V6 Chain link count no markings
Crank to Bank 1 Intake Cam start between two chain side plates that make up a link and goes to the middle of the 37th side plate. Clean and mark two side plates from that mid point count 37 side plates and mark that 37th plate. The mark on cam gear will go in the middle of the side plate/link. That is 73 "teeth" if you want one more verification. If you want yet one more way then it is 18 3/16 inches or 462.5 mm mark to mark on chain. Bank 1 Intake Cam to Bank to Bank 2 Intake Cam is Bank 1 chain sideplate mid point to the mid point of the 49th side plate. 98 teeth, 24 1/2 inches, 621 mm. The bank1 cam mark is in middle of side plate to the middle of a side plate, effectively 48 links plus 1/2 of a link on Bank 1 plus 1/2 of a link on Bank 2. Share this at will. I wish I could have found the info without buying a chain unnecessarily. "the crank marked should be at about 4:30, about the middle of that groove on oil pump body" and using the cam locking tools can get you cam positioning codes once it is all sealed up and bolted together. The chain is the same for 3.5, 3.5EB, and 3.7. I have not dealt with 2.7EB, 3.0EB, nor the 3.3. The 3.3 is a Cyclone engine family little brother to the 3.5 but I have no info on the chain drive so I can't attest to it using these link counts and dimensions.
