[Shotimes] Rookie Timing Belt Question

[Kenneth Epperly]

On the crank sprocket there is a mark that gets lined up with the index mark 
in the oil pump housing, about the 5 O clock position. The cam sprockets 
line up with the index mark on the back plate. The tensioner will be ok just 
move it all the way back.
