Hello,

I have just included in the diagrams down below a factory guide on the installation of the timing chains. This will include how to line up the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets, and how to properly set the camshaft phasers. If you should have any other vehicle related questions, please feel free to ask. That is why we are here.

Thanks,
Alex
