There are 4 camshaft sprockets that must be aligned perfectly for the engine to function properly, and if the timing is off very far the engine can be completely destroyed.

A special alignment tool is available that holds the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets in alignment while you replace the timing belt and adjust the tensioner pulleys. That's about the only way to properly align the timing sprockets, and the only way approved by the manufacturer.

Where the markings on the camshaft of a 2000 Daewoo?

On a 2000 Daewoo, the markings on the camshaft are typically found at the ends of the camshaft or on the timing belt or chain sprockets. These markings align with specific points on the engine block or timing cover to ensure proper timing during installation. It's important to refer to the service manual for exact locations and alignment specifications, as they can vary by engine type.

Will the valves be damaged when the timing chain breaks on a 2000 Saturn?

Yes.The good news is, the timing chain seldom breaks; they aren't like the timing belts. You can typically just drive the vehicle until the engine is tired, then replace the timing chain, sprockets and tensioner slides while you're rebuilding the rest of the engine.The bad news is, anything is possible and a timing chain CAN break.The "L" series uses a timing belt for the V6 engine, but the 4 cylinder Saturn engines all use timing chains.
