To align the crankshaft to the camshaft on a 1991 Mercedes, first ensure the engine is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder one. This can be done by aligning the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley with the TDC mark on the engine block. Next, use the alignment marks on the camshaft sprocket and the cylinder head to ensure the camshaft is also correctly positioned. Finally, double-check the alignment before securing the timing chain or belt to prevent any misalignment during operation.
