diagrams I have show a twin cam set up with 2 balancing shafts. The marks on the cam shaft point to (left cam shaft 11 oclock the mark on the right point to the 1 oclock position. The chain will have 3 black links-- the top black links will be at the timing marks on the shafts with the 3rd black link directly at 6 oclock facing a mark on the gear. The balancer marks both point to the 1 oclock position with black links on each and the 3rd black link will be facing a mark to the 7 oclock position on the crankahaft gear. Everything is done with the piston at TDC no 1 cylinder so get it there before you put the cam shafts in position or you will bend valves. Crank shaft gear is not keyed to the crank shaft. there are dots on the right hand balancer shaft gears and these dots will be as the 2 dots on adjacent teeth either side of a dot on the meshing gear. I suppose that is all as clear as mud but if you got this far then you will see the marks and marked links on the chains
The compression stroke is relative to the head (actually the position of the valves), so TDC is all the same on the block, the lower end. Just line it up at TDC on #1.
Have you checked for bent valves or broken pistons? If the timing belt broke while it was running, and you have an interference engine, there could be damage from a piston touching a valve.
I don't know if that 2.4L engine is an interference motor. google it to find out. I don't think the position of any mark on the oil sprocket makes any difference.
there are timing marks on the sprockets. the upper siprocket should have the dowel pin in the 12 oclock position then you will see a mark on the right side of the sprocket at about the 3 oclock position that you can align with a small arrow on the head. the lower sprocket also has timing marks indicating top dead center. Be careful because the 1.5 is what you call an interference motor which means if the belt actually broke the valve will get hit by the pistons cause them to be bent and ruined. you will have to remove the head and replace the valves.
The cam pulleys turn 3 or more turns to one of the camshaft. You need to find someone that is experienced on this vehicle. Just aligning marks does not mean its in sync.
that motor should be a 3.2 litre... 6VD1 there are timing marks for the cams and crankshaft... one is to the left of the left cam... the other is to the right of the right cam.... and the marks for the crankshaft pulley are at the 9 and 3 position on a clock.
