JEM118G
c. Apply Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent, to areas shown in
the figure.
At the 8 bolt holes marked★, liquid gasket should be
applied on the rims of the holes.
Be sure liquid gasket is 3.5 to 4.5 mm (0.138 to 0.177 in)
or 4.5 to 5.5 mm (0.177 to 0.217 in) wide. (Be careful that

4. 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 pulley.
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.
