Timing marks on 02 Saturn 3.0

50 causes, want to guess wrong 50 times
its not a dead started. nor dead battery. nor bad alternator at this point.
the word is start, not turns over, the starter motor and engine both turn over called spinning, he engine then spins(turns) and then spark burns the fuel so spark is first.
not start using jumper cable car top car other car running,
like the AAA auto club tow man does 100 times a day.
?
if dead , check spark, fuel can not burn lacking good spark\
we test all spark plugs for strong spark
if you did the chain wrong the cam is time wrong and now cam and spark are timed wrong. and compression is 1/2 normal and is now 3 ways wrong. see? chain wrong cause 3 wrongs
and on modern cars newer, the PCM sees CMP and CKP out of sync and pcm then cuts spark and cutting spark cuts fuel tool
so now 5 ways wrong
your post did not say at what point that work made engine dead.
your list if events seems wrong. time
runs
new chain
dead , is this it?, seems so to me but I can not watch you mess up.

the chain can not be just thrown on
and TDC happens 2 times on 4 cycle engines
the correct TDC must be used per the manual.
some use #1 firing other cars use #4
or just match marks crank and cam,

L61 engine with chain balance shaft.
cam chain, shows 7 tools to do this job , ouch
step 22
Rotate the crankshaft in the engine rotational direction clockwise, until the No.?1 piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke.
ahhhh yes very tricky timing settings to avoid piston valve hITS
steps:
Rotate the crankshaft in the engine rotational direction clockwise, until the No.?1 piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. set chain color cap to crank cog mark
then at cams, 2 more chain caps at:
set EXH mark cam to chain colored cap

1. Using the dampener, rotate the crank so that the mark on the timing chain drive sprocket is at 5?o'clock position.
2. Set the crankshaft to 60?degrees before the top dead center.

position the exhaust camshaft with the offset slot to 2?o'clock position.EXH mark.
Position intake camshaft with offset slot to 11?o'clock position..
INT mark
all; 3 marks must be correct or bend valves you will
if set wrong DO IT AGAIN> now, keys in pocket.
this is an INTERFERENCE engine,
use DUE RESPECT OF THIS or huge damage happens./

with the timing mark on tdc no 1 cyl rockers should be in a position where a slight movement either way of the crank will see the exhaust start to close and the inlet start to open
you may have to turn the crank 180 degrees if the first look shows that both valves are closed
the valve rock situation indicates that the valve timing is correct

You have 2/4/6 timing marks 180 degress out on exhaust or intake cam .

Did your special tool ?
Rotate the crankshaft using the J 42098 until the #1 cylinder is at 60 degrees before top dead center (BTDC).
Install theJ 42069 Crankshaft Locking Tool.
Rotate the crankshaft in the engine rotational direction (clockwise) using the J 42098 until the #1 cylinder is at top dead center (TDC) and tighten the lever arm to the water pump pulley flange.
Important: Ensure that the alignment of the crankshaft is not 180 degrees off. The alignment mark must align with the corresponding notches on the rear timing belt cover.
Install the 1-2 and 3-4 camshaft locks, the J42069-1 Timing Belt Alignment Kit and the J42069-2.
Important: Do not rotate the crankshaft if the camshafts are not locked in place with the 1-2 and 3-4 camshaft locks (J42069-1 and J42069-2).
Important: Do not rotate the camshafts unless the crankshaft is at 60 degrees BTDC or the valves may contact the crankshaft.
Loosen the tensioner pulley.
Remove the timing belt.

It appears that you got it right but to be sure the check is on the timing chain there are 3 black links If you have it right then the black links will line up with the marks. If not then re adjust the gear that is not correct.- ensure that you have the ignition timing right as you may be 180 degrees out

----------This will help.Thanks.

you have to set your #1 piston at TDC and found the marking of crankshaft at 12 O'clock. then the camshaft at 3 O'clock. make sure the markings are in corresponding marks of each sprockets.


this diagram is a sample timing mark of a galant.

Hi,
Are you looking for ignition timing or valve timing marks?
The ignition timing is set at 10 degrees BTC. the marks are at the front of the engine and the degrees are scaled onto a raised molding on the plastic timing belt cover. There is a line marked on the pulley. Paint with correcting fluid the 10 degree mark and the pulley mark. Correct timing is 10 degrees BTC.
Before setting, open the diagnostic connector in the engine compartment and using a short piece of electrical wire and bridge between "T" and 'E' If this is not done the timing will not be corrected.
If you've replaced the timing belt and you're looking for the timing marks, the mark for the crank shaft is a raised casting forming a small pointer for the crank shaft which aligns with a groove in the crank timing gear....When looking from above at the relevant section of the engine, it will appear on your right hand side just above the crankshaft timing gear.
The marks for the cams are holes drilled through each and these should be aligned with punch marks on the cylinder head. The best way of doing this job is by using a mirror and illuminating between the cam gears and the cylinder head.
Hope this helps

i number 1piston which is the front one on the passenger side has to be all the way up and then 60 degrees past that, there is a mark on the crank that matches up with an arrow on the oil pump housing, the driver side cam sprocket has an arrow on it, and the passenger side cam sprocket has a hole in it which is its timing mark, on the chain there are 4 gold link, a single gold link goes on the crank timing mark, a single gold link goes on the passenger cam sprocket timing mark, and the double gold links match up with the driver side cam sprocket timing mark

okay i posted you a picture of the postion. be carefull not to turn the crank or the cams or you will damaged the valves. let me know if you need more hlep.

timing belt marks are as follows= crank at TDC marks are at 10 oclock the both cams marks at TDC are at 12 .oclock position marks are clear if you look theoil pump gear also driven by belt marks are approx 11 oclock position also marked thebalance shaft gear/cog must also be set to 9 oclock position when the b/shaft belt is fitted to hold theoil pump sprocket in its correct position remove the small screw/blank plug on side of block then use an 8 mm posi screwdriver insert into hole it should travel approx 60 mm to engage if not rotate pump gear 360 degree till it does locate fit main belt from crank anti clockwise to cams then tension same with b/shaft tensioner make sure you torque all bolts correctly any more info req'd come back hope this helps ?
