ok here is the quick answer for setting timing on any of these 1.9l engines
first locate cylinder #1 (its the one in the front of the engine & usually holds similar stroke position to cyl #4 easy to mix them up) pull your spark plug in that cylinder and put a dowel or long screwdriver in the hole use this as a guide to set the stroke position of the crank to top of the cylinder stroke (as far up as it will go in the crank rotation) then disconnect your cam gears at the back of the cams are a pair of dot holes align them straight up on both sides (someone said a level i have the tool but have done it by brail method and line of sight, dont mess this one up or you bend your valves) once aligned reattach your cam gears and timing chain your timing is set !
