Answer
Becky,

On a 2002 2.5 liter Altima you should not have to adjust the timing as it is set at the factory.  If you are talking about static timing there is a pointer on the balancer that should be set to zero and then the inspection cover can be accessed at the top of the timing cover to make sure that the engine has not jumped timing.  Being a 2002 it is not going to have jumped timing and being so young it should be good for atleast five years.  The timing that the factory recommends is printed on a label under the hood.
