I have taken the motor out of time. How do you get the motor back into time? I know where the timing marks are on the gears, but where are they on the motor? Thank you.

The timing marks are on the new belt. You need to place the belt with the arrow facing towards the front of the vehicle. Then align the marks from the belt to the marks on the pulleys. On the belt there will b one line that is either a double line or a dotted line. This line will be placed on the passenger side camshaft pulleys mating mark.

Here is a link to the timing marks on the engine for the timing belt, scroll down please
