there is one indent on each cam gear, it needs to line up on the valve cover.

There is also a mark on the crank pulley that needs to line up as well.

use a 1/2 drive ratchet to line them up

What did you do to make you think timing is off?

did you recently change the timing belt or something or do you suspect you jumped timing?

Does it start any faster if you put a hot battery/huge jump box on it?
