If you lined everything up and put it back on right, you shouldn't need to.

If you want to check it, you need a timing light.

Jump the ECU connector for pulling codes.
Start the engine.
Attach the light to the spark plug wire on piston one.
Aim it down at the marker on the crank (you may want to highlight it with crayon if it's hard to see)
Pull the trigger and you should see the crank marker lining up with the timing markers on the belt cover.
If it needs to be adjusted, loosen the distributor just enough to be able to rotate it.
Adjust, tighten down, re-check.
