Hey Joe, disregard last message. Figured that part out. Gotta grab a different tool from AutoZone for the harmonic balancer to once and for all get a look at this chain. I'll let you know what I find. Have a great weekend!

Hi,

Thanks for the update. Take your time. I'll be here. Also, closely inspect the timing gears for wear.

Joe! Check this picture out. This is how it was aligned before I took the chain off. Confused because of the timing marks. The dots vs the slits look opposite to one another. What do you think?

Hi,

Actually, the two dots should be pointing at each other. In this case, the cam gear is correct if the engine wasn't on a compression stroke. See pic below.

Was there play in the chain or anything that seemed out of the ordinary?

Let me know.

Joe

The chain definitely had play. I have a new chain but can you clarify it's not correct right? See the dot on the cam gear is at 12 o'clock and so is the crank. But on this cam gear there's a dot and a slit. Only the cam gear slit is aligned with the crankshaft sprocket dot. So is my camgear completely turned around? There's a groove thats only going to allow me to install the same exact way and the dots would both be at 12 o'clock. My understanding is the cam should be at 6 o'clock. If my camshaft is completely turned around what would that indicate?

Sure, I'll upload again. Because of the notches in the cam gear and crankshaft I would have to install the new one exactly the same way with both dots at 12 o'clock.

Sorry about that, yep, the dots are the marks you want to use. I don't know why they would have lines on there.

Yeah, the new cam doesn't have a line. So, should I rotate the camshaft then? That seems to be the only way to get the dots facing each other. Thanks for your reply!

Hi,

Yes, turn it until the dots align as seen in the pic above. Once to that point, the number 1 piston should be at TDC and if you can see the cylinder 1 valves or cam, the valves should be the furthest away from opening.

Let us know,

Joe
