thats not true. with the proper scan tool you can make minor adjustments, like when ones done a tune up.

I believe they're asking how to set the timing marks when replacing the timing chain/gears. And I also think the 2002 is a 2.2 Ecotec not a 2.4 Quad.

To set this you just need to align the marks on the gears, best to do this before removing them. That way you just put the new set on and shazam youre done.
I'll see if I can find the exact info ...
