I have a 2001 Olds Aurora with a V6 3.5 and I need the timing diagram for this. I have looked everywhere and can not find a book with it in it. Would you happen to have this??

Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using Fixya.

To install:

1. Rotate the crankshaft so the No. 1 piston is at TDC and the mark on the crankshaft is at the 4 o-clock position.
2. Rotate the balance shaft so the timing mark is at the 5 o-clock position.
   NOTE Be sure the painted links are facing the front of the engine.
3. Install the timing chain on the sprockets.
4. Center the mark on the left intake camshaft sprocket between the 2 painted links.
5. Lift the chain onto the right intake camshaft sprocket. While doing this, align the marks on the balance shaft and crankshaft sprockets with the painted marks on the chain.
6. Verify that all of the timing marks are aligned.
7. Install the primary chain tensioner shoe. Torque the bolt to 22 ft. lbs. (30 Nm).
8. Compress the primary chain tensioner using the following steps:
   1. Rotate the ratchet release lever counterclockwise and hold it.
   2. Press the tensioner shoe in and hold it.
   3. Release the ratchet lever and slowly release the pressure on the shoe.
   4. Insert a pin through the hole in the lever as the lever moves to the first click. The ratchet should hold the shoe in the compressed position.
      NOTE Be sure the lever on the tensioner is facing you when installed.
      
   
   
9. Install or connect the following:
   
   Primary chain tensioner. Torque the bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm); then remove the chain tensioner pin. 4 chain guide access plugs. Torque the plugs to 44 inch lbs. (5 Nm). Front engine lift bracket. Torque the hex head bolt to 37 ft. lbs. (50 Nm) and the internal drive bolt to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm). CMP sensor. Torque the bolts to 80 inch lbs. (9 Nm).
   
10. Remove the camshaft holding tools.
11. Place a small bead of RTV sealant on the 3 areas indicated in the diagram.
12. Install or connect the following:
    
    Front cover with a new gasket. Torque the bolts to 124 inch lbs. (14 Nm) and the coolant drain plug to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm). Crankshaft balancer. Torque the bolt to 37 ft. lbs. (50 Nm); then an additional 120 degree turn.
    
13. Raise the engine cradle and install new bolts. Torque the bolts to 133 ft. lbs. (180 Nm).
14. Coat the sub-frame bushings with rubber lubricant.
15. Install or connect the following:
    
    Water pump with a new gasket. Torque the bolts to 124 inch lbs. (14 Nm). Belt tensioner. Torque the bolts to 37 ft. lbs. (50 Nm). Idler pulley. Torque the bolt to 37 ft. lbs. (50 Nm). Power steering pump pulley Drive belt Underhood accessory wiring junction block Washer and coolant reservoirs Battery and tray Front diagonal brace Rocker arm covers. Torque the bolts to 80 inch lbs. (9 Nm). Negative battery cable
    
16. Refill the cooling system.
17. Refill the crankcase.
18. Start the engine and verify no leaks.

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Remove the rocker arm cover and install camshaft holding fixture J-42038.
4. Remove the camshaft sprocket bolts and install the timing chain holding fixture J-42042 on the cylinder head.
5. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   Sprockets and chain Secondary timing sprocket and chain

1. Install or connect the following:
   
   Secondary timing chain on the sprockets, with the drive pins at the 12 o-clock positions Sprockets and chain assembly onto the camshafts, with the chain properly aligned on the tensioner
   
2. Remove the timing chain holding fixture
3. Install the sprocket bolts. Torque the bolts to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm); then an additional 45 degree turn.
   
4. Remove the camshaft holding fixture.
5. Install or connect the following:
   
   Rocker arm cover Negative battery cable
