Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

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

If the copper links are not visible, mark 2 links on one end and 1 link on the other end, and use as timing marks.





Install the crankshaft sprocket, making sure the flange faces forward.





Position the lower end of the LH (inner) timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket, aligning the timing mark on the outer flange of the crankshaft sprocket with the single copper (marked) link on the chain.





NOTE: Make sure the upper half of the timing chain is below the tensioner arm dowel.

Position the timing chain on the camshaft phaser and sprocket with the timing mark positioned between the 2 copper (marked) chain links.





Position the lower end of the RH (outer) timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket, aligning the timing mark on the sprocket with the single copper (marked) chain link.





NOTE: The lower half of the timing chain must be positioned above the tensioner arm dowel.

NOTE: The camshaft phaser and sprocket will be stamped with one of the illustrated timing marks for the RH camshaft.

Position the RH timing chain on the camshaft phaser and sprocket. Make sure the timing mark is positioned between the 2 copper (marked) chain links.





As a post-check, verify correct alignment of all timing marks.
