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 parts marked in illustration before installation.
REMOVAL
●For preparative work for removing/installing secondary timing chain to remove/install electronic fuel supply
pump. Refer to EM-147, "
FUEL SUPPLY PUMP" .
●To prepare for removing/installing secondary timing chain to remove/install camshaft. Refer to EM-158,
"Removal and Installation" .
1. Remove engine coolant reservoir tank.
2. Remove RH engine mount insulator and bracket. Refer to EM-193, "
Removal and Installation" .
3. Pull power steering reservoir tank out of brackets to move power steering piping.

4. Remove front chain case.
●Loosen fixing bolts in the reverse order of that shown in the
figure and remove them.
●Remove No. 6, 10 and 11 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.
5. 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
supply pump sprocket may not be easy to see.
6. 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.

INSTALLATION
1. Install secondary timing chain.
●When installing, match the alignment marks on sprockets with
color coded alignment marks (colored links) on the chain.
2. Install timing chain tension guide.
●The upper bolt has a longer shank than the lower bolt.
3. Using a hexagon-head wrench [face to face: 6 mm (0.24 in),
SST], install timing chain slack guide.
4. Install chain tensioner.
a. Push the plunger of the chain tensioner. While holding it with a
push pin, install the chain tensioner.
b. Using a hexagon-head wrench [face to face: 5 mm (0.20 in),
SST], tighten bolts.
c. Pull out the push pin, etc. holding the plunger.
●Check again that the alignment marks on the sprockets
and the colored alignment marks on the timing chain are
aligned.
