can anyone advise where to find the timing marks on the zetec 1600 16valve (1998engine)I changed my timing belt but must have done something to the ohc settings. How do I make sure the setting is correct. Right now my engine runs unease.

I don't know if the 1.6l Zetec is the same, but the 2.0l Zetec-E engine doesn't have timing marks for the purpose of lining up the timing belt- there is a special bolt that you insert through the bell housing into the flywheel that keeps the crankshaft at TDC, then the two cams are lined up by inserting a piece of steel across the slots cut into the end of each cam. I paid about $25 USD for the kit.
