Timing Component Alignment Marks

CAUTION:Failure to verify correct timing drive component alignment will result in severe engine damage. For complete service procedure, please refer
to Timing Drive Components Removal/Installation. See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Timing Components/Timing Chain/Service and Repair

The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted
together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the
pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in
place by the service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.
