NOTE:
To remove timing chain and related parts, start with those on left bank. The procedure for removing parts
on right bank is omitted because it is
the same as that for left bank.
a. Press tab in the direction of arrow (or turn lever in the direction of arrow) to unlock the locking with the groove that stops ten-
sioner plunger from returning.
Lightly press tensioner plunger to release the tension of springfor this operation.
b. Push in tensioner plunger to align the hole on lever and that on pump main body.
Pushing in tensioner too far does not allow the holes to align.Therefore, push in plunger to the degree at which the start of
stopper groove and tab engages.
c. Insert stopper pin [hard wire with approx. 0.5 mm (0.020 in) diameter or similar tool] to fix plunger. With plunger fixed,
remove chain tensioner.
17. Remove chain tension guide and timing chain slack guide.
18. Remove timing chain and crankshaft sprocket. CAUTION:
After removing timing chain, do not turn cranksh aft and camshaft separately, or valves will strike
the piston head.
19. With hexagonal part of camshaft locked with wrench, loosen mounting bolts securing camshaft sprocket to remove camshaft
sprocket.
CAUTION:
Do not loosen mounting bolts with securing anything other
than the camshaft hexagonal porti on or with tensioning the
timing chain.
20. Perform same procedure as for left bank, remove timing chain and related parts on right side.
21. Use scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket from front cover and opposite mating surfaces. Remove oil liquid gasket from bolt hole and thread.
22. Use scraper to remove all trace of liquid gasket from chain tensioner cover and intake valve timing control covers.
