  TIMING CHAIN
   NOTE: The crankshaft timing mark (3) or (5) can be in one
         of two locations depending on whether the engine
         is early production (5), late production (3) or
         assembled with service parts (3). In all cases the
         keyway (2) will always be in the 9:00 position, in line
         with the ladder frame mounting surface (1) when
         the engine is at TDC.
       1. Verify that the engine is still set to TDC.
                                                               2. Align camshaft timing marks (3) so they are facing each
          other and in line with the cylinder head cover sealing
          surface (2).
       3. Install timing chain so plated (or marked) links on chain
          align with timing marks on camshaft sprockets (1).                                                              
       4. Align timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket (3) or (5) with
          the plated (or marked) link (4) on the timing chain. Position
          chain so slack will be on the tensioner side.

             NOTE: Keep the slack in the timing chain on the
                       tensioner side.
         5. Install the timing chain tensioner (5) (Refer to 09 -
            Engine/Valve Timing/TENSIONER, Engine Timing -
            Installation) .Rotate the crankshaft CLOCKWISE two
            complete revolutions until the crankshaft is repositioned at
            the TDC position with the key way at the 9 o'clock position.
         6. Verify that the camshafts timing marks (3) are in the proper
            position and in line with the cylinder head cover sealing
            surface. If the marks do not line up, the timing chain is not
            correctly installed.
         7. Install front timing chain cover (Refer to 09 - Engine/Valve
            Timing/COVER(S) , Engine Timing - Installation) -
            INSTALLATION).
         8. Connect negative battery cable.
         9. Operate engine until it reaches normal operating
            temperature. Check oil and cooling systems for correct
            fluid levels.
      NOTE: The Cam/Crank Variation Relearn procedure must be performed using the scan tool anytime there has
            been a repair/replacement made to a powertrain system, for example: flywheel, valvetrain, camshaft
            and/or crankshaft sensors or components (Refer to 28 - DTC-Based Diagnostics/MODULE, Powertrain
            Control (PCM) - Standard Procedure).
