Do the timing mark on the timing gears match up with off colored links on the timing chain every revolution

The marks on the chain are for your convenience i.e. no need to count links between crank and cam(s).

The chain markings shift depending on the number of links in the chain and number of teeth on the crank and cam gears, but the number of links (rotational distance) between crank and cams remains the same.

Once you turn the crank it it may take dozens of revolutions to sync back to the marks on the chain, unless you reverse the same number of revolutions.

So if you want to recheck timing after multiple crank revolutions, you need to count links from crank to cam and cam to cam or redo the timing procedure.

Think of it this way... you could stretch a chain around the moon and timing will be good but it will take hundreds of thousands of revolutions before the marks return to earth and likely still not in sync with gear marks.

In the old small block days no one counted links because crank and cam gears were adjacent, in the same planes and timing intuitive.

The marking on the casing is factory rong, check your piston on TDC & adjust your mark for the teeth

The timing is set by aligning the marks on the camshaft gears and the crankshaft gear with colored links on the chain. See the included link for guidance (it's for a Sebring, but the information is the same for an Intrepid). Be aware that rotating the engine after initial timing will change the relationship of the colored links with the gears. This is OK, just BE SURE THAT THEY ARE ALIGNED when the chain is INITIALLY installed. Chrysler Sebring Concorde 300 2 7L timing replacement Cloyes kit 9 0397SA

On those old Nissan's you will usually have a mark on the cam gear and a mark on the crank gear. Then your timing chain will usually have a number of different color links. You will place one link on the cam mark and the other end of the row of colored links on the crank mark. I can not help you with your particular model though as I do not have a manual.

Component Removal Guidelines 1. If engine disassembly is required that involves removing the camshafts or timing gears, set the #1 cylinder to TDC compression, wipe away any oil, and mark the following items in relation to each other prior to disassembly: • Timing gears • Timing chain • Timing chain No. 2 NOTE This relationship MUST be maintained. The intake gear is timed in relation to the crankshaft via the timing chain; the exhaust gear is timed in relation to the intake gear via the No. 2 timing chain. © 2008 Toyota Motor Sales, USA T-SB-0291-08 September 11, 2008 Page 5 of 5 2GR-FE Valve Timing Procedure Component Removal Guidelines (Continued) 2. If NEW camshaft timing gears or the No. 2 timing chain are being installed, the two yellow links on the No. 2 timing chain can be used to ensure correct relationship between the intake timing gear and the exhaust timing gear.

no --- the revolutions of the cam shaft is set to half the numbers of the crank shaft so that means that you will have to turn the crank 2 full turns to get the links to line up again

on the chaine lincks you see diferent color need to match whit marks on gear marks

If your talking about the cam timing, then it's a bit complicated. There are two timing chains and the marks depend on having chains with different colored links to line them all up.

The crankshaft should be where the key way is at about the 270 degree mark and the crank gear with the timing mark is at the bottom. the D/S chain goes on first and there should be a machined notch that will be "up". the raised line will be down. The chain goes on with the SINGLE colored link at the crank mark and the notch between the TWO links. The P/S chain goes the same way but the cam gear only has the one notch on it. Here is a picture:

Align the chain with the colored links on the chain over the marks on the cams.Twin cams Have a small hole on the cam gears that will align with a hole in the front of head.Crank Gear has a pip mark that goes straight up.colored links on crank go to the 5 & 7 Oclock position on the lower crank gear with pip mark on crank gear at 12:00.Hope this helps

if you mean the timing chain then on your crank gear and your cam gear there will be a mark on each sometimes they look like a dot the dots need to look like this for perfect timing ( . . ) this will be there closest position. Your crank turns once all the way around (360 degree) and your cam gear will do two complete revolutions to the one of the crank gear. so when you set your marks as above when you turn the crank one half turn the mark on the crank gear will be at the bottom and at the same time your cam gear will have made one complete revolution, so when you turn the crank another half turn your cam would have turned again a complete revolution and the two marks should be at their closet point again.
