2. Camshaft timing verification procedure with engine assembled (front cover on):
a. Remove cam cover.
b. Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the mark on the damper pulley aligns with the pip mark on the front cover.
c. Camshaft timing can be verified with the front cover installed and just the cam cover removed. Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the mark on
the crankshaft damper/pulley aligns with the pip mark on the front cover. The camshaft sprocket timing pin holes will align with the timing
holes in the cylinder head. Insert 4.77 mm (3/16 in.) drills through the camshaft gears into the cylinder heads. If the timing pins cannot be
installed, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees clockwise. If the pins cannot be inserted and rotating the crankshaft and camshafts slightly (one or
two degrees maximum) will not allow pins to be installed, the camshafts are not timed.
IMPORTANT: It may be necessary to remove the right-hand road wheel and splash shield to observe timing marks on front cover and crankshaft
vibration damper/pulley.
