The cam sprocket has an "E" adjacent to the timing mark which lines up at 12 o'clock with the V mark on the camshaft seal cover. There is a notch mark on the lower timing belt sprocket that aligns with the mark on the engine front cover at 12 o'clock. These must be set on the proper stroke of the engine as well. Recommend the purchase of a Haynes Repair Manual for your Tracker (1986-2001). It's a fairly complicated 27 step procedure and must be done exactly right. I'm doing that very task on my 97' Tracker right now (it's cold!). Much good advice to keep you from ruining the engine. You can get the manual at your local car parts store - not too expensive <$20, well worth it. Good Luck

What do the timing gear marks mean on a Chevy 250 engine?
the mark on the camshaft timing gear needs to line up with the mark on the crankshaft timing gear to ensure the camshaft is in proper time with the crankshaft. Keep in mind that the marks will only line-up every other revolution of the engine due to the crankshaft spinning twice as fast as the camshaft.

How VVTI works?
It is a variable valve timing innovations from toyota, where in power and fuel efficiency can be optimized by varying the timing of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft of an engine,by retarding or advancing the camshaft by a certain phase angles.A conventional engine has it's camshaft rotate half the crankshaft rotation and the performance of a such engine would be in it's peak efficiency for a single speed only.Engineers developed a technology to overcome this in-efficiencies by introducing variable valve timing where camshaft rotation can advance or retard with respect to the crankshaft,hence optimising performance and fuel efficiency.
What is the timing chain?
In a four-stroke overhead-cam engine, the timing chain connects the crankshaft to the camshaft. The camshaft opens and closes the valves in the cylinders and turns at half the speed of the crankshaft. Many engines now have a cog-belt instead of a chain.

How do you Change Timing gears on a Chevy 2.5 Iron Duke?
Does the 1991 2.5 s10 have a timing chain or a belt or just mesh gears and how do you replace them The camshaft is gear driven off the crankshaft. The camshaft gear is pressed onto the camshaft. The camshaft must be removed from the engine to change the camshaft timing gear. The timing gears should last the life of the engine. Next time, please don't answer your question with another question.
Is there a difference between timing belt and fan belt?
Yes , the fan belt drives the engine accessories , the timing belt is used to keep the engine crankshaft and pistons " in time " with the camshaft and valves

The mark on the camshaft should be aligned with the mark on the crankshaft.
Is there a difference between a camshaft and a cambelt?
The cambelt connects the camshaft to the crankshaft, the belt drives the camshaft and keeps it in the correct timing (when the valves open/close in relation to the crankshaft angle.)
How do you sync timing belt Rocky 1990?
A person can sync the timing belt on a 1990 Rocky SUV by aligning the timing marks. These can be found on both the camshaft sprocket and the crankshaft sprocket of the engine.
