the dimple on the cover that is behind the camshaft gear. (It is at roughly 1 o'clock) If this hole is 180 degrees from where it should be you need to rotate the motor 1 more revolution at the crankshaft and it should now be lined up, or close. Once lined up I like to take a silver (metallic) Sharpie and make my own mark on the camshaft gear and on the backing plate that is behind it. You can make this mark where ever it is convenient for you. As long as you know where your marks line up, that is all that matters. This way I don't have to use the mirror as often.

There is only 1 "set" of timing marks. If there is more than 1 then someone has modified your engine components. Here is a picture of where they should be.
