INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Timing Chain
Check timing chain for cracks and any excessive wear at the roller
links of timing chain. Replace timing chain if necessary.
Balancer Unit Mounting Bolt Outer Diameter
Measure the outer diameters (“d1” , “d2” ) at two positions as
shown in the figure.
If reduction appears in “A” range, regard it as “d2 ”.
If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace it
with a new one.

INSTALLATION
NOTE:
The figure shows the relationship between the mating mark on each
timing chain and that on the corresponding sprocket, with the com-
ponents installed.
1. Make sure that crankshaft key points straight up.
2. Tighten mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in figure
with the following procedure, and install balancer unit.
CAUTION:
If mounting bolts are re-used, check their outer diameter
before installation. Refer to EM-48, "
INSPECTION AFTER
REMOVAL" .
a. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of mounting
bolts.
b. Tighten all bolts.
c. Turn all bolts 90 degrees clockwise (angle tightening).
d. Completely loosen.
CAUTION:
In this step, loosen bolts in reverse order as shown in the
figure.
e. Tighten all bolts.
f. Turn them another 90 degrees clockwise (angle tightening).
CAUTION:
Check tightening angle with an angle wrench (special service tool) or a protractor. Do not make
judgment by visual check alone.

TIMING CHAIN
3. Install crankshaft sprocket and balancer unit timing chain.
Make sure that crankshaft sprocket is positioned with mating
marks on cylinder block and crankshaft sprocket meeting at
the top.
Install it by aligning mating marks on each sprocket and bal-
ancer unit timing chain.
4. Install balancer unit timing chain tensioner.
NOTE:
Chain guide and tensioner move freely with the staking pin as
the axle. Therefore, bolt hole position of the three points could
be changed during removal. If points change, temporarily fix the
two mounting bolts on chain guide, and move tensioner to mate
the bolt holes.
Be careful not to let mating marks of each sprocket and timing
chain slip.
After installation, make sure the mating marks have not
slipped, then remove stopper pin and release tensioner
sleeve.
5. Install timing chain and related parts.
Install by aligning mating marks on each sprocket and timing
chain.
Before and after installing chain tensioner, check again to
make sure that mating marks have not slipped.
After installing chain tensioner, remove stopper pin, and make
sure that tensioner moves freely.
CAUTION:
For the following note, after the mating marks are
aligned, keep them aligned by holding them with a
hand.
To avoid skipped teeth, do not rotate crankshaft and
camshaft until front cover is installed.
NOTE:
Before installing chain tensioner, it is possible to change the
position of mating mark on timing chain for that on each
sprocket for alignment.
6. Install front oil seal to front cover. Refer to EM-64, "
Removal and Installation of Front Oil Seal" .
7. Install front cover with the following procedure:
a. Install O-rings to cylinder head and cylinder block.
