Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

- Verify that the crankshaft sprocket keyway is at the 9 o'clock position.




- Align camshaft timing marks (3) so they are parallel to the cylinder head and aligned each other as shown.




- Install timing chain guide (4) and tighten bolts to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.).




- Install timing chain so plated links on chain align with timing marks on camshaft sprockets (1).




- Align timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket (2) with the plated link (3) on the timing chain. Position chain so slack will be on the tensioner side.




- Rotate the crankshaft CLOCKWISE two complete revolutions until the crankshaft is repositioned at the TDC position with the key way at the 9 o'clock position.




- Verify that the camshafts timing marks (3) are in the proper position.
