im being told to put timing gears dot to dot on compression stroke or does the dot go on top i need pics please~~

 

If you haven't taken the old ones off yet..... look for the dots on those, and line 'em up, dot to dot. Then, just pull 'em off, and put on the new ones WITHOUT moving anything. If you already took off the old ones, put 'em back on..... and line up the dots.

 

i already had the chain off when i 1st did it they were dot to dot and put it back on that way and wont idle and pinged i was told to put it on compression stroke on # 1 but when i do timing mark is at top on the cam gear the rotor is pointing to # 1 like this if i put the marks like they should it will be its on the exhaust stroke and rotor is at # 6

 

All the info you need and more is in the fsm even pix.

 

It should look something like this (dot on crank gear is hard to see, but it is there). If #1 is at top and rotor is pointed wrong, I suspect you are on exhaust stroke instead of compression.

 

what is fsm

 

Factory Service Manual.

Available in the DIY Section on here.

 

You're in here > 100 post and haven't been smacked by Zman for the FSM?

Something is wrong. However, you really should have had your own Haynes manual in the first place. But going plug n play style might work.

 

I have seen more than a couple timing sets that when the gears are dot to dot, number 6 is in firing position, not 1.......

 

OMG, not another one. Timing chain is easy as hell if you do it right to begin with.(per a Haynes or the FSM) Tear into blindly and good freakin luck. With tc cover off, rotate crank until dots line up on OEM gears,(doesn't matter what piston is where) remove said gears. And replace with new ones. Replace seal and cover. Done. If you rotated the cam or crank , time to start over. (before damage is done)
