    I have a 99 Tacoma 2.4, I tried aligning the timing marks on on the cam and crank sprockets but the painted link doesn’t line up on the crank anyone has any suggestions?

    Probably have to turn the cams a touch while you move the chain

    I’ll try it but if I do that want it make the cams off time if I get the color mark to line up on the crank?

    No. You can move the cams just a little bit of the chain is just off by a tooth or so

    Yea but not that much according to the book the two painted links on the cam sprockets are supposed to facing up and the one other painted link is facing down on the crank sprocket but they are far from lining up
