Timing belt changing question.

Hi,
Do we have to adjuct the gears position for the timing every
time we change the timing belt? If it is DOHC, does it mean
we have to adjuct all of them?

When you change the timing belt, you have to line up the crank and both cams with specific marks. It is called "cam timing", and if it's off, the car won't run, and may bend valves.

Yes. You will need to time the motor putting everything at TDC (meaning #1 cylinder is at TDC).

You put both cam gears with the arrow pointing up on the DOHC motor, and the crank marking aligned with the line on the block. Then tension her up, and make sure it's all at TDC with the belt tensioned.
