Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations
TIMING BELT
CAUTION: The 3.5L is NOT a freewheeling engine. Therefore, the valve train rocker assemblies must be removed before attempting to rotate
either crankshaft or camshafts independently of each other.
CAUTION: If camshafts have moved from the timing marks, always rotate camshaft towards the direction nearest to the timing marks (DO
NOT TURN CAMSHAFTS A FULL REVOLUTION OR DAMAGE to valves and/or pistons could result).
TIMING GEAR ALIGNMENT
1. Align the crankshaft sprocket (10) with the TDC mark (9) on the oil pump cover.
2. Align the camshaft sprockets (2, 7) timing reference marks (1, 8) with the marks on the rear cover.
3. Install the timing belt (4) starting at the crankshaft sprocket (10) going in a counterclockwise direction. Install the belt around the last sprocket and
maintain tension on the belt as it is positioned around the tensioner pulley (11).
