Camshaft timing marks

It should look like the pic i'm sending. Also when doing this always turn by crankshaft. Also crankshaft must be aligned wit timing mark BEFORE turning cams over to insure no piston/valve damage. My research and experience says use the dots.

See below

If you have no compression yes, they are bent.

Dont need to line it up now, the heads have to come off for repair

It takes 720degs to complete the engine 4 strokes in each cylinder. Also use the dots on the cam gears not the triangles. The double plated links straddle the dot on the left cam gear and the other single plated link goes above the dot on the right cam gear. (Drivers view) Did you put the engine no.1 piston on its compression stroke before you align the cam and crank.

If you're getting the correct fuel pressure and fuel is being delivered into the cylinders and with proper ignition spark-it points back to valve and ignition timing problem.-Have you inspected the T/timing belt?

Think about this logically. If it really took 60 revolutions for the timing marks to line up again, the cylinder would only produce a power pulse once every 60 revolutions. That would be really fantastic as far as fuel mileage is concerned, but you'd be pushing the car by hand.

Did you notice that the camshaft sprockets are not 60 times bigger than the crankshaft sprocket? In fact, the cam sprockets have exactly twice as many teeth as the crank sprocket. Reread what rasmataz said about 720 degrees. That's two revolutions of the crankshaft. Your timing marks will line up after every two revolutions of the crankshaft.

Did you use the special spacer when you installed the crankshaft position sensor? The air gap is critical. Without the spacer, it is possible on some engines to push the sensor in too far. It will hit the spinning flex plate and be destroyed. Instant no-start.

Ouch. That hurts the attitude.

One thing is you can't take the tensioner out and put it back in without the chain moving a tooth on the crank, you have to pull the right side valve cover and hold tension on the tensioner guide, the next thing you will have to look at is how far out the tensioner is, this one was too far to hold tension while cranking(the chain was stretched) so after replacing all the intake valves and chain and I found a good way to set the tensioner, follow the installation but make sure you are collapsing the tensioner then releasing it partily out while submerged in a little container of oil so the oil would be pulled in the little hole in the nose of the tensioner. Otherwise during startup the chain could jump.

Ain't you special...
