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

there are three timing marks one on the crank, and one one on the intake cam, there are two on the exhaust cam is the intake cam mark suppose to point towards the exhaust cam in the middle.

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.
