Hi,

This engine has a timing chain. Are you sure it is the timing, or could it be the serpentine belt?

As far as the timing chain, I attached the directions below. You will need a special tool to hold the camshafts in a specific position, but most parts stores will lend one to you.

Take a look and let me know if this is what you needed.

Take care.,

Joe
