Timing Component Alignment Marks

. INSPECT VALVE TIMING

(a) Check the camshaft timing marks.

NOTICE:
* Check each timing mark from a viewpoint directly inline with the center of the camshaft and the timing mark on each camshaft timing gear.
* If the timing marks are checked from any other viewpoint, the valve timing may appear misaligned.
(b) Check that each camshaft timing mark is positioned as shown in the illustration.





HINT
For the intake camshaft:

Be sure to check mark A at the point when marks B, C, and D are positioned in line. If the marks are checked from any other viewpoint, they cannot be checked correctly.





(c) If the valve timing is misaligned, reinstall the timing chain.
