Then tighten in the same order to the torque stated.
4. The torque of the installation bolts will differ depending on
position.
Measurement below the neck of the installation bolt:
40 mm (1.57 in) (Bolt No. 15, 17 in the figure)
50 mm (1.97 in) (Bolt No. 21 in the figure)
20 mm (Others)
5. Install in the reverse order of removal.

REMOVAL
1. Remove the following parts.
+Radiator under side
+Radiator shroud
+Cooling fan
+Chain cover front side
+A/T cooler hose (Disconnect)
+Vacuum hose
+Intercooler cover (When removing vacuum tank)
2. Remove the installation bolts and pull the vacuum pump from
the engine front directly.
3. If it is difficult to remove from the spline shaft connection, tap
lightly with a plastic hammer.

INSPECTION
1. Remove the vacuum hose. Connect the vacuum gauge
through the 3-way connector. Otherwise, remove the welch
valve of the vacuum pipe and attach the vacuum gauge
directly. (The illustration shows the second method.)
+Remove an appropriate part to measure the vacuum pump
load pressure directly and install the vacuum gauge. Refer to
the figure.
2. Start the engine, and measure the load pressure with the
engine idling.
Vacuum pressure:
Standard
þ93.3 to þ101.3 kPa (þ933 to þ1,013 mbar, þ700 to
þ760 mmHg, þ27.56 to þ29.92 inHg)
3. If outside the standard value, make sure that there is no
intake of air within the circuit and measure again.
4. Replace the vacuum pump if still outside the standard value.
INSTALLATION
+Install in the reverse order of removal.

Removal and Installation
CAUTION:
As the internal mechanism of the idler gear must first of all,
and always, be set by a bolt when removing the timing chain
before removing the fuel injection pump and timing gear,
follow the procedures on EM-1039, ªRemoval of timing
chain after setting idler gearº, ªElectronic controlled fuel
injection pumpº.
+This chapter will deal with the summary of removing the tim-
ing chain before removing the camshaft and cylinder head.
Removal
1. Remove the following parts.
+Engine cover
+Intercooler
+Air inlet pipe
+Throttle body
+Rocker cover
+Spill tube
+Coolant (Drain)
+Radiator upper hose
+Water outlet
+Radiator shroud
+Cooling fan
+Auxilary belt

+Vacuum pipe
+Vacuum pump
2. Move the following parts.
+TDC sensor harness
+Power steering oil pump
3. Remove the chain cover.
+Remove the holding bolts A to C shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
While the chain cover is removed, be careful not to allow
entry of dust or foreign objects.
4. Set the No. 1 cylinder to the TDC.
1) Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise, and match the timing
indicator of the gear case to the timing mark of the crankshaft
pulley.
2) Make sure that the cam sprocket match mark is in the posi-
tion shown in the figure.
+If the match mark is not in position, turn the crankshaft pul-
ley once more and position it.
+When removing at No. 1 cylinder TDC, each sprocket and
chain is fitted using the match mark, therefore there is no
need to apply any match marks beforehand.
5. Remove the chain tensioner.
1) Loosen upper and lower holding bolts.
2) Holding the chain tensioner in your hand, remove the upper
holding bolt and release the spring tension.
3) Remove the lower holding bolt, then remove the chain ten-
sioner.
+The chain tensioner does not have a mechanism which pre-
vents the ejection of the plunger. (It does have a mechanism
which prevents the plunger from returning.)
CAUTION:
Be careful not to drop the plunger and spring.

6. Remove the timing chain slack guide.
7. Remove the timing chain with cam sprocket.
+Loosen the cam sprocket holding bolt by fixing the hexago-
nal portion of the intake manifold side camshaft with a
spanner, etc.
+If the spill tube is not removed, fix the hexagonal portion of
the exhaust manifold side camshaft.
CAUTION:
Do not loosen the holding bolt by using the tension of the
chain.
8. Remove the timing chain tension guide.
Installation
1. Install the timing chain tension guide.
2. Install the cam sprocket and the timing chain together.
+Install by aligning the sprocket and timing chain match
marks.
+Tighten the cam sprocket holding bolt by fixing the hexago-
nal portion of the camshaft.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten in the holding bolt using the tension of the
chain.
3. Install the timing chain slack guide.
CAUTION:
When the holding bolt is tightened to the specified torque,
there is a gap between the guide and bolt. Do not over-
tighten.
4. Install the chain tensioner.
1) With the chain tensioner in the position shown in the figure
(with the plunger on the outer side), temporarily tighten the
holding bolt.
2) Press the plunger into the tensioner body while pressing on
the clips which prevent the plunger from returning.
3) Install the upper side holding bolt while holding the plunger
down with your finger and rotating it 180 degrees.
4) Tighten the holding bolt to the specified torque.
5. Install the chain cover.
1) Before installing chain cover, remove all traces of liquid gas-
ket from mating surface using a scraper.
2) Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to chain cover.
+Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
a. Coat of liquid gasket should be maintained within 2.0 to
3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in) dia. range.
b. Attach chain cover to gear case within 5 minutes after
coating.
c. Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil or
starting engine.
