The timing marks are dots on the ends of the camshaft and crankshaft. They are on the sprocket ends where the timing belt or chain connects. The dots should be pointing towards each other for proper setting. The cam dot should be pointing down and the crankshaft dot pointing up. The dots or marks can only be viewed when the timing chain cover is removed. hope this helps...
Hello Camshaft timing marks work in correspondance with the crankshaft timing marks, when setting the timing on your vehicle it is very important that the camshaft and crankshaft are set correctly, usually using pins, or locks to hold in position when fitting a new timing belt. This insures that the pistons and valves do not come in contact with each other when running and the inlet and exhaust valves open in the correct order. hope this helps. Colin.
The timing marks for a 2002 Ford Explorer are located on the timing chain and cam shaft sprocket. They must be aligned with each other to set the initial timing.
The cam gear timing marks for a Isuzu 320 V6 are located on the cam sprocket and the timing chain itself. The marks must be aligned with each other to ensure proper initial timing.
Depending on the vehicle make model etc. There should be timing marks on the gears and then again on the timing belt. You must align the marks on each. Also dependant on make model etc. you may need to look up # of teeth from center to each end and then count to make sure that you are aligning with the proper mark.
the marks have to be pointing each other in the center of the gears
Chevrolet Celebrities use timing chains, not timing belts. The two sprockets are each marked, simply align the marks with the centers of the cam and crankshaft. See a factory service manual or a Chilton or Haynes manual for a picture/drawing.
One (1) each on the cam and crank gears and on the outer timing case.
The timing marks on a 1987 2.2L Dodge Dakota are located on the timing chain and the cam sprocket. They must be perfectly aligned to prevent the pistons and valves from hitting each other.
The timing marks on a 93 Dodge Colt with a 1.5 liter engine are located on the timing chain and the cam sprocket. They must line up with each other to ensure proper initial timing.
You're talking about the the marks on the timing gears Right? Because the timing gears have little marks on them. The top gear should have the mark at the 6 o'clock point(down on the bottom), and the smaller lower gear at the 12 o'clock position(up to the top). And these two marks should be lined up with each other.
the marks are very vague and hard to see, the timing is a little more complicated than some this size. Its supposed to be 10 degrees out and the cam has an awkward hole that has to be straight up. the other timing marks on the intermittent and the crank should be facing each other, still the marks are hard to see on them so be careful and good luck. If you add chalk to where the timing marks are on the crankshaft with chalk and wipe the excess off, this will make the timing marks easier to see. The marks are recessed in the crank and the chalk will fill them up. Hope this helps you!
