97 isuzu rodeo timimg belt diagram 3.2 l

idlers are not timed, just crank to cam.....
alldata.com has the timing setup for this, log in and read?
interference engines , do you know how to work them>?

im not posted all 32 steps.
but just this.
you never stated the job, just the belt bad? or cams out, or cogs off? what was fiddled so far.....???????
ill assume the cam gears are untouched.




step 3 on install states
"If any binding is felt when adjusting the timing belt tension by turning the crankshaft, STOP turning the engine, because the pistons may be hitting the valves."


just 15 bucks to not bend over the head valves.

RTM , please read the manual, then ask questions.

There's a dot on the cam and a mark on the head turn the cam over with a ratchet and socket it should pop into place be sure to line up both cams one on each head and the bottom on the crank there's a mark on the pulley for the belt you should buy the timing belt kit it comes with new idler pulleys and you should also change the water pump while your in there it runs off the timing belt the new timing belt I put on had dots on it to help line up the timing marks

timimg marks for camshafts are notched in the top of the cylinder head. they shuld line up directly in the middle of the 2 smaller cam gears behind the new belt should come with lines on it to make it easier crank to be lined up with keyway slot to the right again the belt should have a ditted line on it for that remember remove the tensioner pushrod assembly and put it in the vice to depress it line the holes up in the body of it and put a 1/4 in allen key through it when you refit remove the key turn it over twice all good

if its a 6VE1 engine you might want to remove rocker covers and put front lobes of camshafts in position shown in picture with cam gear timmed up at same point cam gear are 3:1 ratio


look closely at cam gears in pic to see front lobe positions for both banks
