Timing Chain Markings

[Davie]

The marks are only for when fitting the chain. Once the engine has been rotated then you'll nearly never get them lined up correctly again with the colours on the chain.

You should have 20 rollers between the two cam sprocket marks, 56 rollers from the intake cam mark to the crank mark and 48 rollers from exhaust sprocket to crank mark.

Its actually really easy. If you clean down your chain you will see 2 silver links and one black one. The two silver ones line up with the two cam sprocket marks and the black one with the crank sprocket mark.

Have you got a workshop manual? you'll need to know how to set the cam angle sensor too.
