Valve Timing Verification

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Dodge Caliber. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Painted or colored chain links are used during initial engine assembly and can not be relied upon for valve timing verification. These markings are in different locations for early production, late production and service parts. Only use Top Deal Center marks, cylinder head cover sealing surface and camshaft sprocket marks to verify valve timing or engine damage may result.
