INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL TIMING CHAIN
(a) After setting the crankshaft at ATDC40±140 °, set cams
of intake and exhaust timing sprockets at ATDC 20 ° and
then the reset the crankshaft at ATDC 20 °.
(b) Install the chain vibration damper with the 2 bolts.
Torque: 9.0 N´m (92 kgf´cm, 80 in.´lbf)
(c) Align the match marks of timing chain mark plate (Yellow),
camshaft timing sprocket, camshaft timing gear and
crankshaft timing sprocket to install the timing chain as
shown in the illustration.
HINT:
To prevent the exhaust camshaft from spring back turn it using
a wrench and set it at the mark on a chain.
(d) Install the chain tensioner slipper.
2. INSTALL CHAIN TENSIONER
(a) While rotating the lock plate of the tensioner up±ward,
push in the plunger of the tensioner as shown in the il-
lustration.
(b) While rotating the lock plate of the tensioner down±ward,
insert a bar of 2.5 mm (0.098 in.) into the holes in the lock
plate.
(c) Install the chain tensioner with the 2 bolts.
Torque: 9.0 N´m (92 kgf´cm, 80 in.´lbf)
(d) Remove the bar from the chain tensioner.
(e) Check that the tension between the intake and exhaust
camshaft timing sprocket.
