They are ususally arrows, lines, or symbols...make sure the marks do not move from where they are when you replace the belt, or you will have to reset the cam timing!

good luck with the fix!

If you dont know the marks on an engine when replacing the timing belt. There are usually marks on the pulleys and housings to line up. Put the engine on top dead centre TDC from the crankshaft marks before looking for the other marks. If you cant find them Use white out to place your own marks on the pulleys and housings before removing the old belt . To be sure nothing gets out of line mark any pulley that has teeth. It can be useful to take a few digital photos . When fitting the new belt make sure your marks line up again.

I REPLACED TIMING BELT .AND I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO RESET THE TIMING ,SO AS NOT TO DAMAGE TO MOTOR. WHEN I GO TO START IT UP .

If you did not set the gears(pulleys) in the same place or set the marks in the timing belt to the marks in the gears the car wont start. when you do the the job is when you set the timing, not after you done. If you use a cheap timing belt those belts do not have marks, I recommend to get a belt from toyota that has a mark for each cam pulley and another mark for the crank pulley. Toyota doesn't have interference engines, so no matter how bad is your timing the car wont start just spin.
