• When the lever hole is aligned with the body hole position, theplunger is secured.
• When the protrusion parts of the plunger ratchet and the tab face each other, both hole positions are not aligned. At that
time, correctly engage them and align these hole positions by
slightly moving the plunger.
c. Insert the stopper pin (D) into the body hole through the lever hole, and then secure the lever at the upper position.
NOTE:
A hexagonal wrench of 2.5 mm (0.098 in) is used as a stopper pin (D).
d. Remove chain tensioner.
14. Remove the timing chain tension guide (2) and the timing chain slack guide (1).
15. Remove the timing chain (2). • Pull the timing chain slack toward the camshaft sprocket
(EXH) (1), and then remove the timing chain and start the
removal from camshaft sprocket (EXH) side.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft or camshaft while timing chain is
removed. It causes interferen ce between valve and piston.

TIMING CHAIN
a. Install the crankshaft sprocket (1), the oil pump drive chain (2),
and the oil pump sprocket (3) at the same time.
• Install the crankshaft sprocket so that its invalid gear area (A)is toward the back of the engine.
• Install the oil pump sprocket so that its protrusion faces the front of engine.
NOTE:
There is no matching mark in the oil pump drive related parts.
b. Hold the top of the oil pump shaft using the socket (size: E8), and then tighten the oil pump sprocket nut.
c. Install oil pump drive chain tensioner (1). • Insert the body into the shaft (B) while inserting the spring intothe attaching hole (A) of cylinder block front surface.
• Check that the tension is applied to the oil pump drive chain
after installing.
2. Install timing chain:
• Install by aligning matching marks on each sprocket and tim-ing chain.
• If these matching marks are not aligned, rotate the camshaft
slightly to correct the position.
CAUTION:
• After the matching marks are aligned, keep them aligned by holding them.
• To avoid skipped teeth, do not rotate crankshaft and cam- shaft until front cover is installed.

4. Install chain tensioner (1). • Secure the plunger at the most compressed position using a
stopper pin (A), and then install it.
• Pull out the stopper pin after installing the chain tensioner.
5. Check matching mark position of timing chain and each sprocket again.
6. Install the front oil seal to the front cover. Refer to EM-74, "
FRONT OIL SEAL : Removal and Installation".
7. Install front cover with the following procedure:
a. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to the engine block joint locations (A) as shown. Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-22, "
Recommended Chemical Products
and Sealants"
CAUTION:
• Do not confirm torque after the 5 minutes have elapsed.
• Then allow 30 minutes for the liquid gasket to set before
adding oil to the engine.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to front cover as shown using suitable tool. Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-22, "

• Secure crankshaft pulley with a suitable tool and tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
a. Apply new engine oil to thread and seat surfaces of crankshaft pulley bolt.
b. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
c. Put a paint mark (B) on crankshaft pulley, mating with any one of six easy to recognize angle marks (A) on crankshaft bolt flange
(1).
d. Turn another 60 degrees clockwise (angle tightening). • Check the tightening angle with movement of one angle mark.
10. Check that crankshaft turns smoothly by rotating by hand clockwise using suitable tool.
11. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, includi ng engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leaks.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there are no lea ks of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
