Crankshaft Pulley
The crankshaft pulley is located at the front of the engine, and it has a single mark on it. The mark is a small notch, and it is located at the top of the pulley.
Camshaft Pulleys
The camshaft pulleys are located at the top of the engine, and they each have a single mark on them. The marks are small dots, and they are located on the side of the pulleys.
Timing Belt Cover
The timing belt cover is located at the front of the engine, and it has two marks on it. The marks are small arrows, and they are located on the side of the cover.
Aligning the Timing Marks
When you are replacing the timing belt, it is important to align the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley, the camshaft pulleys, and the timing belt cover. This will ensure that the engine is timed correctly.
To align the timing marks, you will need to use a timing light. A timing light is a tool that emits a bright flash of light that can be used to illuminate the timing marks.
How to Use a Timing Light
1. Connect the timing light to the battery.
2. Start the engine.
3. Point the timing light at the crankshaft pulley.
4. Adjust the timing light so that the flash of light illuminates the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the camshaft pulleys.
6. If you are going to replace the timing belt, do so now.
7. When finished installing the timing belt, align the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley, the camshaft pulleys, and the timing belt cover.
