So, I changed both head cylinders on my 2001 dodge strarus SE v6 2.7. But I couldn't get it started because of the chain that goes through both head cylinders. I think I moved the timing on the motor. Any advice you can give me about the Timing on the motor that will help me get it started?

Hello,

In order to get the timing mark right, you will have to remove the timing chain and adjust.
After you remove the chain you will have to adjust the cam and crank shaft timing marks (see diagram).
Pay close attention to the crankshaft sprocket depth while installing.

I have attached the diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
