i tora apart my engine a little bit cause an accident broke my camshaft sprocket and now i would like to put the timing belt back on the new sprocket but are not sure if it is in the right location because the cam turned a bit while i tried to take the sprocket off. plus, i would have to align the driveshaft too right? anybody that can steer me in the right direction, please help

After the belt is in place, the marks must remain aligned as shown.

the accident broke off the alignment mark on the cam sprocket. its a needless piece if it werent for the mark on it. is it staight up at the highest point? and on the crank pully, is the mark under the belt?

diagnosticator1

The crank pulley marks align when the piston for cylinder #1 is at top dead center.

drageron

so i guess the mark on the cam sprocket should point up right? and the crank should be at top dead center

diagnosticator1

Yes, you are correct on both.
