Hi, I'm working on my kid's car. While I have done a timing chain replacement before on my wife's car, I can't seem to find any diagrams, on the 3.5 engine for this car, just for the 3.6. I was wondering if you had any info on how to do this job from start to finish. Like pictures or a video.

Hi,

This is an easy one to replace. The worst part is getting to it. LOL

As far as replacing the timing chain, I attached the directions below specific to this vehicle and the 3.5L. Note that the first four pics below are the removal instructions. The remaining pics are for installing it. The timing marks are included.

Let me know if this helps or if you need anything other.

Take care,

Joe
