You need a set of alignment tools.

 

Thanks man. Unfortunately, I already have all that in the alldata diy page.
​​​​​​ I need the cam gear positioning and the proper can position as well. I can find anything on timing marks. So I don't even know where the cam gears are supposed to be.

 

My problem has been there is no reference point like a crank pulley key or anything

 

Is there anyone else who knows? I'm worried I'm not going to be able to help my friend out and can't get any answers on cam gear positioning

 

You align the crank shaft using the pin, and align the camshafts using the plate. I'm not sure what more info you want or need?

 

I needed correct cam gear positioning because I had to remove them. I also needed proper can positioning, such as where the lobes on the cams should be pointing. I had to rebuild the whole engine and not just replace the timing chain, so the marks I made got washed off. Sorry man. Not trying to sound unappreciative, I am very thankful, but that's where I have been stuck

 

Or maybe I should reword it. The proper vvt position of the intake cam gear and the exhaust cam gear. Eh, well, I tried to help my friend. Thanks for the help grim reaper. I appreciate it but I don't want to annoy you or the rest of the forum. I am stumped and I don't want to ruin my friends engine, so sadly, I am going to have to throw in the towel.

 

The alignment plate that slots into the end of the camshafts can only fit 1 way ie the cams will be pre set at TDC apon fittment.

Obviously you wouldn't fit the camshafts until you're locked the crankshaft using the pin first. This sets the crank & #1 piston at TDC.

I will try & find a diagram for cam pulleys.

 

So does this look right?

 

Workshop manual doesn't mention cam gear alignment. I thought they had alignment pins?
