Isuzu trooper 2002 RLV engine. camshaft timing

ALL Timing marks should be lined up correctly. If they are out of position you could do some VERY expensive damage to the engine.

wizard? what year.
not sold here, we are a USA forum, not japan , nor Thailand.
sold 1989 to 2004 , world wide, and under diffr, names
wiz, is Japan marketed name.
so where are you and what engine.
RLV ?

ok, the internal code RLV is.

6VD1W DOHC 3.2-Liter V6 Engine (RLV)

the 1w means the twin cam version 3.2L
so what do you want to time the 4 cams
just the belt or the cam gears , or what.
if you search this forum the 6vd1w , this has been answered many times. just search, see the photos
or tell how far engine is taken apart,
heads off
heads dismantled, what?

here you go cylinder head 47 ft lbs, rocker cover 80 in lbs, camshaft caps 89 in lbs, intake 18 ft lbs.

the timming gear that the belt runs on has a mark (V cut in gear) to rear cover at about 12 o clock and crank pulley has timming mark for top dead centre, both cams have cut outs in rear that a special tool (camshaft stopper 5-8840-2592-0) locks into to hold cams in correct position, but can do without this, if the cam belt gear is off, the keyway should be at 12 o clock. the marks in the camshaft gears (dots) is for assembly of sissor gears to solid gears on camshafts that run together and they should match up only if you had this appart.

no.1 is timming mark

this is the locking plate tool

Take it to a trained mechanic that works on isuzu's. If you have never put a belt on one of these do not attempt it.The cam pulley turns aver three times to one rotation of the camshafts, no marks.

the timing marks are on the top (camshaft)and bottom (crankshaft)pulleys,but you may have to clean off the faces to see them,try using chalk.

The cam pulley notch goes in line with the mark on the front cam bearing cap and the crankshaft pulley goes at 12 o'clock - its got a tiny mark on the back lip that lines up with the mark on the cover .

Did you take the cams off in one lump or split them ? if you did come back on here for how to time them up .

Aah I see. Let's start from the beginning then. Standing in front of the car and starting from YOUR left , looking at the cams you should see RE, RI, LI, LE on each of the camshafts.(R for right bank, L for left bank, I for intake and E for exhaust) Right bank camshafts are marked with one dot, left bank with 2 dots on the shaft itself. To align the camshafts to each other each cam shaft gear has a mark on it. Draw an imaginary line between the centre of the camshaft and the centre of the pulley. The alignment mark should be between the two along this imaginary line. The result will be that RI an RE will be at the top of each gear. The same with the left bank.

It explains setting the timing further. Get these set up correctly and then we can dig further. I can post a diagram but haven't figured out how on Fixya yet.

It's more to it than aligning the marks since the cam pulleys turn about three times or more to one turn of the camshaft on this engine. You need to find someone that is experienced on this vehicle.
