What is the year make and model you are asking about. Most gear driven cams are counter rotating in relationship to the crankshaft, while most belt or chain driven engines the cam and crank rotate in the same direction. Either way, there is no real benifit to rotating together or in different directions. The result is the same.

Does the earth rotate east to get sun?

I am not sure what you are asking here, So I will try my best at guessing. Why does the earth rotate in the direction and the way it does, and all of the other planets rotate in the direction as well, and all of the planets orbit in the same direction around the star. All orbiting the same way. The milky Way Galaxy spirals again in the same circular orbit direction. I too wondered why does everything spin, rotate, orbit, in the same direction. Like a lot of science, This is only a theory, The theory I find that makes sense to me, is atoms and electrons spin in this way, If this spin conserves momentum, then our solar system, and galaxy, and all other galaxy's in the universe will spin the same. An interesting thought?

Where are the timing marks on the cam and the crank located on a Toyota Camry 4cl 2.2?

The crankshaft itself has no marks, the crankshaft pulley has one, it's white color. The same is true for the camshaft, it has no marks. But the camshaft pulley has a hole in it. That hole must alighed with the mark behind the pulley and the crankshaft should alighed with its own mark and the camshaft in the same time.
