Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

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.




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 with the Camshaft timing mark is approximately at 12 o'clock.
- RH camshaft with the Camshaft timing mark is approximately at 11 o'clock.




Position the crankshaft sprocket and lower end of the LH (inner) timing chain, aligning the timing marks. Long hub on sprocket should face forward.




Position the LH 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.

Fig. 26 Crankshaft Sprocket Position:

Position the RH (outer) timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket. Long hub on sprocket should face 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.
