Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations




Timing Component Alignment Marks





























- Water pump (G).
- Install primary timing chain so the mating mark punched (B) on camshaft sprocket is aligned with the blue link (A) on the timing chain, while the mating mark notched (E) on the crankshaft sprocket (D) is aligned with the copper link (F) on the timing chain, as shown.
- When it is difficult to align mating marks (A) with (B) and (E) with (F) of the primary timing chain with each sprocket, gradually turn the camshaft to align it with the mating marks.
- During alignment, be careful to prevent dislocation of mating mark alignments of the secondary timing chains.
