10. Remove the oil pump drive spacer.

Hold and remove the flat space of the oil pump drive spacer
by pulling it forward.
11. Remove the oil pump. Refer to LU-13, "
Removal and Installation" .
12. Remove the chain tensioner on the left bank using the following steps.
NOTE:
To remove the timing chain and associated parts, start with those on the left bank. The procedure for
removing parts on the right bank is omitted because it is the same as that for the left bank.
a. Squeeze the return-proof clip ends using suitable tool and push
the plunger into the tensioner body.
b. Secure the plunger using stopper pin.

Stopper pin is made from hard wire approximately 1 mm (0.04
in) in diameter.
c. Remove the bolts and chain tensioner.
WAR NIN G:
Plunger, spring, and spring seat pop out when (squeezing)
return-proof clip without holding plunger head. It may
cause serious injuries. Always hold plunger head when
removing.
NOTE:

Stop the plunger in the fully extended position by using the
return-proof clip 1 if the stopper pin is removed.

Push the plunger 2 into the tensioner body while squeezing
the return-proof clip 1. Secure it using stopper pin 3.
13. Remove the chain tension guide and slack guide.
14. Remove the timing chain and crankshaft sprocket.
15. Loosen the camshaft sprocket bolts as shown and remove the
camshaft sprocket.
CAUTION:
To avoid interference between valves and pistons, do not
turn crankshaft or camshaft when timing chain is discon-
nected.
16. Repeat the same procedure to remove the right timing chain and
associated parts.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check for cracks and any excessive wear at link plates. Replace
chain if necessary.

In the same way as for left bank, inspect timing chain and asso-
ciated parts on right bank.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:

The above figure shows the relationship between the mating mark on each timing chain and that of the
corresponding sprocket, with the components installed.

To install timing chain and associated parts, start with those on the right bank. The procedure for installing
parts on the left bank is omitted because it is the same as that for installation on the right bank.
1. Make sure the crankshaft key and dowel pin of each camshaft
are facing in the direction as shown.

2. Install camshaft sprockets.

Install intake and exhaust camshaft sprocket by selectively
using the groove of dowel pin according to the bank (common
part used for both banks).

Lock the hexagonal part of camshaft in the same way as for
removal, and tighten bolts.
3. Install crankshaft sprockets for both banks.

Install each crankshaft sprocket so that its flange side (the
larger diameter side without teeth) faces in the direction as
shown.
NOTE:
The same parts are used but facing directions are different.
4. Install timing chains and associated parts.

Align the mating mark on each sprocket and the timing chain for installation.
CAUTION:

Before installing chain tensioner, it is possible to change the position of mating mark on tim-
ing chain and each sprocket. After the mating marks are aligned, keep them aligned by hold-
ing them by hand.

Install slack guides and tension guides onto correct side by checking with identification mark on sur-
face.

Install chain tensioner with plunger locked in with stopper pin.
CAUTION:

Before and after the installation of chain tensioner, make sure that the mating mark on timing
chain is not out of alignment.

After installing chain tensioner, remove the stopper pin to release tensioner. Make sure ten-
sioner is released.

To avoid chain-link skipping of timing chain, never move crankshaft or camshafts until front
cover is installed.
5. In the same way as for right bank, install the timing chain and associated parts on the left side.
6. Install the oil pump.
7. Install the oil pump drive spacer as follows:

Install so that the front mark on the front edge of oil pump
drive spacer faces the front of the engine.

Insert oil pump drive spacer according to the directions of the
crankshaft key and the two flat surfaces of oil pump inner
rotor.

If the positional relationship does not allow the insertion,
rotate oil pump inner rotor to allow the oil pump drive spacer
to be inserted.

sponding to the selected notch, put a mating mark (such as
paint) on crankshaft pulley.
14. Rotate crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when
viewed from engine front) to check for parts interference.
15. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order
of removal.M6 × 50 mm (1.97 in) : No. 1, 20, 25, 26, 27
