How do you set the timing on a 97 Suzuki escudo?

To set the timing on a 1997 Suzuki Escudo, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Remove the timing cover to access the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft. Align the timing marks according to the manufacturer's specifications, typically with the crankshaft at Top Dead Center (TDC) for cylinder one. Finally, adjust the distributor or ignition timing as needed, using a timing light to check the timing against the specified degrees before TDC.
