Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

Rotate the engine until the timing mark (2) on the crankshaft damper aligns with the TDC mark on timing chain cover (2) (#1 cylinder exhaust stroke).






Verify the camshaft sprocket "V8" marks are at the 12 o'clock position (1,2).











Install both secondary chains onto the idler sprocket. Align two plated links on the secondary chains to be visible through the two lower openings on the idler sprocket (4 o'clock and 8 o'clock). Once the secondary timing chains are installed, position special tool (6) to hold chains in place for installation.

Align primary chain double plated links with the timing mark at 12 o'clock (1) on the idler sprocket. Align the primary chain single plated link with the timing mark at 6 o'clock on the crankshaft sprocket (3).

Verify that all plated links are aligned with the marks on all sprockets and the "V8" marks on camshaft sprockets are at the 12 o'clock position.


Rotate engine two full revolutions. Verify timing marks are at the follow locations:
- primary chain idler sprocket dot is at 12 o'clock
- primary chain crankshaft sprocket dot is at 6 o'clock
- secondary chain camshaft sprockets "V8" marks are at 12 o'clock
