Timing mark location alignment when changing timing belt.

To set the timing on a 2006 Dodge Charger with a 2.7-liter engine, you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Locate the crankshaft pulley and the timing mark on the pulley. The timing mark is usually a notch or an indentation on the pulley that lines up with a reference point on the engine.
2. Remove the timing belt cover and locate the timing belt.
3. Rotate the crankshaft pulley until the timing mark on the pulley is aligned with the reference point on the engine.
4. Locate the camshaft sprocket and the timing mark on the sprocket. The timing mark is usually a notch or an indentation on the sprocket that lines up with a reference point on the engine.
5. Rotate the camshaft sprocket until the timing mark on the sprocket is aligned with the reference point on the engine.
6. Check that the timing marks on both the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets are aligned with their respective reference points.
7. If the timing marks are not aligned, loosen the bolts that hold the timing belt tensioner in place and rotate the tensioner to bring the timing marks into alignment.
8. Once the timing marks are aligned, tighten the bolts on the tensioner and replace the timing belt cover.

It is important to be careful when setting the timing on your vehicle as improper timing can cause serious damage to the engine. If you are unsure about any part of the process, it is recommended to seek the assistance of a professional mechanic.

I am assuming you are referring to a 2.2 liter 5SFE engine. If so camshaft timing mark is dot located on forward face of sprocket mid spoke/or a notch on inboard rim of sprocket. locate mark and paint with white paint. Locate timing mark-small raised dot on plate behind sprocket at approx. one o-clock position paint this white for easy reference. Crank shaft sprocket has small notch on inboard rim. paint white for reference. align cam timing marks, then align crankshaft mark with #0 on timing scale. Adjust tensioner and belt is aligned. I recommend changing idler pulleys and water pump when replacing belt as preventative maintenance. Also inspect shaft oil seals and replace as needed. Performing these services now will save time and money in the future.

Arrows point to timing marks in correct position.

Here is the trick. Align marks. Put the timing belt on the crank shaft pulley first, and after on the overhead cam pulley. Release tensioner and rotate the crank shaft till the timing belt makes two full circles. Try to align marks, you will be at least one tooth off. Align the crank shaft on the mark, and find out how many teeth you are off at the cam shaft pulley. Count the teeth. Remove the timing belt from cam shaft pulley only. Move cam shaft pulley in reverse according to the number of teeth you counted. Make sure the crank shaft pulley is on the mark. Mount the belt at cam shaft pulley.Rotate the belt two circles and check the marks. Repeate this procedure til after releasing the tensioner, and rotating the timing belt two full circles, the mars will be align.

Timing Belt Removal & Installation 3.0L Engine To Remove:

5. Rotate the crankshaft sprocket until its timing mark is aligned with the oil pump timing mark.
6. Rotate the rear camshaft sprocket until its timing mark is aligned with the timing mark on the generator bracket.
7. Rotate the front (radiator side) camshaft sprocket until its mark is aligned with the timing mark on the inner timing belt cover.
8. Install the timing belt on the crankshaft sprocket while keeping the belt tight on the tension side. NOTE: If the original belt is being reused, be sure to install it in the same rotational direction.
   
9. Position the timing belt over the front camshaft sprocket (radiator side). Next, position the belt under the water pump pulley, then over the rear camshaft sprocket and finally over the tensioner. CAUTION
   If any binding is felt when adjusting the timing belt tension by turning the crankshaft, STOP turning the engine, because the pistons may be hitting the valves.
   Rent or borrow the special tool to hold the camshaft sprockets steady . . .

Hope this helped (remember comment and rated this post).

1. Remove all necessary components for access to the timing belt cover, then remove the cover.
2. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise and align the timing marks so No. 1 piston will be at Top Dead Center (TDC) of the compression stroke.
3. Loosen the tensioning bolt and the pivot bolt on the timing belt tensioner. Move the tensioner as far as it will go toward the water pump. Tighten the adjusting bolt.
4. Mark the timing belt with an arrow showing direction of rotation.
5. Remove the timing belt.
6. If defective, remove the timing belt tensioner.
7. Align the timing marks of the camshaft sprocket and check that the crankshaft timing marks are still in alignment.
8. If removed, install the timing belt tensioner, spring and spacer with the bottom end of the spring free. Tighten the adjusting bolt slightly with the tensioner moved as far as possible away from the water pump.
9. Install the free end of the spring into the locating tang on the front case.
10. Position the timing belt over the crankshaft sprocket, then over the camshaft sprocket. Slip the back of the belt over the tensioner wheel.
11. Turn the camshaft sprocket in the opposite of its normal direction of rotation until the straight side of the belt is tight and be sure the timing marks align.
    NOTE If the timing marks are not properly aligned, shift the belt 1 tooth at a time in the appropriate direction until they are aligned.
    
12. Loosen the tensioner mounting bolts so the tensioner works, without the interference of any friction, under spring pressure. Be sure the belt follows the curve of the camshaft pulley so the teeth are engaged all the way around. Correct the path of the belt, if necessary.
13. Tighten the tensioner adjusting bolt, then the tensioner pivot bolt to 15-18 ft. lbs. (20-26 Nm).
    NOTE Bolts must be tightened in the stated order or tension won't be correct.
    
14. Turn the crankshaft 1 turn clockwise until timing marks again align to seat the belt.
15. Loosen both tensioner attaching bolts and let the tensioner position itself under spring tension. Retighten the bolts.
16. Check belt tension by putting a finger on the water pump side of the tensioner wheel and pull the belt toward the water pump. The belt should move toward the pump until the teeth are approximately 1 / 2 of the way across the head of the tensioner adjusting bolt. Re-tension the belt, if necessary.
17. Install the timing belt covers and all other related components.
