Specifically:
* Harmonic Balancer: Look for a notch or a pointer (sometimes a small arrow) on the outer edge of the harmonic balancer.
* Timing Chain Cover: There will be markings on the timing chain cover that correspond to the crankshaft position. These markings usually indicate Top Dead Center (TDC) for cylinder #1, and might be accompanied by other markings that align with specific camshaft positions. The exact location and appearance of these markings can vary slightly depending on the year of your van.
Important Note: Finding and accurately aligning these marks requires careful observation and often a timing light or a dial indicator for precise TDC confirmation. Improper timing can severely damage your engine. If you're not experienced with this procedure, it's highly recommended you consult a repair manual specific to your van's year and engine or seek the help of a qualified mechanic.
