Windsor Engine

CAUTION: Unless otherwise instructed, at no time when the timing chains are removed and the cylinder heads are installed is the crankshaft or camshaft to be rotated. Severe piston and valve damage will occur.

Position the crankshaft with the keyway at the 12 o'clock position.




If the copper links are not visible, mark two links on one end and one link on the other end, and use as timing marks.




- LH camshaft timing mark is approximately at 12 o'clock.
- RH camshaft timing mark is approximately at 11 o'clock.

Fig. 26 Crankshaft Sprocket Position:

NOTE: Crankshaft sprockets are identical. They may only be installed one way. Refer to the illustration for correct crankshaft sprocket installation.




Install the LH timing chain onto the crankshaft sprocket, aligning the one copper link on the timing chain with the slot on the crankshaft sprocket.




Position the timing chain on the camshaft sprocket with the two copper chain links and the camshaft sprocket timing mark aligned.




- NOTE: Be sure the copper chain link and crankshaft sprocket timing mark are aligned.

- Position the outer camshaft sprocket and the RH timing chain with the long hub of the sprocket facing inward.
- Position the RH timing chain on the camshaft sprocket. Make sure the two copper-colored links align with the camshaft sprocket timing mark.




Verify correct alignment of all timing marks.
