It has a chain
The timing mark on the top gear should be at 06:00, while the timing mark on the bottom gear should be at 12:00. IOW, they "point to each other" Good luck!
Crankshaft at 12:00 Camshaft at 6:00 You can also purchase a Haynes manual from any loval Auto Zone and it has everything you need to know about your Jeep!
A 2000 Skoda Felicia 1.3 mpi has a timing chain. Not a timing belt. A timing chain. So buying a used felicia and not replacing it is not actually risky, as with a car with a timing belt. The chain of course will also develope 'slack', so it is a good idea to change it after so many klms, and/or if it as gotten too noisy. The possibility of the chain breaking is very very very slim. It WILL develope some slack though, and might jump a tooth, worsening performance and fuel economy. Parts are cheap for the felicia.
If you are refering to the timing chain teeth, you want the lower and smaller crank gear to have its punch mark aligned at 12:00. The Keyway on the crankshaft should be at aprox the 2:00 position when the punch mark is at 12:00. The upper cam sprocket punch mark needs to be aligned at the 6:00 position. Doing this will put both punch marks at the closest point to each other. Use a ruler or a good eye to make sure they are in line. Do this with the chain set aside to get everything in line before you add the chain. Then remove the cam sprocket to add the chain. But be carefull not to move the cam as you reinstall the sprocket and chain.
There are 7 bolts going into the water pump, 4 long and 3 short. The short bolts will go into the 12:00, 5:00, and 7:00 O'clock positions. Look for those 3 (short bolt) positions to have the timing chain cover threaded. The timing chain cover for the 4 long bolts will be smooth. Glad I could help.
RAV4.1's (98-00') all had timing BELTS. Timing chains werent used on many of the Toyota S-Series motors (sadly.). hope that helps. http://www.rav4world.com
On the motor
A close examinination of the images on this web sitehttp://www.sae.org/automag/techbriefs_07-00/05.htmwould indicate that it does not.It has a timing chain. recommended change 90,000 miles.
Dot goes to dot. Bottom gear dot stright up at 12:00 oclock. Top gear dot stright down at 6:00 oclock.
the cam should be at 6:00 and the crank at 12:00
8:00
With #1 at TDC, and the mark on the balancer aligned with 0 on the timing tab, the dot on the cam sprocket would be at 6:00, and the crank sprocket would be 12:00. However, this comes with a caveat: I did run into a 350 Chevy once that had both the dots at 12:00 when the engine was at #1TDC. Never did figure out why. So, if you've got it set at 6 and 12, and you're adjustments aren't working out right; reset the timing chain so that it is on 12 and 12, and try again. I think it was one of those 77 and up engines with the timing tab on top instead of at 3:00.
