Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

CAUTION: Since the engine is not free-wheeling, if the crankshaft or the camshafts are moved in any manner during removal and installation the crankshaft and camshaft must be resynchronized.

CAUTION: Timing chain procedures must be followed exactly or damage to valves and pistons will result.





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





Crankshaft sprocket and lower end of the LH (inner) timing chain, aligning the timing marks.





Timing chain on the camshaft sprocket with the two chain links and timing marks aligned.





NOTE: Be sure the chain link and crankshaft sprocket timing marks are aligned.

- RH (outer) timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket.
- Make sure the two copper-colored links align with the camshaft sprocket timing mark.





Correct alignment of all timing marks.
