Answer

Hello!

Looking in my references there is no special tool that is used in order to line up the timing belt. Only a special tool used to check the tension of the belt.

Here are the pictures of the alignment marks.

I have all the information already for timing marks and positions.. i'm a technician myself.. However as there is no mark on the exhaust cam gear.... That is my problem.

Answer

Well, you could either get a new exhaust sprocket that has the mark on it so that you can lined the exhaust camshaft up or pull the valve cover to have a look at the exhaust valves and try to line it up properly.

Are there any marks under the valve cover on this cam to indicate proper position? And is the cam gear indexed to the cam?

Answer

NO... I don't believe there are any marks on the camshaft under the valve cover.

And no... the sprocket should be able to be changed from the camshaft.

so cam sprocket is only choice. I know its removeable but do not know if it is indexed. Are you sure a new sproket will have the timing mark? The guy at the parts department at volvo could not answer that.. do you have a part number?

Accepted Answer

NO... but all you will have to do is just call the dealership to get the part number.

If you look at the diagrams, both of the sprockets have marks on them. So if for some reason you cannot see a mark on the old one, just get a new one.
