Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting How do i check the timing

I just can't find clear directions on this, for a 99 SVT. I have the valve covers off (well, only the front one right now. I'm still trying to find out why the car is running a little rough. Btw I know you can't adjust the timing on these cars, but I want to make sure I didn't skip a tooth when I over revved it.


Here is what i know...i have the dampner at TDC. I know the back of the cams have incorrect markings for timing. So where do i want the divits(?)on the cam gears to be pointing? Then i turn the whole thing one turn (and look for...)? Count chain links....what?

Here is my original post:
