Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

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





Rotate the crankshaft to position the crankshaft sprocket timing mark in the 6 o'clock position.





Rotate the camshaft sprockets to position the RH camshaft sprocket timing mark in the 11 o'clock position and the LH camshaft sprocket timing mark in the 12 o'clock position.





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.





Position the lower end of the LH (inner) timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket, aligning the timing mark on the outer flange of the crankshaft sprocket with the single copper (marked) link on the chain.





NOTE: Make sure the upper half of the timing chain is below the tensioner arm dowel.

Position the LH timing chain on the camshaft sprocket. Make sure the camshaft sprocket timing mark is aligned with the copper (marked) chain link.





Position the lower end of the RH (outer) timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket, aligning the timing mark on the sprocket with the single copper (marked) chain link.





NOTE: The lower half of the timing chain must be positioned above the tensioner arm dowel.

NOTE: The camshaft phaser and sprocket will be stamped with one of the illustrated timing marks for the RH camshaft.

Position the RH timing chain on the camshaft sprocket. Make sure the camshaft sprocket timing mark is aligned with the copper (marked) chain link.





NOTE: The RH and LH camshaft phaser sprockets are similar. Refer to the single timing mark to identify the RH camshaft phaser sprocket and the L timing mark to identify the LH camshaft phaser sprocket.

As a post-check, verify correct alignment of all timing marks. Make sure the timing marks on the sprockets correspond to the above note.
