Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

Timing Component Alignment Marks





NOTE:
The figure shows the relationship between the matching mark on each timing chain and that on the corresponding sprocket, with the components installed.






a. Install crankshaft sprocket (1).
- Check the matching marks on crankshaft sprocket face the front of the engine.
b. Install timing chain (primary).
- Install timing chain (primary) so the matching mark (punched) (B) on camshaft sprocket (INT) (1) is aligned with the yellow link (A) on timing chain, while the matching mark (notched) (C) on crankshaft sprocket (2) is aligned with the orange link (D) one on timing chain, as shown in the figure.
- When it is difficult to align matching marks of timing chain (primary) with each sprocket, gradually turn camshaft using wrench on the hexagonal portion to align it with the matching marks.
- During alignment, be careful to prevent dislocation of matching mark alignments of timing chains (secondary).
