Engine timing

What engine do you have? It may be an interference engine and you may have bent valves.

Never never do a timing belt on a chrysler engine unless you are a mechanic that has done it a few times. It will end up very expensive as it looks like it might be. Let me know.

Please note the * by the 3.5l engine. That means it is an intereference engine. If the engine has rotated once out of time you have bent or broken valves or the camshaft and or cylinder heads. The heads have to come off with out question. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news as it is an expensive repair over $1500. Good luck

It is a complicated procedure and requires all componenst to be set just right. I suggest you buy a Haynes book as it has some good illustrations of how things are supposed to be.
