Timing Belt: 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo 3.4L DOHC Z34 V6
Hello,
I removed the timing belt like a complete idiot against my better judgement. Now I have a problem. I got the crank and balancer lined up... I think I have the first 2 cams lined up right (The ones closest to the front of the car). Originally there were yellow dots on all 4 of the cams. I went over 3 of them with a little white paint, and then lined up, one facing the next. The fourth cam,... the all the way towards the back of the engine, is so dirty and corroded that I can't tell where the dot is, and therefore cant line up those two cams (the ones closest to the firewall). Now what??? Went on monte carlo forum and the only info I was give was to "line up the cam flats." Honestly not even sure what that means... Even worse,... I got on this site and I was reading up on the timing belt proceedure and it states you have to pull the valve covers, plenum, and a few other parts. O god I really hope not. Just looking to get the belt back on and the car running again...
1. How do I get the four cams lined up properly?
2. If infact I can line the cams up by putting the them dot to dot, how do I get the other two lined up when one of the dots are not visible.
Any help you can give me I will appreciate,
Dan
