Uhhhh... the belt is a toothed belt. There is NO timing at all. You line up the timing points on the crankshaft and camshaft (there is a mark on the block near each and a corresponding mark on each shaft which line up with each other), loop the belt over the teeth on each shaft and then apply tension with the tensioner. Timing gears, timing chain, timing belt, they all work exactly the same way, linking the crankshaft to the camshaft.

your best option is trying to get the shop manual for your car, all shop manuals says how to change your timming belt

if you want a fine tune for the cam belt i have to tell you that you cant do that, you have to place your belt like the book says or do nothing
