Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

CAUTION: Since the engine is not free-wheeling, timing procedures must be followed exactly or piston and valve damage may occur.




NOTE: Notice where the timing marks are in relation to the camshaft keyways.

Both camshaft keyways are 90 degrees from the valve cover surface.




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.

Fig. 26 Crankshaft Sprocket Position:

Make sure that the (A) copper marks on the timing chain/belt are lined up with the corresponding dots on the crankshaft sprockets and the camshaft sprocket.




Make sure that the (A) camshaft sprocket keyway is 90 degrees from the (B) valve cover mounting surface.
