The camshaft sprockets on the 2.0L DOHC engines built Aug. 1, 1994 through Oct. 31, 1994 may have two timing marks on the 2.0L side of each

It is essential that the correct timing mark is used when setting the cam timing. If the wrong timing mark is used, the valves may come into contact with
the pistons resulting engine damage.
