You have to make sure the engine is at top dead center on number one cylinder (all valves closed on number one cylinder) - if distributor installed check that #1 is on firing position so is not on exhaust stroke and or remove spark plug and put plastic straw in hole to see if piston is at TDC (top dead center) ready to fire on compression stroke.
After setting timing always rotate engine 4 times to bring back to same location and that nothing like pistons bump into valves etc. and make sure that timing marks are at the location. If you install backwards on some engines the oil pump will not be in line to accept oil and will not get oil pressure - I believe this true of 3.1 chev or was it 3.8 I messed up on, lol

Timing belt re-install and engine hard stops when rotating by hand even when timing marks lined up.
That hard stop is the valves hitting the head of the piston, you most likely have bent a valve, you have the valve timing wrong.

I am working on a pontiac grand prix i need to know how to adjust the timing when the new chain is on
84 should still have points. before you remove the old chain make sure number 1 cylinder is at top-dead-center for firing. Be sure the rotor in the ditributor is pointing at number 1. If you are careful in your instal and dont move anything all will be fine when you are done. If something moves be sure the timing marks and rotor are lined up again before you install chain. Timing marks should be on the crank and cam pulleys and should be lined up. Check a manual for correct alignment

Put a new timing belt on my 2003 Mazda Protege and I lined up the timing marks on the overhead cams and the crankshaft timing marks. When I started it the engine made a horrible tinging sound so I shutdown...
When you align the timing marks up take a wrench and rotate the crankshaft pully twice so the timing mark is lined up in the notch and then check your camshafts and see if you are still aligned. This may take a few times to get it right. Good luck!

Replacing a timming belt where are the marks suspost to line up
You didn't get the timing marks lined up between the cam and the valves. You are going to have to open it back up and line the marks back up correctly. Make sure you get the Number 1 cylinder lined up to Top Dead Center on the compression stroke and have the valves lined up correctly then line the timing marks up on the timing gears.

Got the car in pieces and was told the timing belt was replaced and all that was needed was to have all the accesories reinstalled. reinstalled the pieces that were with the car and got a no start...
with the nimber one cylinder @ tdc on compression stroke and all timing marks lined up dist. installed with rotor button pointing towards #1 you should be okay this is not an interference engine meaning if timing is not lined up properly the pistons will not contact valves causing damage
