Timing marks on 2003 ford ranger timing chain 2.3 dual?

To set the timing marks on a 2003 Ford Ranger with a 2.3L engine, align the camshaft sprocket mark with the mark on the timing cover, ensuring the crankshaft is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. The crankshaft timing mark should align with the pointer on the oil pump. Ensure that the timing chain is taut and properly seated on the sprockets. After installation, double-check the alignment before reassembling the engine.
