SOURCE: putting on timing belt .
The crank has got to be at TDC, with the marks lined up, the cams have to be lined up to their marks, then the belt will line up, If it doesn't line up, You will be walking home. If you have the old belt handy and the marks are still visible, compare them to the new belt, make sure they are the same. Pull the pin on the belt tensioner and you should be all set. Hope this helps.

The timing marks are generally tiny arrow located on the gears which hold the timing belt. Make sure the arrows are pointing up and you should be close enough to get the vehicle started and to a garage for minor adjusting with a timing light. Unless of course you have one of those timing lights.
