+When installing, color coded links on the secondary tim-
ing chain can be used as alignment marks. Marking may
not be necessary for removal; however, make alignment
marks as required because the alignment mark on fuel
injection pump sprocket may not be easy to see.

Exhaust
0.26 - 0.34 mm (0.0102 - 0.0134 in)
