1. Locate the Timing Tab: The timing tab is a small metal plate attached to the engine block near the crankshaft pulley. It has a series of刻度线marks used for aligning the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft.
2. Remove the Distributor Cap: Take off the distributor cap to access the distributor rotor and the timing mark on the camshaft.
3. Align the Crankshaft: Use a wrench to slowly turn the crankshaft pulley until the '0' mark on the harmonic balancer (located at the front of the engine) aligns with the '0' mark on the timing tab.
4. Check the Camshaft Timing Mark: With the crankshaft at TDC, look at the camshaft through the distributor hole. You should see a timing mark on the camshaft gear.
5. Align the Camshaft Timing Mark: The timing mark on the camshaft should be aligned with the '0' mark on the timing tab. If the marks are not aligned, you will need to adjust the position of the camshaft gear.
6. Adjust the Camshaft Timing (if necessary): To adjust the timing, loosen the camshaft gear bolt and turn the camshaft gear until the timing marks align. Use a torque wrench to tighten the camshaft gear bolt to the specified torque.
7. Reinstall the Distributor Cap: Once the camshaft timing is correct, reinstall the distributor cap.
8. Start the Engine: Start the engine and check for proper operation. If everything is correctly aligned, the engine should run smoothly and without any unusual noises or vibrations.
