Re: How to adjust the timing .
Basically the timing is non adjustable. What is your intentions? Are you just trying to get it to run correctly, or are you trying to get some performance gain by modifying it?
The timing is set by having the belts correctly installed. And is slightly advanced by the advance mechanism, assuming that is functioning properly. What are your symptom of incorrect timing?

Re: How to adjust the timing .
So, you are asking about the cam timing not the ignition timing.....?
He took the belt off after he lined up the timing mark (T1) on the flywheel, right? If so that’s good.... otherwise not. Does he have a service manual?
There are many many posts on this site regarding the timing belts. Search on “timing belts”. One of them is mine from 2016. Lots of pix.
Be sure to ask more Q’s if needed..
