Existing timing chain did not have any marks, I looked at it under excellent lighting with a magnifying glass. New belt has one set of arrows (all placed together and point the same direction) and one yellow line, but no other marks.....

So how do I get the timing lined up. I get the parts about putting the camshaft and the crankshafts into position, but does anyone know the tooth count from the crank to the first pully?

here this thread may help you assuming you have a timing belt?...https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...s-pics-183911/

There are at least a dozen threads on this. You don't need marks on the belt; you just need to line up the crank mark & the cam sprocket marks. Check these threads, which you can find easily with the SEARCH button:

The marks are more of a distraction than anything else. Don't need them. Just make sure the timing marks on the cams line up after rotating it as per the FSM.

Usually you find you are a tooth off the first time, and nail it the third time.

It will take two people to do it right, you need the four hands.

Good luck

I have done it twice now with my two hands, but it sure would have be a lot EASIER with four~

Thanks to all who replied. Lining up the marks worked on the crankshaft pully as per the FSM along with lining up the camshaft marks worked just fine.

My belt doesn't have any marks. Does anyone have a count of the number of teeth between the marks so I can mark my belt before installation???

No marks are necessary. See post #4 above.

Ok, we got it without the marks...fortunately I am working with a professional!
