Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

^ Install the balance shaft drive chain with the colored links lined up on with the marks on the balance shaft drive sprockets and the crankshaft sprocket. Use the following procedure to line up the links with the sprockets: Orient the chain so that the copper colored and chrome links are visible.
1 Place the uniquely colored link (1) so that it lines up with the timing mark on the intake side balance shaft sprocket.
2 Working clockwise around the chain, place the first matching colored link (2) in line with the timing mark on the crankshaft drive sprocket. (approximately 5 o'clock position on the crank sprocket).
3 Place the chain (3) on the water pump drive sprocket (alignment is not critical).
4 Align the last matching colored link (4) with the timing mark on the exhaust side balance shaft drive sprocket.





^ Install the crankshaft sprocket with timing mark at the 5 o'clock position.





^ Lower the timing chain through the opening in the top of the cylinder head. Carefully ensure that the chain goes around both sides of the cylinder block bosses (1, 2).





^ Install the intake camshaft sprocket with the INT diamond at the 2 o'clock position.

^ Important: Always install NEW sprocket bolts.

Hand tighten a NEW intake camshaft sprocket bolt.
^ Route the timing chain around the crankshaft sprocket with the matching colored link aligning with the timing mark.
^ Route the timing chain around the intake camshaft sprocket with the uniquely colored link (1) aligning with the INT diamond.





^ Install the exhaust camshaft sprocket with the timing chain matching colored link (3) at EXH triangle aligned at the 10 o'clock position.
