TIMING CHAIN INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL CHAIN SUB-ASSEMBLY (for Bank 2)

    Note

    Do not allow any foreign matter to adhere onto or to enter into the component parts during installation.

    Tech Tips

    Apply engine oil to all component parts of the chain sub-assembly.

      *1 Link Plate
      *2 Plunger

      Move the link plate in the direction of the arrow in the illustration to press in the plunger.

      *1 First notch of the plunger rack
      *2 Stopper Tooth

      Insert an approximately 1 mm (0.039 in.) wire or the like into the chain tensioner through the stopper pin hole, and hold the plunger.

      Tech Tips

      If the stopper pin hole on the link plate and the stopper pin hole on the chain tensioner are not aligned, check that the first notch of the plunger rack is engaged with the stopper tooth. If not engaged, retract the plunger a little so that the first notch of the plunger rack is engaged with the stopper tooth.

      *a Alignment Mark
      *b 25° to 30°

      Position the alignment marks on the camshaft timing intake gear assembly LH and camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly LH as shown in the illustration.

      Note

      To avoid damaging the valves, do not turn the camshaft timing intake gear assemblies more than the zero-lift range (the range where camshaft timing intake gear assembles can be turned lightly by hand).

      Install the chain sub-assembly in the following order.


      1. Align the mark plate (grayish blue) on the chain sub-assembly with the alignment mark (oval) on the crankshaft timing gear or sprocket.

      2. Align the mark plate (pink) on the chain sub-assembly with the alignment mark (engraved line) on the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly LH.

      3. Align the mark plate (pink) on the chain sub-assembly with the alignment mark (engraved line) on the camshaft timing intake gear assembly LH.

    6. Apply engine oil to the bolt.

    7. Using a 5 mm hexagon socket wrench, install the No. 1 chain vibration damper with the bolt.

      *a Alignment Mark (Oval)
      *b Alignment Mark (Engraved Line)
      *c Mark plate (Grayish Blue)
      *d Mark plate (Pink)

      Check that the chain is correctly installed.


      1. The mark plate (grayish blue) on the chain sub-assembly is aligned with the alignment mark (oval) on the crankshaft timing gear or sprocket.

      2. The mark plate (pink) on the chain sub-assembly is aligned with the alignment mark (engraved line) on the camshaft timing intake gear assembly LH.

      3. The mark plate (pink) on the chain sub-assembly is aligned with the alignment mark (engraved line) on the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly LH.

    12. Pull out the wire or the like from the No. 2 chain tensioner assembly.

    13. Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley spacer and crankshaft pulley.

    14. Using SST, turn the crankshaft clockwise to make sure that there are no abnormal conditions.
