Camshaft Sprocket Service for 1994 Chrysler 2.0L DOHC Engines

The camshaft sprockets on Chrysler 2.0L DOHC engines built Aug. 1, 1994
through Oct. 31, 1994 may have two timing marks on the side of
each sprocket (see Figure 1).

Engine damage may result from incorrect installation of either camshaft sprocket after an engine repair.

It is important that the correct timing mark is used when setting the
cam timing. If the wrong timing mark is used, the valves may come into
contact with the pistons resulting in engine damage.

The engine build date code is located on the right rear area of the valve cover.

Some or all of this information was provided by the Automotive
Parts Remanufacturers Association (APRA). For more information on

Factors of Crankshaft Selection

From the high-performance powerplants propelling Top Fuel dragsters to the subdued engines found in family sedans and grocery getters, each crank must be tailored to, and appropriate for, its specific application.

We know a crankshaft plays a critical role in an engine’s performance, converting reciprocating motion into rotary motion while serving as the backbone of the entire system. It must be strong enough to withstand the continuous pounding of rods and pistons, yet possess enough elasticity to absorb vibrations and flex, albeit slightly, when needed.
