Mr. CORNEL, according to what you have said, one thing is possible,with oil level ok,battery good, means that the problem you face is that the Oil Pressure Pump lost the pressure strength and cause the Crank shaft as not enough Oil to get lubricated sufficiently,cause the crank and rod bearings to seized on the crank shaft and that's why you do have hard turnings. In other words the engine seized and must call you mechanic to help and advise. The Red Light blinking before was the warning to that something was wrong with the oil pressure.
place no 1 piston at TDC compression stroke. There are procedures for the timing of the balance shafts but if it is only the timing chain I will go to that
Align uniquely coloured chain link with intake camshaft sprocket timing mark-- INT--. ( this will be pointing at the 2 o'clock position)
install timing chain and sprocket as an assembly
align first matching coloured chain link crankshaft timing mark (5 o'clock position)
align the second matching coloured chain link with exhaust cam shaft timing mark--EXH ( at the 11 o'clock position
There is a special procedure to reset the balance tensioner and it is different to the timing chain procedure.
To reset cam shaft timing chain tensioner push piston fully and turn clockwise until locked
Once the tensioner has been compressed ensure the distance from end to end is 2.83 inches . If not repeat the resetting process
vehicles 30.000 miles the tensioner is released when the engine is first started . In vehicles over 30.000 miles manually release tensioner by tapping the plunger
Note cam shaft and crank shaft sprockets bolts MUST only be used once. If you want details on the balancer chain procedure then make a comment in the box
use tension wrench and a degree gauge
cam bolts are tensioned to 63 ft lbs + 30 degrees
crank shaft pulley is tensioned to 74 ft lbs + 75 degrees
diagrams I have show a twin cam set up with 2 balancing shafts. The marks on the cam shaft point to (left cam shaft 11 oclock the mark on the right point to the 1 oclock position. The chain will have 3 black links-- the top black links will be at the timing marks on the shafts with the 3rd black link directly at 6 oclock facing a mark on the gear. The balancer marks both point to the 1 oclock position with black links on each and the 3rd black link will be facing a mark to the 7 oclock position on the crankahaft gear. Everything is done with the piston at TDC no 1 cylinder so get it there before you put the cam shafts in position or you will bend valves. Crank shaft gear is not keyed to the crank shaft. there are dots on the right hand balancer shaft gears and these dots will be as the 2 dots on adjacent teeth either side of a dot on the meshing gear. I suppose that is all as clear as mud but if you got this far then you will see the marks and marked links on the chains
if you can remove the timing cover and try to bring the engine using your hand with a tool by turning the crank shaft with the engine off and battery terminal off,to the timing marks. surely the camshaft and crank shaft sensors do have some marks. if it is diesel engine also the fuel pump has mark too. If you aligned the marks and are in a correct place then you problem is something else,If the marks are not aligned then you timing is wrong and try once more to fit it whilst in a correct place.
the cam shaft sprockets have marks on them that say" front" and have a hole,, the marks should be up and level on the cams,one cam says in on it and thats intake and one says ex on it and thats exhaust cam,,,the sprockets on the cams have a little cirlce at one of the teeth on each cam these face up,,and line up with the different color links on the timming chain,,,the crank sprocket only goes on one way due to the keyway the the key way faces at the 12 clock position and you will see a mark at the same 12 position on the engine block,, there is also a different colored link for the timing mark on the cranksprocket ,actually its two colored links in a row and they go at the 6 clock position on the crank,,,then put the guides on and the tensioner and set the tension
