Position the camshaft with the 2 timing marks pointing up.





Verify the timing marks are properly aligned.





NOTE: The crankshaft gear contains a single timing mark. The camshaft contains a single timing mark. The high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear contains a double timing mark. The engine is timed correctly when the single mark on the crankshaft drive gear is aligned with the double mark on the camshaft gear, and the single mark on the camshaft drive gear is aligned with the double mark on the high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear. Additionally, the keyway on the high-pressure fuel injection pump drive gear must be at 12 o'clock position.
