When timing marks on cams and crankshaft aligns number two piston is on TDC. Engine turns over but not starting. When putting number one piston on TDC and cams on mark then it locks against open valves and engine cannot turn over it just moves a bit. What angle and position must cam lobes be when on correct marks?

I do not show an S40 nor a 2.0 engine being sold in the US, so I cannot give you specific instructions. I know many Volvo's I have seen in the pasts require some special hold down tools and if you have already rotated it while out of time, you may already have valve damage.
Not all engines time on number one, many time on a position that has nothing on TDC to prevent valve damage.

When crankshaft sprocket is aligned on crankcase mark, should cylinders one and four be at TDC -or should cylinders one and three be at TDC? If neither, how many degrees + or TDC and on which pair? Engine came to me in pieces. Thank you, in advance for input.

Number one should be TDC.

Here is a link that will take you to the camshaft and crankshaft timing marks:

I bought the tool for the back of the head for the cams, and I used whiteout on the camshaft sprockets b 4 I pulled it out, but, didn't whiteout the crank. The tool lines up the cams, but, the marks on the cam sprockets don't line up with the top cover. Do I have to put in the crank tool so the whole thing lines up correctly? In accordance to the timing mark on the crank to the left of the ridge on the engine?

Forget about the white out. You need to time the cams and crank and install the belt

If the diagrams are not correct, they are similar. Before removing the belts, make sure you turn the crankshaft till you have the marks lined up accordingly.

After installation, manually turn the crankshaft 2 turns clockwise and recheck the marks. If they are off, it means you have not installed them correctly.

Why do you need to replace the gears? If you have to, after removing the gears, reinstall them and turn them to the correct position for installing the belt. No difference.

There is no guide on the cams to install the gears if you remove them. You will need the cam lock tool to lock cams in place. If the cams are not in there correct position you could damage the valves because vehicle is not properly timed. You can look for the tool online but will run you somewhere between $300-$600 dollars. The tool will come with the cam and crank lock. F you are trying to remove the exhaust cvvt and intake cam gear for an oil leak then replace the cvvt hub also along with the seals. Those things always start to leak after 100k miles. I Hope these info helps and good luck to you.
