1995-97 Kia 2.0L VIN 1 Engines
The AERA Technical Department offers the following information regarding camshaft and crankshaft timing for 1995-97 Kia 2.0L VIN 1 engines. The camshaft sprocket/pulley for this engine has four markings that may be considered for cam/crank timing. Only one of those markings is correct.
This cam sprocket Part # 0K97212425 has multiple markings to allow use in more than one engine. The correct marking for this engine is the #2 as shown in Figure 1 below.
If the sprocket was removed from the camshaft for correct installation note the 12? o?clock positioning of the cam dowel pin. To secure the sprocket on the cam, hold the cam in position with the use of a nut driver and tighten the lock bolt to 42 ft/lbs (56 Nm) as shown in Figures 2 & 3 below.
The crankshaft sprocket should be positioned as shown in Figure 4 below.
