does anyone have the picture of the timing chains from the factory service manual for a 93 VE30DE motor?..i really need this picture, and any more advice on the timing would be a great help, there's so many marks, im confused as to which to use..

 

Check the maintenance stickies. The autozone repair guide should have the info you are looking for.

 

give me a day and I'll post some screen shots

 

i have it somewhere (thanks to shawn (mr gone)) but my hard drives a mess i have to sweep it up, LOL...

 

The gold link lines up with the lower gear, while the 2 silver ones line up with the top sprokets. The silver's are kinda hard to identify at first, also the marks on the sproket gears are on the face of the tooth. You may need to crank the engine more than once in order to get all the timming marks lines up for TDC compression stroke.

 

thanks for the help guys, a pic would be awesome if anyone could get it for me, i had one, but i dont think it's right..i need to get this car done,by the end of next week, so any help or advice is greatly appreciated, and i'll be glad to help you out as much as i can..thanks

 

Its really pretty simple like he said. Silver aligns with the top sprockets and gold with the bottom.

Here are some shots I got real quick.

I still say though that unfortunately if you put the chains on wrong and turned the motor over then you bent the valves. I just dont think there is much room for error with them. Good luck though I truly hope I am wrong.

 

I have a set of heads for sale if you screwed yours up. They are off the engine and ready to ship. If you need any other engine parts, let me know. I just tore apart the whole engine and there are parts boxed up and sprawled out all over my garage.

 

I wasn't lying, there really were pictures in the autozone online repair guide.
