How do you line up the timing marks on a 98 cavalier 2.4 liter?

To line up the timing marks on a 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier with a 2.4-liter engine, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. Rotate the crankshaft using a socket wrench until the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley aligns with the 0 mark on the timing cover. Next, check the camshaft timing marks; the mark on the camshaft sprocket should align with the mark on the cylinder head. Finally, ensure the timing belt is properly tensioned and reassemble any removed components.
