I keep it simple by setting the engine to TDC and then using a paint pen to put a dot on the timing belt to show where the cam gears are straight up. It's pretty hard to mess this up if you just take a little time and double/triple check everything.

Any auto parts supplier should have assembly lube. Be sure to apply liberally
