Always clockwise.
One is on the crankshaft pulley the other is on the camshaft pulley.
The crankshaft itself has no marks, the crankshaft pulley has one, it's white color. The same is true for the camshaft, it has no marks. But the camshaft pulley has a hole in it. That hole must alighed with the mark behind the pulley and the crankshaft should alighed with its own mark and the camshaft in the same time.
On the cam pulley, and the back of the head are two marks that should be alligned 0762646447 after hours
You can set the camshaft timing on your automobile by lining up the timing marks. There will be timing marks on the front main pulley and timing marks on the camshaft.
You can find it on the crankshaft pulley and there is a hole in the camshaft pulley which must be line up with the mark on the cylinder head at TDC.
Timing marks for twin cam 1.6L B6 engine. When crank pulley is at TDC on the compression stroke, 'E' & 'I' on the camshaft pulleys should be at 12 o'clock. Too easy.
The engine timing marks are on the camshaft and crankshaft pulleys, theyll line up with a metal plate just above the top pulley, and the bottom pulley will line up with a knotch which you will find on the pulley itself and just above it.
Timing mark on the crankshaft pulley (mark should be at zero) must be aligned with the mark on the camshaft pulley (mark should be in the middle of the hole in the pulley).
the timing marks are on the crankshaft pulley and camshaft pulley.make sure they line up with the marks behind them on the relevant part of engine you are looking at.
turn in clockwise until the crank and camshaft marks line up at TDC.
In order to do this properly, you need the correct tools as well as an owner's manual and a repair manual for diagrams that show the relevant parts and their names, ignition marks and so on. The manual is also necessary in order to understand some of the terms named here. You should prepare well for this job in order to avoid mistakes which could be serious. Procedure: The engine should be cold. Use the crankshaft pulley bolt to turn the crankshaft and align the timing marks on the crankshaft timing pulley and on the oil pump body. Remove any oil or water on the crankshaft timing pulley,idler pulley and water pump pulley, and keep them clean. Align the installation mark on the timing belt with the drilled mark of the crankshaft timing pulley. Install the timing belt on the crankshaft timing pulley, also on idler and water pump pulleys. Crankshaft Position: Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the
i have replaced the timing belt, water pump, and tensioner as well as timing the engine of a 3.5 dodge quite a few times. the first time went straight by the book and almost failed to get the job done. looked all over for a puller to remove the crankshaft pulley, but totally unnecessary. the timing belt cover is in two pieces and the small bottom part of the cover is behind the crankshaft pulley, but instead of removing the crankshaft pulley all you do is rotate the crankshaft with a socket and pull handle to get to the bolts through the openings in the crankshaft pulley. as far as timing the engine, the trick i use is a pair of needle nose vise grip pliers to hold the timing belt on the proper timing mark on the camshaft pulley's. with the tensioner back all the way off the timing belt, rotate one camshaft pulley to its proper timing mark and then advance the camshaft pulley two notches forward or clockwise then use the needle nose vise grip pliers to clamp the belt to the camshaft pulley. do the other camshaft pulley the same way being sure to pull all of the slack from the timing belt between the camshaft pulleys. once you have the timing belt clamped down two notches clockwise their timing marks, then pull all the slack from the belt from the right camshaft down to the crankshaft while making sure the crankshaft pulley is aligned dead on with its timing mark. at this point all the slack in the timing belt will be located at the tensioner, use two 3" bolts on the tensioner instead of the instead of the tensioner bolts that you have remover. the longer bolts will allow you to install the tensioner without having to depress the plunger. as you tighten the bolts the tensioner will begin to put pressure on the timing belt and as it tightens it will rotate the camshaft pulleys counterclockwise and into the proper timing position by the time you have the tensioner completely tight and installed. at about half way tightening the two 3" bolts you will no be able to remove one of them and insert the regular tensioner bolt that is supposed to be there. as you tighten the tensioner you will be able to remove the second 3" bolt and insert the other tensioner bolt and complete the tightening process. watch the camshaft pulley timing marks as you tighten the tensioner and if you see the the marks are going to overshoot, back out on the tensioner and advance the camshaft pulley 3 teeth and tighten the tensioner again. this method has worked for me many times.
