RTFSM for starters

there are markings on the cams and crank, and the belt normally has markings too to make it easier, but RTFSM to see how it's done.

Cam gears have marks, as does the crank gear. There are aligning marks on the backing plate for the cams, and on the oil pump housing. If you get a new belt, it will have alignment marks on it. You can also READ THE FSM and it will tell you how many cogs are between each mark...
