No. Heat it with a plumber's torch and it will slip right on.
that is the crankshaft sensor, it tells what position the crank is in to tell the computer when to fire injectors and spark.
The timing chain is located on the front of the engine behind the water pump. The top gear is the camshaft and the bottom is the crankshaft.
The crankshaft is the largest part in the bottom of the engine.The crankshaft is the largest part in the bottom of the engine.
The crankshaft gear is typically larger than the camshaft gear. This is because the crankshaft needs to convert the linear motion of the pistons into rotational motion, requiring a larger gear to effectively transfer power. In contrast, the camshaft gear is smaller as it primarily drives the camshaft, which operates the engine's valves. The size difference is essential for maintaining the correct timing and relationship between the crankshaft and camshaft.
Align the timing marks on the camshaft gears to the notches on the camshaft cover, using the intake gear mark for the intake gear and the exhaust gear mark for the exhaust gear. 38. Align the mark on the crankshaft gear with the notch at the bottom of the rear timing belt cover.
You have 2 notches on the timing gears one on the camshaft gear and one on the crankshaft gear. Align them so that the (top) camshaft gear is pointing straight down, and at the same time align the (bottom) crankshaft gear so that it is pointing straight up. The two marks should be perfectly aligned with each other. I almost forgot, make sure your # 1 piston is at "top dead center" before doing this.
there are 2 timing gears one on the cam (top) cog, and the bottom cog the bottom cog torque spec was revised in 1996 at the 17mm bolt, to 94/ft/lbs
each cam gear is marked as well as the crankshaft gear
Timing marks are on the top of the timing gear rear cover. With the cover off, these marks will line up with the timing marks on the intake and exhaust gears when the crankshaft gear timing mark faces down to its mark at the bottom. Good luck!
The top timing mark is a notch on the head. It lines up with an arrow on one of the O's cut out in the timing gear. The bottom timing mark is on the crankshaft gear and it lines up with a mark on the oil pump housing.
