How do you set the timing on a V6 DOHC engine

first off , the service manual did not lie to you.
get it and read it first? the real book or reading internet lies from google searching, 3.5L V6
would you blow up and engine off of internet lies, well NO.
no year car told.
nor in what country.
not told which of the 3 , 3.5L engine is is.
only used here USA in 1997 to 2002 in say Montero


it needs to be timed correctly , or risk bending all head valves.
most DOHC cam engines are interference.
the High CR one is .

ok here is your answer
the tension'er on this engine is a separate part

if you read the cars service manual all this is covered fully
buy it and not wreck valves is a win
( all 3 shown here) It is not one engine is 3.

6g74 IS MADE IN 3 TYPEs of CR, heads CR= Compression ratio.
this:
9.5 (SOHC); 10 (DOHC); 10.4 (DOHC GDI)
3 ENGINES MADE, WHICH ONE YOU HAVE NOT TOLD
3 different power spec. HP or KW


SOLD WITH 3 ENGINES, AND LAST ONE IS DOHC AND INTERFERENCE AS 99% ARE,

best is set #1 firing TDC and replace belt and not move cam or crank, win./!! do so on all engines and win, no bent valves ever.

1: set TDC 1 firing. 0 degress
2; off the tensioner (linear rod type)
3: off the belt
4: preload he tension'er use a nail.
5: remount the tension'er device.
new belt on
pull the nail above.
and so on, reverse of dismantle.

Unfortunately, the owners of many of these vehicles are totally unaware that their timing belt needs to be periodically replaced for preventive maintenance. The belt is out-of-sight and out-of-mind and, unless they read their owner's manual (which few ever do) and see the replacement recommendation in black-and-white, they usually ignore the belt until it's too late.

Mazda Timing Belt Replacement

ok what engine is there,? gas or diesel, ill guess, gas.
that symptoms Gob smacks me as, timing errors.
is the cam belt ignore for 6 years. (6x 10k per year, is 60k mile)
that is all part of a tuneup, or doing necessary service on the engine.
the belt slipped,
if you had check spark timing ,it be way off, and that belt caused that.

gen 2, trooper have this line up,
3.2 L 6VD1 SOHC V6
3.2 L 6VD1 DOHC V6
3.5 L 6VE1 DOHC V6
3.0 L 4JX1 TD I4
3.1 L 4JG2 TD I4

i ask every time, and not one ever can figure out whats under the hood. sadly.

the last 2 are diesel...

if you disclose engine that tells the spert, what EFI system is there.

The only cure to fix squeaking belts, is to replace with the new one. When the belts start squeaking noise, then it is the time to check the status of the timing belt or chain, depending on the size of the engine.
The 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra was offered with the choice of 2.4L 4-cylinder or 3.3L V6 engine.
The 2.4-liter 4-cylinder DOHC engine was a pretty good reliable engine, but for this truck, it was underpowered. This engine has a long-lasting timing chain - there is no timing belt to replace.
The 3.3-liter V6 SOHC was also a bit slow on pick-up, but for daily use, it was pretty good, durable, simple engine. This engine has a timing belt that needs to be replaced at recommended intervals. The SE model offered a supercharged version of the same engine with more power.

Every 80,000 miles along with a NEW water Pump as well since its right there with it

The 2002-2006 Camry received the next generation 2.4L 4-cylinder engine (model 2AZ-FE), which combines decent power with excellent fuel economy. This engine does not have a timing belt, it has a chain that does not need to be replaced.
The second choice is very smooth and powerful 3.0-liter 24-valve all-aluminum V6 engine.
Starting from 2004, the 3.3-liter V6 DOHC VVT-i engine is available on SE V6 model.
Both, the 3.0L and 3.3L V6 engines have a timing belt that must be replaced at certain interval
