FRONT TIMING CHAIN CASE
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX

Remove old liquid gasket from bolt hole and thread.
29. Use a scraper to remove all traces of liquid gasket from water pump cover, chain tensioner cover and intake valve timing con-
trol covers.
INSTALLATION
1. Install timing chain and related parts. Refer to EM-64, "TIMING CHAIN" .
2. Hammer dowel pins (right and left) into front timing chain case up to a point close to taper in order to shorten protrusion length.
3. Install front oil seal on front timing chain case.

Apply new engine oil to the oil seal lip and dust seal lip.

Install it so that each seal lip is oriented as shown in the fig-
ure.

ii. Since front timing chain case is offset for difference of bolt holes,
tighten bolts temporarily with holding front timing chain case
from front and top as shown in the figure.
For bolt length and positions, refer to the step e.
iii. Same as the step ii, insert dowel pin with holding front timing chain case from front and top completely.
e. Tighten mounting bolts to the specified torque in numerical order as shown in the figure.

There are two type of mounting bolts. Refer to the following
for locating bolts.
f. After all bolts tightened, retighten them to the specified torque in numerical order as shown in the figure.
6. Install two mounting bolts in front of oil pan (upper) in numerical order as shown in figure.
7. Install oil pan (lower). Refer to EM-30, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
8. Install intake valve timing control covers as follows:
a. Install new seal rings in shaft grooves.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with the tube presser [SST: WS39930000 ( — )] to intake valve timing control cov-
ers as shown in the figure.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-48, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND
SEALANTS" .

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean
exhaust system threads using oxygen sensor thread
cleaner (commercial service tool: J-43897-18 or J-43897-12), and apply anti-seize lubricant (com-
mercial service tool).

Do not over torque heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to the heated oxygen sen-
sor, resulting in “MIL” coming on. Limit : 0.3 mm (0.012 in)
