WATER PUMP


Check for rough operation due to excessive end play.

Replace water pump, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
1. Install new O-rings to water pump.

Apply engine oil and engine coolant to O-rings as shown in
the figure.

Locate O-ring with white paint mark to engine front side.
2. Install water pump.
CAUTION:
Do not allow timing chain case to nip O-rings when install-
ing water pump.

Make sure that timing chain and water pump sprocket are
engaged.

Insert water pump by tightening mounting bolts alternately
and evenly.
3. Install the timing chain tensioner (primary) with the following procedure:
a. Pull plunger stopper tab up (or turn lever downward) so as to
remove plunger stopper tab from the ratchet of plunger.
NOTE:
Plunger stopper tab and lever are synchronized.
b. Push plunger into the inside of tensioner body.
c. Hold plunger in the fully compressed position by engaging
plunger stopper tab with the tip of ratchet.
d. To secure lever, insert stopper pin through hole of lever into ten-
sioner body hole.

The lever parts and the tab are synchronized. Therefore, the
plunger will be secured under this condition.
NOTE:
Figure shows the example of 1.2 mm (0.047 in) diameter thin screwdriver being used as the stopper pin.

marks on cylinder block and crankshaft sprocket meeting at
the top.

Install balancer unit timing chain by aligning mating marks on
each sprocket and balancer unit timing chain.
4. Install balancer unit timing chain tensioner.
NOTE:
Chain guide and tensioner move freely with staking pin as the
axle. Therefore, bolt hole position of the three points could be
changed during removal. If points change, temporarily fix the
two mounting bolts on chain guide, and move tensioner to mate
the bolt holes.

Be careful not to let mating marks of each sprocket and timing
chain slip.

After installation, make sure the mating marks have not
slipped, then remove stopper pin and release tensioner
sleeve.
5. Install timing chain and related parts.

Install by aligning mating marks on each sprocket and timing
chain.

Before and after installing chain tensioner, check again to
make sure that mating marks have not slipped.

After installing chain tensioner, remove stopper pin, and make
sure that tensioner moves freely.
CAUTION:

For the following note, after the mating marks are
aligned, keep them aligned by holding them with a
hand.

To avoid skipped teeth, do not rotate crankshaft and
camshaft until front cover is installed.
NOTE:
Before installing chain tensioner, it is possible to change the
position of mating mark on timing chain for that on each
sprocket for alignment.
6. Install front oil seal to front cover. Refer to EM-63, "
Removal and Installation of Front Oil Seal" .

At the same time, install RH engine mounting bracket. (Bolt
positions 1 to 4 in the figure)
e. After all bolts are tightened, retighten them to specified torque in
numerical order as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Be sure to wipe off any excessive liquid gasket leaking to
surface for fitting oil pan (upper).
8. Install chain guide between camshaft sprockets.
9. Install intake valve timing control cover with the following procedure:
a. Install oil rings to the camshaft sprocket (INT) insertion points on backside of intake valve timing control
cover.

tion and the end.
Detail of B : Apply liquid gasket outside of bolt
holes. (For all bolt holes other than
B, apply to the inside.)

12. Install all removed parts in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in the guide may
generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after
hydraulic pressure rises.
