Need to know where are the timing are and the timing belt diagrams. Also how to make sure the silence shaft is in time?

Hi,

Based on the engine size, I suspect you are working on a Ram 50. If you look below, I attached a picture and highlighted the timing marks and where they align. That is the target.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe these were interference engines, so before you try starting it, gently turn the crankshaft several revolutions to make sure nothing internal is making contact. If when turning it, if it stops turning, don't force it. Recheck the timing.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Joe
