Secondary Timing Chain
CAUTION:
+After removing timing chain, do not turn crankshaft and
camshaft separately, or valves will strike piston heads.
+When installing camshafts, chain tensioners, oil seals,
or other sliding parts, lubricate contacting surfaces with
new engine oil.
+Apply new engine oil to bolt threads and seat surfaces
when installing camshaft sprockets, crankshaft pulley,
and camshaft brackets.
+Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
REMOVAL
+For preparative work for removing/installing secondary timing
chain to remove/install fuel injection pump, refer to EC
section, ªElectronic control fuel injection pumpº.
+To prepare for removing/installing secondary timing chain to
remove/install camshaft, refer to EM-3047, ªCAMSHAFTº.
1. Drain engine oil.
2. Drain coolant by removing cylinder block drain plugs. Refer
to LC section, ªChanging Engine Coolantº.

6. Remove front chain case.
+Move power steering fluid reservoir tank from the bracket.
+Loosen fixing bolts in the reverse order of that shown in the
figure and remove them.
+Remove all bolts with the rubber washer as space is limited
for pulling them out.
CAUTION:
+While front chain case is removed, cover openings to
prevent entry of foreign material into engine.
+Do not remove two mass dampers on the back of cover.
7. Set the No. 1 piston to TDC on its compression stroke.
+Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise so that the alignment mark
(punched mark) on each camshaft sprocket is positioned as
shown in the figure.
+No position indicator is provided on the crankshaft pul-
ley.
+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.
8. Remove chain tensioner.
a. Push the plunger of chain tensioner and keep it pressed with
a push pin.
b. Using a hexagon-head wrench [face to face: 5 mm (0.20 in),
SST], remove bolts to remove chain tensioner.

1. Install rear chain case.
a. Apply a continuous bead of specified liquid gasket (Refer to
EM-3003, ªLiquid Gasket Application Procedureº.) on loca-
tions shown in the figure.
A: Apply bead so that it does not protrude into the oil pas-
sage.
B, C: Minimize overlapping area of bead, by start and end
areas of bead as shown in the figure. Apply so that the por-
tion 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.
b. Install four O-rings to the grooves of the cylinder block and
fuel injection pump bracket.
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
20 mm (0.79 in): Bolt No. 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14
25 mm (0.98 in): Bolt No. 12, 15
35 mm (1.38 in): Bolt No. 5, 7, 8

2. Install vacuum 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.
3. Install chain guide and tension guides.
4. Install crankshaft sprocket, aligning it with the crankshaft key
on the far side.

chain guide.
7. Use the positioning stopper pin (SST) to hold the fuel injec-
tion pump sprocket and install the bolt for mounting the
sprocket.
+Using a TORX wrench (SST), turn the pump shaft little by
little to adjust the position of the pump flange. Insert position-
ing stopper pin (SST) into the hole 6 mm (0.24 in) in diam-
eter 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.
8. Install timing chain slack guide.
9. Install chain tensioner.
+Push the plunger of the chain tensioner. While keeping
plunger pressed down with a push pin, etc., install the chain
