Best thing you can do is get repair manual which could be found at library or bought at parts store. Make sure you understand directions!
On front or facing surface of cams. There are two marks or grooves on each. If lined up properly (with crank pulley notch at TDC) they would be at a 3 and 9 o'clock position.
would like a picture
If memory serves me correctly, the timing marks will be behind the timing belt cover. There will be marks on the gears and also marks on the block. Line the top gear with the top mark and the bottom gear with the bottom mark. Please note that you will need to undo the battery for a few minutes and then reconnect. This allows the computer to reset itself. Hope this helps
TIMING MARKS - '91 EXCELI would very much appreciate an answer to the following question: How do I line up the timing marks to a 1991 Hyundai Excel (so that I know I've correctly set/repaired the vehicle)?Because the marks to be aligned are beneath the level of the fender, you need to use a mirror to ensure that the timing marks are properly aligned.But where do the timing marks have to be lined up with please???
the timing marks are not on crankgear on cam gear Chevy Lumina 3.1 1995 would it be keyway to keyway
On a 1987 2.8L S10, the timing marks align on the harmonic balancer and the timing cover. You should look for a notch or mark on the harmonic balancer and align it with the appropriate timing degree mark on the timing cover. Typically, for proper ignition timing, you would align the marks at around 0 degrees BTDC, but always refer to the specific service manual for precise settings.
I could be wrong, but I have a Vortec 350 in a GMC truck and I think the computer handles the ignition timing. If your talking about valve timing I would assume there are marks on the timing gears like the days of old, but I haven't torn the timing cover off of mine yet.
On a Chrysler 318 engine, the timing marks are typically located on the harmonic balancer and the timing cover. The harmonic balancer has a notch or a mark that indicates the timing degree, while the timing cover has a corresponding mark to align with it. To set or check the timing, you would align these marks at the desired timing specification, usually at the top dead center (TDC) for cylinder number one. Always consult the specific service manual for the year and model for precise timing information.
On a Volvo 122S, the timing marks are located on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover. The crankshaft pulley typically has a notch or line that aligns with a mark on the timing cover to indicate the correct timing position. To set or check the timing, you would align these marks while the engine is at the appropriate timing position, usually at top dead center (TDC) for cylinder one. Always refer to the specific service manual for detailed instructions and specifications.
You may have lined up the timing marks, but I have had some cars that if you don't have the slack on the correct side of the tensioner pully, when you tighten the belt it causes the camshaft to move about 1 tooth off making it out of time. Check the timing marks again.
Honda recommends it -- But I would not have it done for at least double ot even triple the mileage they recommend.
Read the instructions that come with the new timing chain and gears. Generally, you would install the gears so that when the engine is #1 TDC the timing mark on the big gear is straight down and the timing mark on the smaller gear is straight up. There is an exception in that some model years have both timing marks in the 12 o'clock position.
