1. Install rear chain case.
a. Apply a continuous bead of specified liquid gasket (Refer to
EM-3, “Liquid Gasket Application Procedure”.) on locations
shown in the figure.
A: Apply bead so that it does not protrude into the oil passage.
B, C: Minimize overlapping area of bead, by start and end
areas of bead as shown in the figure. Apply so that the portion
marked * comes at an external location but cannot be viewed
externally after engine assembly.
D: Leave the start and end areas of the bead slightly protrud-
ing from the case surface.
JEM141G
b. Install four O-rings to the grooves of the cylinder block, fuel

JEM138G
c. Install rear chain case.
When installing, align the dowel pin with the pin hole.
d. Tighten bolts in the numerical order shown in the figure.
Install the following four types of bolts, referring to the figure.
16 mm (0.63 in): Bolt No. 1, 2, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22
20mm(0.79in):BoltNo.3,4,6,9,10,11,13,14

2. Install power steering pump.
3. Install fuel injection pump.
Before installing, make sure the notch on the fuel injection
pump flange and the hole 6 mm (0.24 in) in diameter on the
pump body are aligned.
4. Install chain guide and tension guides.
5. Install crankshaft sprocket, aligning it with the crankshaft key
on the far side.
JEM136G
6. Install primary timing chain with fuel injection pump sprocket.
When installing, match the alignment marks on sprockets with
color coded alignment marks (colored links) on the chain.
Install fuel injection pump sprocket washer with the surface
marked “F” (front mark) facing the front of the engine.
7. Install timing chain onto power steering pump sprocket and
through chain guide.
JEM135G
8. Use the positioning stopper pin (SST) to hold the fuel injection
pump sprocket and install the bolt.
Using a TORX wrench (SST), turn the pump shaft little by little
to adjust the position of the pump flange. Insert positioning
stopper pin (SST) into the hole 6 mm (0.24 in) in diameter on
the fuel injection pump sprocket so that the stopper pin goes
through the pump flange to the pump body. While the stopper
pin is in place, install the bolt.
JEM134G
9. Install timing chain slack guide.
10. Install chain tensioner.
Push the plunger of the chain tensioner. While keeping plunger
pressed down with a push pin, etc., install the chain tensioner.
After installation, pull out the push pin holding the plunger.
Check again that the alignment marks on the sprockets
and the colored alignment marks on timing chain are
aligned.
JEM142G
11. Install front oil seal to oil pump.
Using a suitable drift [62 mm (2.44 in) dia.], force fit the seal
until it hits the bottom.
Do not touch lips of oil seal. Make sure seal surfaces are
free of foreign materials.

JEM144G
13. Install oil pump.
a. Apply a continuous bead of specified liquid gasket (Refer to
EM-3, “Liquid Gasket Application Procedure”.) on locations
shown in the figure.
A: Leave the start and end areas of the bead slightly protrud-
ing from the surface.
B: Apply liquid gasket along upper end surface of oil pump.
JEM145G
b. Install oil pump drive spacer to crankshaft.
Install with the front mark (punched mark) facing the front of
the engine.
c. Install O-ring into the groove of rear chain case.
JEM133G

When installing, align the inner rotor in the direction of the two
facing flats of the oil pump drive spacer.
When installing, align the dowel pin with the pin hole.
e. Tighten fixing bolts in the numerical order shown in the figure.
f. After tightening all the bolts, re-tighten in the same order.
JEM146G
14. Check gaps on upper oil pan mounting surface.
Using straightedge and feeler gauge, measure gaps between
the locations of the following parts:
Standard:
Oil pump and rear chain case
–0.14 to 0.14 mm (–0.0055 to 0.0055 in)
Rear chain case and cylinder block
–0.25 to 0.13 mm (–0.0098 to 0.0051 in)
If the measured value is out of the above range, install again.
