SOURCE: timing belt diagram 1997 kia sportage 4x4

My scanner isnt working, so i hope this can help you out some...On the left Camshaft..you will a stamp I and E...iI is for intake and E is for exhaust..The I should be up at 12 o'clock and the E should be at 4..you will also have marks on the timing plate behind the camshafts to help you line it up right...Now on the Right Camshaft you will have the same marks, but this time you want the E at 12 and the I at 7 o'clock..And the crankshaft should have a little notch on it, where you can line that up at 12 o'clock with the notch imprint that is on the plate for you..You may have to clean those areas, and use a light, so you can see them..I hope this helps you out..Goodluck...

Water in cylander heads,no visible cracks and no water in oil

for water to get into all cylinder heads the head bolt tension is not as it should be. This comes from mainly 2 items . one is that the head is warped and is not tightening evenly and two the head stud holes are full of water and a hydraulic lock has formed before bolt tension was sufficient to hold the head down. If there is any water /oil or rust /gunk in the holes then the studs bottom out before attaining the proper head tension. Cracks can be under the exhaust valves
