i just bought a 88 model 929 v6 and the timing is out. can anyone tell me where the timing marks on the cams should be when at top dead centre?

 

the mark on the pass side cam pulley should point at the 9 o clock position with a "v" notch on cover. the driver side cam pulley should point at the 3 o clock position with a "v" notch on the cover. all this while the crank pulley is pointed at 12 o clock position, TDC. hope this helps.

 

Will copy the post made for a MPV in the forum help section as yours is the same exact engine and alignment marks.

See if this helps. No, the year did not matter. Alignment marks have been the same on the JE engine from 89 to 98. Were the camshaft pulleys removed? The marks do not show very well on the picture so will explain as best I can. On the edge of the black resin cam pulleys you will see a small round 'hole' about the size of a pencil lead. Line this up with the raised arrow cast into the aluminum of the cylinder head. The crank pulley was a half round cutout that should point straight up (12:00 position)and will align with a raised part on the front of the oil pump. Hope this will help a little better.
