Dodge Intrepid 2000 V6 2.7 Timing Marks

Dodge Intrepid Timing marks alignment


Place left side primary chain sprocket onto the chain so that the timing mark is located in-between the two (plated) timing links


Loosely position left side camshaft sprocket over camshaft hub.
Align timing (plated) link to the crankshaft sprocket timing mark


To reset the primary timing chain tensioner, engine oil will first need to be purged from the tensioner


CAUTION: Ensure the tensioner is properly reset. The tensioner body must bottom against the top edge of Special Tool 8186. Failure to properly perform the resetting procedure may cause tensioner jamming.


Install the reset chain tensioner into the right cylinder head.
Position tensioner retaining plate and tighten bolts to 12 N·m (105 in. lbs.)
Starting at the right cylinder bank, insert a 3/8" square drive extension with a breaker bar into intake camshaft drive hub. Rotate camshaft until the camshaft hub aligns to the camshaft sprocket and damper attaching holes. Install the sprocket attaching bolts and tighten to 28 N·m (250 in. lbs.) 

See the timing marks diagram shown below:------

2 - CRANKSHAFT TIMING MARKS

Turn the left side camshaft by inserting a 3/8" square drive extension with a breaker bar into intake camshaft drive hub and rotate camshaft until the sprocket attaching bolts can be installed. Tighten sprocket bolts to 28 N·m (250 in. lbs.)
Rotate engine slightly clockwise to remove timing chain slack, if necessary.
To arm the timing chain tensioner: Use a flat bladed pry tool to gently pry tensioner arm towards the tensioner slightly  Then, release the tensioner arm. Verify the tensioner is armed (extends)
Install the timing chain cover, crankshaft damper, and cylinder head covers.
Install camshaft position sensor and connect electrical connector.
Install upper intake manifold. Refer procedure in this section
