timing marks for a 2.3 engine

I answered it myself with a little web browsing. The following picture answered my crank timing issue. Hope it helps someone else.

I also found this guide on this site, look toward the bottom

Please let us know what happens so it will help others.

Cheers

Here is another picture that may help. There is a second (diamond shaped) mark on the aux pulley that has to be lined up on some models. Maybe this picture will help.

does the oil pump sprocket need to be in time with the crankshaft and camshaft on a 92 2.3 engine?

No it does not. This drive just runs the oil pump and there is no balance or timing problems.

i need a diagram showing the timing marks on the ranger-it has a 2.3 liter

Installation (Models With Distributor) 1. Install crankshaft sprocket (if removed) with recessed area toward crankshaft. See Fig. 1 . Install belt guide with flat side toward camshaft sprocket. Install camshaft sprocket with timing mark outward. 2. Install NEW camshaft sprocket bolt, and tighten to specification while holding camshaft with camshaft sprocket holder. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . 3. Align camshaft sprocket timing mark with pointer. Properly position crankshaft so timing mark aligns with notch in front cover casting. See Fig. 2 . Remove the distributor cap, and ensure that the distributor rotor is facing the No. 1 position. 4. Install timing belt over crankshaft sprocket, then counterclockwise over auxiliary shaft and camshaft sprockets. Loosen belt tensioner bolt, allowing tension to be applied on timing belt. 5. Remove one spark plug from each cylinder. Rotate engine clockwise (viewed from front of engine) 2 complete revolutions. Tighten timing belt tensioner bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Ensure all timing marks align properly. See Fig. 1 . Install belt guide on crankshaft. 6. To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . 7. Disconnect heater hose from fitting on thermostat housing to bleed air from cooling system when filling. Fill cooling system with Ford Coolant (E2FZ-19549-AA), or equivalent, until coolant flows from fitting. Install heater hose. Refill radiator. Adjust drive belts to proper tension.

NOTE: It may be necessary to push belt tensioner against timing belt, as spring tension may not move belt tensioner against timing belt.

What is the procedure for changing the timing belt on a 1993 ford ranger 2.3 liter engine. How do I align the cams and crank shaft for new belt install.
