    There are reference marks on the pulleys, you better get a book and study it. if you make a mistake on this engine you can bend valves and damage pistons. Be absolutely sure about the cam timing on this motor, no room for error. And don't ever take off a timing belt without turning the engine to the proper timing marks before touching anything!
