Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

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

Marked Links:

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




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

Installing Timing Chains:

- Install the LH (inner) timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket, aligning the copper link with the dot on the crankshaft sprocket.
- Install the LH (inner) timing chain on the camshaft sprocket, aligning the copper link with the dot on the camshaft sprocket.
- Install the RH (outer) timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket, aligning the copper link with the dot on the crankshaft sprocket.
- Install the RH (outer) timing chain on the camshaft sprocket, aligning the copper link with the dot on the camshaft sprocket.

Aligning Chain Marks:

Make sure that the copper (marked) chain links are lined up with the dots on the crankshaft sprocket and the camshaft sprockets.
