2000 Volvo S80 2.9 Cam Out of Place
2000 Volvo S80 2.9 6Cyl
Hi, I own a mechanic shop and one of my techs forgot to place mark on the camshaft before separating it from the gear. The Rear camshaft and gear is in its correct place but the front one is out. We don't know what the correct position for the front cam at all. Does anyone have any instructions or pictures of what the front cam looks like in the correct position without the gear on it. If pictures are available, it would be great if the a picture from the top and both sides was available. Thank you.
Basically, the gears were removed without locking the cams. Now we're stuck.

Once the rear of the cams are aligned, the front sprockets really don't matter. The reason they put marks on the cam sprockets is to let you know the cams are aligned to the proper location. Once the actual cams are aligned you can put the cam sprockets on and make your own new marks.
When you get a new cam sprocket, it has no marks on it. You should make sure the cams are aligned and locked (so it doesn't move), then bolt the sprocket on and file a mark on it to match the cover mark. From then on, the cam is aligned when the sprocket mark is aligned with the cover.

Unless the car has CVVT...
The notch is for the reluctor for the cam position sensor. Its so it cannot be installed incorrectly. It is not for timing.
