Locate the timing mark on the camshaft sprocket. The timing mark on the camshaft sprocket is also a small notch or dot. It is located on the side of the sprocket that faces the engine block.
Align the timing marks. To align the timing marks, turn the crankshaft pulley until the timing mark on the pulley lines up with the timing mark on the camshaft sprocket.
Secure the crankshaft pulley. Once the timing marks are aligned, secure the crankshaft pulley in place. This can be done by tightening the crankshaft pulley bolt.
Install the timing belt. Once the crankshaft pulley is secured, you can install the timing belt. The timing belt is a toothed belt that connects the crankshaft pulley to the camshaft sprocket.
Tension the timing belt. Once the timing belt is installed, you need to tension it. This can be done by following the instructions in your vehicle's owner's manual.
Check the timing. Once the timing belt is tensioned, you need to check the timing. This can be done by turning the engine over by hand and checking that the timing marks still align.
