Its a taper fit so no markings on the gear what you do is too look on the cam shaft at the rear as i seem to remember a slot but if this is the renault engine then the slot is at a angle and not horizontal with the head ,cannot remember more but i seem to remember a mark on a cam cap housing as well ,or was that the diesel ?? Sorry but iam getting old a losing the plot as i do so many types of vehicle but a quick check is to check the position of the cams on no1 cylinder ,the rest will follow of course ,make sure the pistons are down a bit so as not to hit the valves back off a bit anticlockwise then turn the cams so the inlet is up and to the left and just moving away from the tappet as its just closed and the exhaust up and to the right then look for some indication as to the timing marks
SOURCE: NEED TO KNOW TIMING MARKS ON 84 S-10 2.8
the timing is set to 8 degrees at 700 rpm...if it helps any
SOURCE: ive been trying to set
It is possible to set the timing wrong....if the belt broke well running I believe this is an interference motor..meaning if the timing is off the cylinder can move up and smack a Valve being exhaust or intake. which means a valve can break or bend cause lack of seal thus no compression. When setting the timing you want to align your marks with Cylinder # 1 it needs to be on the compression stroke..you can do this by removing cyl 1 spark plug and rotating the crankshaft with your finger over the spark plug hole you will feel air press against your finger meaning all valves are closed and your in compression stroke. Then line up your marks and you should have it...I would consider purchasing a compression tester to make sure no damage to the cylinder head....good luck hope this helps
