If you removed the timing belt without moving anything, the timing will still be good. Just put the new belt back on. But this is an interference engine so you don't want to turn crankshaft or camshafts with belt off...you will get jammed up tight using a wrench. Check for a Youtube video. There are markers that align, to be sure you are not off a cog or two with the timing once the new belt is on. Some belts even have markers.....but again the sprockets have to be turned only with belt ON.
