I think all DOHCs love to put themselves one tooth off because of the way the cams sit at 1 TDC.

I despise Chilton's manuals ands am not wild about Haynes, but either of those would be a good investment at this point. $20 will get you instructions with pictures and tips.How do i time my timing belt on my 99 ford escort zx2 2.0 dohc?
You need a timing light to that if you do not have one you have to seek a repair shop that does. Unless you have $100 to invest in a light which you may only use once
