ence occurs, replace O-ring.
3. Insert fuel injector into fuel tube with clip attached.
●Insert it while matching it to the axial center.
●Insert fuel injector so that projection B of fuel injector matches
notch B of the clip.

9. Drain engine oil.
10. Remove oil pan upper and lower, and oil strainer. Refer to EM-26, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
11. Remove intake valve timing control cover.
a. Loosen bolts in reverse order shown in the figure.
b. Remove the cover using Tool (Seal cutter).
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage mounting surface.
12. Pull chain guide between camshaft sprockets out through front
cover.
13. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC on its compression stroke with the fol-
lowing procedure.

b. At the same time, make sure that the mating marks on camshaft
sprockets are located as shown in the figure.
●If not, rotate crankshaft pulley one more turn to line up mating
marks to the positions in the figure.
14. Remove crankshaft pulley with the following procedure.
a. Fix crankshaft pulley with a pulley holder, loosen crankshaft pul-
ley mounting bolts, and pull the pulley out by 10 mm (0.3937 in).
b. Attach a pulley puller in the M 6 (0.24 in dia.) thread hole on
crankshaft pulley, and remove crankshaft pulley.
15. Remove front cover with following procedure.
a. Loosen mounting bolts in the reverse order shown in the figure,
and remove them.
b. Using a seal cutter, remove front cover.
CAUTION:

tensioner body to fix chain tensioner and remove it.
●Use wire of 0.5 mm (0.02 in) in diameter as a stopper pin.
b. Secure hexagonal part of camshaft with a tool such as a span-
ner. Loosen camshaft sprocket mounting bolts and remove the
camshaft sprockets.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft or camshaft while timing chain is
removed. It causes interference between valve and piston.
18. Remove chain slack guide, tension guide, chain guide, timing
chain and oil pump drive spacer.
19. Remove timing chain tensioner for balancer unit with the follow-
ing procedure.
a. Lift tensioner lever up, and release ratchet claw for return proof.

2. Tighten mounting bolt in the numerical order shown in the figure
with the following procedure, and install balancer unit.
CAUTION:
When reusing a mounting bolt, check its outer diameter
before installation, Refer to EM-41, "
INSPECTION AFTER
REMOVAL" .
a. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of mounting
bolts.
b. Tighten them to 45.2 to 51.0 N·m (4.6 to 5.2 kg-m, 34 to 37 ft-lb).
c. Turn them another 90 to 95° (Target: 90°).
d. Fully loosen to 0 N·m (0 kg-m, 0 ft-lb).
●Loosen in the reverse order of tightening.
e. Tighten them to 45.2 to 51.0 N·m (4.6 to 5.2 kg-m, 34 to 37 ft-lb).
f. Turn them another 90 to 95° (Target: 90°).
CAUTION:
Check tightening angle with an angle wrench or a protrac-
tor. Do not make judgment by visual check alone.
3. Install crankshaft sprocket and timing chain for balancer unit.
●Make sure that crankshaft sprocket is positioned with mating
marks on block and sprocket meeting at the top.
●Install it by lining up mating marks on each sprocket and tim-
ing chain.
4. Install timing chain tensioner for balancer unit.
NOTE:
Chain guide and tensioner move freely with the caulking 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 the chain guide, and move the 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.

5. Install timing chain and related parts.
●Install by lining up mating marks on each sprocket and timing
chain.
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.
CAUTION:
For the above reason, after the mating marks are aligned,
keep them aligned by holding them with a hand.
●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.
●To avoid skipped teeth, do not move crankshaft and camshaft
until front cover is installed.
6. Install front oil seal to front cover.
●Using a drift of 56 mm (2.20 in) dia, press oil seal in until it is
flush with front end surface of front cover.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to cause damage or burr to circumference of
oil seal.

b. Apply liquid gasket to positions specified in the figure.
Use Genuine Liquid gasket or equivalent.
●Application instruction differs depending on the part.
c. Make sure that mating marks of timing chain and each sprocket
are still aligned. Then install front cover.
CAUTION:
●Do not let air conditioning and power steering piping
interfere with upper part of front cover.
●Be careful not to damage front oil seal by interference
with front end of crankshaft.
