I know it is an old topic, but I thought I would share incase someone else came around looking for the info. I figured out how to identify all the timing marks. There is a balancer shaft belt and a camshaft belt. The balancer (sometimes called silent shaft) gear was the easiest to identify. There is an arrow on the gear and a notch in the side of the case where the timing cover goes. Line those up. The crankshaft gear has a clear mark on it, it is a notch on the side of the gear. The mark to line it up with is probably the toughest to figure out. It is at the 10 -11 o'clock position off to the side of the gear, right next to a bolt. Line the notch on the gear up with the tab on the case. The oil pump gear needs special attention. Ther are clear markings on both the gear and the case, but the important part is that the gear can be 180 degrees off. The way to figure it out is to line it up and give it a slight turn. If it has a tendancy to keep turning to the right (clockwise) than you have it INCORRECT. The correct placement will make the gear want to stay where it is when turned slighty. Lastly the cam gear. There is a small notch in the cam gear... kinda tough to see but unmistakable once found. The mark to line it up with is perfectly in the 9 o'clock position on the head. Line all these up and put the belts on. Put the tension on the belts and make sure the marks are still lined up. It may take a time or two depending on how you apply the tension. You may have to take it back off and rotate the belt a tooth or two. You also want to make sure that the number one cylinder is at the TDC position on the compression stroke. Hopefully this helps someone out. It took me a while to get it all figured out and I wish someone would have posted this for me when I needed it.
