Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations





^ Turn the crankshaft clockwise so that the crankshaft keyway is in the 11 o'clock position. (This will position the No.1 cylinder at TDC.)

Note
^ Verify that there are timing marks in three locations (Yellow 1, Black 2) on the timing chain. If any timing marks are missing, mark the timing chain.
^ When marking the crankshaft sprocket side timing chain, change the mark color.
^ When the timing chain is replaced with a new one, mark the new timing chain at the same positions as the removed timing chain.





^ Mark the timing chain at the position of each timing sprocket timing mark.
