[DelCharles]

To align the timing chain on a Chevrolet Cruze, follow these steps: 1. Rotate the engine crankshaft to position the No. 1 cylinder piston at top dead center (TDC) and secure it; 2. Align the timing mark on the camshaft gear with the timing mark on the chain and fix it; 3. Install the crankshaft drive sprocket and ensure the timing mark on the chain aligns with the mark on the sprocket; 4. Verify that the three timing marks on the timing chain correspond with the two timing marks on the camshaft sprocket and the one timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket. The Chevrolet Cruze is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with the following dimensions: length 4666mm, width 1807mm, height 1460mm, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.
