1999 kia sephia need to set cams right for timing Sign In

 99 kia sophia with a 1.8 L 4cly. I need to know witch cam gets set on the intake stroke before i put the timing belt back on or if it even matters. I got the #1 cylinder at top dead center and the cam closest to the firewall is 1/4 inch from its intake stroke and the front cam is the same from the exaust stroke but i dont know if the moved when the timing belts teeth got stripped off.

Of course it moved. It also could have done major internal engine damage when it happened too.
That is an interference engine so it usually bends the valves when the belt jumps.

Here are the timing marks. You won't know if the engine is damaged until the belt is replaced.

PS, I have deleted your other question. Please don't post duplicates.

If you have a problem after putting the belt on, then do a compression test to determine if you have any valve damage.
