Can you tell me how to align the crankshaft with the 2 camshafts? The timing belt broke and I need to align the camgears.

On the exhaust cam, use the mark closest to word exhaust.
Note the picture. The info came from our database.
If you have a broken timing belt on that engine, you are likely looking at replacing an engine, not just a belt.
