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.





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.





NOTE: The crankshaft sprockets are identical. They can only be installed one way. Refer to the illustration for the correct crankshaft sprocket installation.





- RH camshaft sprocket timing mark is approximately at the 11 O'clock position.
- LH camshaft sprocket timing mark is approximately at the 12 o'clock position.





LH (inner) timing chain copper (marker) link aligns with the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket.





LH timing chain copper (marked) link with the timing marks on the camshaft sprocket.





RH (outer) timing chain copper (marked) link aligns with the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket.





RH timing chain copper (marked) link with the timing marks on the camshaft sprocket.





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