How do i set camshafts on 1999 duvil northstar

Remove camshaft covrs
Remove front cover
Remove or fully retract all three timing chain tensioners
Remove oil pump
Primary and secondary chain guides should remain in place. Rotate crankshaft until sprocket drive key is at about 1 o'clock position.
Set crankshaft and intermediate shaft sprockets into primary drive chain with their timing marks asjacent to each other.
Install crankshaft and intermediate sprockets over their respective shafts. Rotating crankshaft as necessary to engage crankshaft key in sprocket without changing the timing mark relationship.
Install Flywheel Holder Tool (J-39411) to lock crankshaft in position. Install intermediate shaft sprocket retaining bolt and torque to specifications.
Route secondary chain for left cylinder head over inner row of intermediate shaft teeth.
Route secondary drive chain over chain guide, and install exhaust cam sprocket to chain so camshaft drive pin engages the sprocket notch marked "LE" (Left Exhaust).
There dhould be no slack in the lower section of the chain, and the camshaft drive pin must be perpendicular (90 degrees) to the cylinder head surface.
Install the intake camshaft sprocket into the chain so the sprocket notch marked "LI" (Left Intake) engages camshaft drive pin, while drive pin remains perpendicular to the head face. Minor adjustments can be made to camshaft position to get pin to engage by using a wrench on the hex cast into the camshaft.
Install sprocket retainer bolts and torque to specification.
Repet steps as above to install the right secondary chain to the right camshafts. The right camshaft sprockets are marked "RE" and "RI". In addition, the RE sprocket must contain the camshaft position sensor pickup.

Fig. 3: Insert the timing pin to ensure that the camshaft is at
No. 1 TDC - SOHC engine

Fig. 4: When the camshaft is at TDC, rotate the crankshaft
counterclockwise 90 degrees to achieve TDC

DOHC Engine

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the timing chain front cover.
NOTE: During timing chain and sprocket removal, position the
crankshaft 90 degrees past Top Dead Center (TDC) to make sure the pistons will
not contact the valves upon assembly.
Carefully rotate the crankshaft clockwise so the timing mark on the
crankshaft sprocket and keyway align with the main bearing cap split line.
Remove the bolts, then remove the timing guides and tensioner.
Remove the camshaft sprocket bolts, using a 7?8 in. (21mm) wrench
to hold the camshaft. Then remove the timing chain and camshaft sprocket. Remove
the crankshaft sprocket, if necessary.
To install:
Inspect the chain for wear and damage. Check the inside diameter of the
chain, it should be no more than 23.15 in. (588mm). Inspect the chain guides for
wear or cracks and the timing sprockets for teeth or key wear. Replace
components as necessary.
Verify that the crankshaft is positioned 90 degrees clockwise past TDC. The
crankshaft keyway should be at 3 o'clock aligned with the main bearing cap split
line to prevent piston and valve damage.
Install the camshaft sprockets, retaining bolts and washers. Make sure the
letters FRT on the sprockets face forward, away from the cylinder block. Use the
wrench flats provided on the camshafts to hold the shaft and tighten the bolts
to 75 ft. lbs. (102 Nm).
Bring the camshafts up to No. 1 TDC by rotating the camshafts and sprocket
until the dowel pins are at 12 o'clock. Install a 1?6 in. drill bit
into the hole in the sprocket about 9 o'clock.
If removed, install the crankshaft sprocket, then rotate the crankshaft
counterclockwise 90 degree up to No. 1 TDC (keyway and sprocket timing mark at
12 o'clock, in alignment with the block timing mark).
Position the timing chain under the crankshaft sprocket and over the
camshaft sprockets so 2 silver link plates align with the reference marks on the
camshaft sprockets and another 2 plates align with the downward tooth (at 6
o'clock position) on the crankshaft sprocket. Excess chain slack should be
located on the tensioner side of the cylinder block.
Verify that the crankshaft reference mark aligns with the cylinder block
mark at 12 o'clock and that the timing pins are installed in the holes at about
the 9 o'clock position. Remove the timing pins from the camshaft sprockets.
Install the timing chain fixed guide to the right of the block face toward
the water pump. Tighten the bolts to 21 ft. lbs. (28 Nm) and verify the chain is
snug against the guide.
Install the pivoting chain guide and check for clearance between the block
and head. Tighten the bolt to 19 ft. lbs. (26 Nm) and verify the guide pivots
freely.
Install the 2 forward camshaft bearing caps and the upper timing chain
guide, then tighten the retaining bolts to 124 inch lbs. (14 Nm).
Retract the tensioner plunger and pin the ratchet lever using a 1?8 in. (3.18mm) No.

Timing specs

Here is All Lititure But Pictures Wont show up on FixYa for some reason, I can Email it ALL to you Just Send Me A Request to my Nickname here @aol.com

SPECIAL TOOLS REQUIRED (or equivalents)

J-36008, Camshaft sprocket timing alignment pins.
J-39579, Camshaft sprocket wrench.

