89 GP 3.1 timing mark for replacing timing chain
Before I replace the timing chain which is broken, I'd like to get the engine to #1 TDC before removing everything. However, I don't see any kind of mark on the front cover to line up the crankshaft pulley. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

According to my '89 Grand Prix service manual, the marks are not on the cover but on the sprocket themselves.

Re: 89 GP 3.1 timing mark for replacing timing chain
Thanks. After I took the cover off, i found a chunk of it missing with parts of it falling into the oil pan. The car is not worth fixing anymore. I do have a great set of 205/65/15 on it. Any takers? I'm just going to part it out.

It depends on the price, should list it in the classifieds if want you want to sell.

Re: 89 GP 3.1 timing mark for replacing timing chain
Why not just throw a new chain, sprockets, and tensioner on there?
I'm sure you'll be able to get it going.

Re: 89 GP 3.1 timing mark for replacing timing chain
She's a little rough. Best thing about it the moonroof and tires. Typical Chicago rust, minor dents...
