If you go online and search the images for your car there are all sorts of pictures of timing marks. I put in "99 Mitsubishi Eclipse timing belt" and it all pops up.
The best thing to do is go down to your local automotive store and buy a repair manual for your car. It will take you through the process better then what can be explained here and it has pictures to help you as well. I have a 97 GS and the book has been invaluable.
the engine is an interference engine so if the timing belt skipped, it should be fixed before starting the engine again. otherwise you run the risk of bend/break valves from piston to valve contact
for a quick quote look up a price just for the head itself. i think youll find its pretty pricy even with out labor and if v-6 double it.(for ballpark price call dealer for price on the parts. then figure 8-10 hrs labor.
