Hi,

If you are referring to engine timing (timing chain and sprockets) I attached the directions below.

However, if you mean ignition timing, that can't be adjusted. The powertrain control module (PCM) primarily collects information from the crankshaft position (CKP) and camshaft position (CMP) sensors to control the sequence, dwell, and timing of the spark.

As far as engine timing is concerned, this is really a simple one to do because there is only one camshaft to deal with. You only have two marks to consider. One is on the crankshaft sprocket and the other is on the camshaft sprocket.

Take a look at the directions below and let me know if that helps. Also, let me know if that is what you needed.

Take care,

Joe
