Timing Belt Replacement
#21
Timing Marks Way Off need help
2004 Chrysler 300M 3.5 ltr
I replaced the timing belt and must have had some slack in the belt. When I put the belt tensioner back on and rotated the engine two times as the Haynes manual directed...the camshaft marks are way off. I may not have been on the compression stroke when I aligned TDC. Now at TDC on Crankshaft the cam shafts marks are 1-2 marks past 180 degrees opposite the marks on the top of the housing.
What do I do to realign everything? Some posts I have read caution against rotating a full revolution to realign the cams.
I have rotated the motor by hand more than one revolution...
can I go back in and rotate the camshafts clockwise to align the marks without the valves hitting pistons?
What is the procedure for realigning the camshafts and Crankshaft when they have moved this far and never been disassembled?

If you need to turn the cams, move the crank off of TDC so the pistons will go down some.

The NAG will only have 6 TOR-X bolts holding the pan on with little brackets. And it's rectangle. The other will have a more square pan with many bolts that have 10MM hex head fasteners.
