How do you set the timing on a 99 saturn dohc

 

Why are you trying to set the timing? I think you have other problems. The timing is not manually adjustable like it used to be on distributor type engines.

 

yeah unless you are in the middle of a rebuild

 

im rebuilding the head on it and was wondering how to set the timing on it once i get the head all put back together.

 

Ok, you mean the cam timing.I thought you meant ignition timing to diminish a spark knock or other engine noises. If you are reinstalling the original chain, gears,guides and tensioner, the Haynes manual provides adequate instruction. If it is a new set,it should come with manufacturer specific instructions, or check the Richpin series on You Tube. I just checked and there is no Richpin video on timing chain installation
