there should be a dot or line cut in each gear. the cam gear mark should be at the six o'clock position (all the way down) and the crank mark at the 12 o'clock(all the way up). line them up and you should have it made. spin the crank just to be sure the marks mesh correctly
little cyrcle on cam gear, and a little cyrcle on crank gear. Cam cyrcle should be down and crank cyrcle should be up. They should line straight up and down?
There are two timing marks on a 350 chev one for the cam shaft gear and one for the crank gear. The timing mark on the crank or the on on the bottom of the motor should be facing straight up and the cam shaft gear should be facing straight down this will put you lined up and top dead center.
The timing marks for the cam sprocket on a 98 S10 is on the front. The marks for the crank shaft is on the oil pump gear.
on the cam gear the mark should be at 6:00 or in other words the mark will be at the bottom of the gear when installed, on the crank gear the mark should be at 12:00 or at the top of the gear when installed, both marks will line up with each other.
The crank gear dot is at 12 oclock when #1 piston is at TDC, Top dead center. Cam gear dot is at 6 oclock. Both dots should be in a stright line over top of each other.
Put the crank shaft at TDC. There is a dot on one of the crank gear teeth. It should be pointing toward the cam gear. Put the cam gear on without the chain. Turn the cam until the hole in the cam gear is pointing toward the crank. In other words, the hole in the cam gear and the dot on the crank gear should be in line. Then simply remove cam gear and apply the chain. The computer does the fine timing. Nothing to adjust.
Crank gear dot should point stright up / 12o clock with #1 pistion at TDC.all the way up at the top of #1 cylinder.The cam gear dot should point stright down At 6o clock. That will make both dots stright over top of each other. Then the crank and cam will be in time.
NO... The crank gear is at 12oclock with #1 piston at TDC Top dead center means The piston is all the way up in the cylinder on the compression stroke. The cam gear dot should be at 6oclock in a stright line over top of the crank gear dot. STRIGHT OVER TOP OF EACH OTHER.
Get a new timing set (crank gear, cam gear, chain) Install crank gear and turn crank so mark on gear is straight up. Loosely install cam gear, turn so mark on gear is straight down. Remove distributor cap, verify rotor is pointing at #1 plug wire. #1 is drivers side front cylinder. If rotor is 180 degrees out (pointing at #6 wire rather than #1) turn crank one full turn clockwise to bring rotor to #1. Marks on both gears should now be directly adjacent to each other, Crank mark up, cam mark down. Gently remove cam gear so as not to rotate cam. Install chain around crank and cam gear, being sure to maintain mark orientation. Bolt cam gear back in place. Check alignment of timing marks, if they are not right remove cam gear and try again. Torque to spec. Your engine is now at TDC #1 on compression stroke. Should fire right up.
on the balencer there is a timing mark and om the motor theres a tab there is also a mark on the cam gear, when lined up, both marks on the crank gear and cam gear point up.
one is on the cam gear and the other is on the crank timing belt gear. spark timing is on the crank to the rear of the engine
For the crank shaft, there is a mark on the oil pump gear which should be straight up, same as the key way if you want to go by that. On the cam the pulley has a mark that should be pointing straight up toward the "V" in the cover behind the pulley. Hope this helps.
