Okay, first I need to say this engine is an "interference" engine which means: If the timing belt breaks, the pistons can hit the valves, causing bent valves or engine damage. So that is not good. This engine has no traditional timing marks but instead lock bar to hold the camshafts themselves so you will need those while the crankshaft has a hole that a pin will need to be inserted to hold in the correct placement. Once the engine is back together you can do a compression test to see if the valves are bent. Here is the kit you need to do the job. You can find it on amazon.
