I've never done 6cylinder timing before so this is a new venture for me. I read the directions in the fsm, but I'd like to get human confirmation that I got this right before I stick it back in the car tomorrow. Here are the pics. Assume I am at TDC. Thanks!

 

It's spot-on perfect.

 

thats great, would you mind if I used it for my writeup? I dont have any pics of the timing marks up close.

 

You got it, have fun putting the case back together.

 

No, go for it, figure it should help somebody.

No kidding, my favorite part Actually I already sealed it up tonight, but I wanted to double check the timing before I put it in.

 

Excuse me for not knowing more about this subject, but is all that you have to do is line up the marks/arrows with the different color link in the timing chain?

yea...all the sprockets are keyed so u might have to rotate the cams of crank to get stuff to line up...but u gotta be carefull...dont want valves hitting pistions

 

I'd say the most annoying part of setting it up is the cams like to spin because of the springs. 3 or 4 times they would suddenly move and I would have to reset them.

For as nerve racking as the process seems, setting the chains is actually quite easy to set up with the marks given.

 

Spot on!

I actually didnt notice that arrow on my sprockets when taking it all apart. Good to see it all upclose.