CAUTIONS:

The timing chain on the 1996 LD9 (VIN T) Twin Cam Engine is not to be replaced with the timing chain from any other model year. The timing sprockets are different on the Twin Cam Engine and the shape of the links matches the sprockets. Engine damage may result if the wrong timing chain is used.
The timing chain and crankshaft sprocket MUST be marked so that they are reinstalled with the same side facing out at the time of reassembly.
Failure to follow the removal and installation procedures could result in severe engine damage.

REMOVE OR DISCONNECT

Negative battery cable.
Front cover, refer to Timing Cover / Service and Repair .
Rotate crankshaft in clockwise direction until camshaft and crankshaft timing marks are aligned.
Timing chain guides.
Raise and support vehicle.
Ensure slack in timing chain is above tensioner assembly, then remove chain tensioner. The timing chain must be disengaged from grooves in tensioner shoe to permit removal of shoe. Position a suitable screwdriver under timing chain while pulling shoe outward. If difficulty is encountered in removing tensioner shoe, proceed as follows:

Lower vehicle, then while holding the intake camshaft sprocket with J-39579, remove sprocket bolt and washer.
Remove washer, then install bolt into camshaft by hand.
Position a suitable three jaw puller into intake camshaft sprocket relief holes and remove sprocket. CAUTION: Do NOT pry on camshaft sprocket as damage to sprocket or timing chain housing may result.

Tensioner assembly attaching bolts and tensioner assembly.
MARK CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET AND TIMING CHAIN outer surface for reassembly.
Timing chain.

INSTALL OR CONNECT

Intake camshaft sprocket onto camshaft with surface marked during removal showing.
Intake camshaft sprocket retaining bolt and washer, torque to 70 Nm (52 ft lbs) while holding the sprocket with J-39579 (if removed).
Timing pins, J-36008, through holes in camshaft sprockets into holes in timing chain housing to position camshafts for proper timing. If camshafts are out of position and must be rotated more that 1/8 turn to insert timing pins:

Crankshaft MUST be rotated 90°clockwise off of TDC in order to give the valves adequate clearance to open.
Once the camshafts are in position and the timing pins have been installed rotate crankshaft COUNTERCLOCKWISE to TDC. CAUTION: Do NOT rotate the crankshaft clockwise to TDC, valve or piston damage could occur.

Timing chain over exhaust camshaft sprocket, around idler sprocket and around crankshaft sprocket.
Set camshaft sprockets at timed position and install timing chain. Remove timing pin from intake camshaft. Using J-39579, rotate the intake camshaft sprocket counterclockwise until timing chain can be installed over sprocket. Release J-39579 after timing chain has been installed over sprocket. The length of chain between intake and exhaust camshaft sprockets should tighten. The timing pin should easily fit through intake camshaft sprocket timing hole into timing chain housing timing hole. If timing pin does not fully index, the camshafts are NOT timed correctly and the procedure MUST be repeated.
With timing pins installed, raise and support vehicle.
With slack removed from timing chain between intake camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket, timing marks on crankshaft and engine block should be aligned. If the marks are not aligned, move timing chain one tooth forward or rearward to align marks. Remove slack and recheck marks.
Reload tensioner assembly to zero position as follows:

Form a keeper out of heavy gauge wire into a U-shaped piece with a half inch opening.
Apply slight force on tensioner blade to compress plunger.
Insert small screwdriver into reset access hole and pry rachet pawl away from ratchet teeth while forcing the plunger completely in the hole.
Install keeper between access hole and blade.

Tighten timing chain tensioner bolts to 10 Nm (89 in lbs) .
Lower vehicle to point where timing pins can be removed from camshaft sprockets.
Rotate crankshaft two revolutions in the clockwise direction. Align crankshaft keyway with the mark on cylinder block and reinstall timing pins through camshaft sprockets into housing timing holes. Timing pins should slide easily through timing holes. If timing pins cannot be inserted easily, repeat procedure to properly time engine. CAUTION: If the engine is not correctly timed, severe engine damage could occur.
Timing chain guides.
Engine front cover.

You can count the number of notches on the Belt giving you the number of chain links between the Front and/or Rear Camshaft Marks to the Crankshaft Sprocket.

When putting on the Timing Chain - AFTER THE CAMMSHAFT AND CRANKSHAFT MARKS ARE CORRECT - The Number of Chain lengths is IMMATERIAL because you start at the RIGHT SIDE of the Crankshaft Sprocket and work your way COUNTERCLOCKWISE to the First Camshaft (on the Link's Diagram - on the Right) and then down to the Water Pump and then to the Second Camshaft (on the Link's Diagram - on the Left) and then down to the Tensioner Pulley and down to the LEFT SIDE of the Crankshaft Sprocket.
