Hi there,

with the timing covers removed, turn the engine over until the cam marks (i) inlet & (E) exhaust are at 12.00 O'Clock they will align with notches on the backing plate, the crank shaft will have a notch & alignment mark & 12.00 O'Clock as well,

mark (mhpautos)


See the diagram below

if you are talking about replacing belt here are the marks, crank mark will be especially hard to see. see pictures. they should line up to timing marks.
