Hi,

When setting the engine timing, there are marks on the timing chain gears that align with colored links on the timing chain.

This is a big job, so take your time.

I attached the directions for removal and replacement of the timing chain below. These directions are specific to this vehicle and provide the directions for timing.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
