Removal and InstallationINFOID:0000000001538821
NOTE:
• To remove timing chain and associated parts, start with those on the LH bank. The procedure for removing
parts on the RH bank is omitted because it is t he same as that for removal on the LH bank.
• To install timing chain and associated parts, start with those on the RH bank. The procedure for installing parts on the LH bank is omitted because it is t he same as that for installation on the RH bank.

b. Apply liquid gasket as shown.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-15, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
c. Check again that the timing alignment marks on the timing chain and on each sprocket are aligned. Then install the front cover.
d. Install the bolts in the numerical order shown.
e. After tightening, re-tighten to the specified torque. CAUTION:
Be sure to wipe off any excessive liquid gasket leaking onto
surface mating with oil pan.
11. Install the Intake valve timing control solenoid valve cover (RH) (A) and Intake valve timing control solenoid valve cover (LH) (B)
as follows:
• *: Cross mark (C) that can not be seen after assembly
a. Apply liquid gasket (D) as shown. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-15, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
CAUTION:
The start and end of the appl ication of the liquid gasket
should be crossed at a positi on that cannot be seen after
attaching the Intake valve timing control solenoid valve cover.
b. Install the bolts in the numerical order shown.
12. Install the crankshaft pulley. • Install the key of the crankshaft.
• Insert the pulley by lightly tapping it.
CAUTION:
Do not tap pulley on the side surface where th e belt is installed (outer circumference).
13. Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt. • Lock the crankshaft using suitable tool, then tighten the bolt.
• Perform the following steps for angular tightening:
