Timing mark of suzuki engine m13a twincam fitted with timing chain

Look for the mark a dot on the gears the dots should align with a mark on the engine casing right above the gears.

The Suzuki Motor Corporation makes all the M series engines for the Suzuki range.

WOW you work on engines not knowing what is there?
the engines are: 7 engines.!!!
1.3 L I4; 1.5 L I4; 1.6 L I4; 1.8 L I4; 2.0 L I4; 2.3 L I4; 1.4 L Diesel I4 ill guess, ( (die roll)
2.3 L below.

all answers, USA cars, this a USA forum. so.....
ever heard of the FSM the oem factory service manual?

is the chain making noises? if yes, the guide is bad, most chains fail due to that (as a true cause)
the FSM is here , just $4 to look , so ????

the clone is Alldata.com DIY, log in and read like we do.
google alldtata.com , bingo....

now the 2.3L (just the first half, ill let you pay $4 like we do)

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions Section.
2. Remove engine assembly from vehicle.
3. Remove oil pan.
4. Remove cylinder head cover.
5. Remove timing chain cover as follows:
   • Remove crankshaft pulley bolt. To lock crankshaft pulley, use special tool 09917-68221 (camshaft pulley holder).
   • Remove crankshaft pulley. To remove crankshaft pulley, use special tools 09944-36011 and 09926-58010 (steering wheel remover and bearing puller attachment).
   • Remove A/C compressor bracket.
   • Remove alternator belt idler pulley, water pump pulley and alternator belt tensioner.
   • Remove timing chain cover bolts and nut.
   • For reinstallation of timing chain, turn crankshaft so that timing marks on cylinder head and lower crankcase match with those on sprockets as shown in figure.
   • Remove second timing chain as follows:
     
     • Turn crankshaft to meet following conditions.
       
       • Key (I) on crankshaft is positioned as shown.
       • Arrow mark on idler sprocket (II) points upward.
       • Marks on sprockets (III) match with marks on cylinder head. Note that this step must be followed for reinstallation of timing chain.
     • Remove timing chain tensioner adjuster No.2 and gasket. To remove them, slacken second timing chain by turning intake camshaft counterclockwise a little while pushing back pad.
     • Remove intake and exhaust camshaft timing sprocket bolts. To remove them, fit a spanner to hexagonal part at the center of camshaft to hold it stationary.
     • Remove camshaft timing sprockets and second timing chain.
     • warning
     • After second timing chain is removed, never turn intake camshaft, exhaust camshaft and crankshaft independently more than such an extent as shown. If turned, interference may occur between piston and valves and valves themselves, and parts related to piston and valves may be damaged.
     • Remove timing chain guide No.1.
     • Remove timing chain tensioner adjuster No.1.
     • Remove timing chain tensioner.
     • Remove idler sprocket and first timing chain.
     • Remove crankshaft timing sprocket.
     • end.
   im not doing INSTALL, sorry.

got that? also there are a hole section on details of gasket seals and such, nothing trivial that.

which engine, there are like 6 engines used world wide.
and country , this is a USA CALIF forum so if you live in
say japan and ask us, you get wrong answers, see why?
here is the list of engines used in Gen 2 cars
1.2 L I4 (petrol)
1.3 L M13A I4 (petrol)
1.5 L M15A I4 (petrol)
1.6 L M16A I4 (petrol)
1.3 L I4 (diesel) It was produced in Hungary, India, Japan, Pakistan and by Chang'an Motors in China.

some even have FIAT engines, so...... what engine do you have.

wow no job stated.
04 (2.3L) ill take a wild guess and say, you might be fiddling the cam
and doing something there, new cam, new lifters, new chain, new head, ? what?
FSM means factory service manual, ever heard of one?

the FSM is just lousy 4 bucks why not read that first. and not mess it up.

for the best solution of your problem visit this link

Diesel or GASoline, they offered 2 engines 1.3L
google answers that.
one way to find this (besides a goggle search (worked for me 100x)
besides a real FSM or alldata.com look in 1min. flat. is.....
is to learn which of the 56 Suz engines you have.
the WIKI says, its a M13A
armed with that key fact, you can find out anything on that engine.
one way is to read the GATES belt page, see if they sell a belt.
looks like chain

check around the inside (towards the block) edge or crank shaft pulley by the lower passenger side of the engine. Otherwise it will be by that pulley on the bloc, those are the only laces I've known them to be. Hope it helps

Chain drive. Unless the engine's been apart, why would the cam/valve timing change?
Valve clearances are another matter, and unless you want to remove the camshafts, get a mechanic who has the proper Suzuki tool to do them for you. You can measure the clearances, but the shims are between the cam lobe and the valve bucket, and the special tool holds the bucket down whilst changing to a thicker or thinner shim.
