TIMING CHAIN
Revision: 2005 July 2005 FX
a. Push plunger of timing chain tensioner (secondary) and keep it
pressed in with a stopper pin.
b. Install timing chains (secondary) and camshaft sprockets.

Align the mating marks on timing chain (secondary) (gold link)
with the ones on intake and exhaust camshaft sprockets
(punched), and install them.
NOTE:

Mating marks for intake camshaft sprocket are on the back
side of camshaft sprocket (secondary).

There are two types of mating marks, circle and oval types.
They should be used for the right and left banks, respec-
tively.

Align dowel pin and pin hole on camshafts with the groove
and dowel pin on sprockets, and install them.

On the intake side, align pin hole on the small diameter side of
the camshaft front end with dowel pin on the back side of
camshaft sprocket, and install them.

On the exhaust side, align dowel pin on camshaft front end
with pin groove on camshaft sprocket, and install them.

In case that positions of each mating mark and each dowel
pin are not fit on mating parts, make fine adjustment to the
position holding the hexagonal portion on camshaft with wrench or equivalent.

Mounting bolts for camshaft sprockets must be tightened in the next step. Tightening them by hand is
enough to prevent the dislocation of dowel pins.

It may be difficult to visually check the dislocation of mating
marks during and after installation. To make the matching
easier, make a mating mark on the top of sprocket teeth and
its extended line in advance with paint.
