Handle O-ring with bare hands. Never wear gloves.
Lubricate O-ring with new engine oil.
Do not clean O-ring with solvent.
Make sure that O-ring and its mating part are free of foreign material.
When installing O-ring, be careful not to scratch it with tool or fingernails. Also be careful not to
twist or stretch O-ring. If O-ring was stretched while it was being attached, do not insert it
quickly into fuel tube.
Insert O-ring straight into fuel tube. Do not angle or twist it.
3. Install the fuel injector to the fuel tube using the following steps.
a. Insert new clip into clip mounting groove on the fuel injector.
Insert clip so that lug “A” of fuel injector matches notch “A” of
the clip.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse clip. Replace it with a new one.
Do not allow the clip to interfere with the O-ring. If
interference occurs, replace the O-ring.
b. Insert the fuel injector into the fuel tube with the clip attached.
Insert it while matching it to the axial center.
Insert fuel injector so that lug “B” of fuel tube matches notch
“B” of the clip.
Make sure that the fuel tube flange is securely fixed in the
flange fixing groove on the clip.
c. Make sure that installation is complete by checking that fuel
injector does not rotate or come off.
Make sure that the protrusions of the fuel injectors are aligned
with the cutouts of the clips after installation.
4. Install the fuel tube and fuel injector assembly to the intake manifold.
CAUTION:
Do not let the tip of the injector nozzle come in contact with other parts.
Tighten fuel tube assembly bolts “a” to “b” in illustration in two
steps.
5. Install the fuel hose assembly.
Insert connectors straight, making sure that the axis is lined up with fuel tube side to prevent O-ring
from being damaged.
Tighten the bolts evenly in several steps.
Make sure that there is no gap between the flange and fuel tube after tightening the bolts.
CAUTION:
Handle O-ring with bare hands. Do not wear gloves.Fuel tube side : Blue

12. Remove the chain tensioner on the left bank using the following steps.
NOTE:
To remove the timing chain and associated parts, start with those on the left bank. The procedure for
removing parts on the right bank is omitted because it is the same as that for the left bank.
a. Squeeze the return-proof clip ends using suitable tool and push
the plunger into the tensioner body.
b. Secure the plunger using stopper pin.
Stopper pin is made from hard wire approximately 1 mm (0.04
in) in diameter.
c. Remove the bolts and chain tensioner.
WAR NIN G:
Plunger, spring, and spring seat pop out when (squeezing)
return-proof clip without holding plunger head. It may
cause serious injuries. Always hold plunger head when
removing.
NOTE:
Stop the plunger in the fully extended position by using the
return-proof clip 1 if the stopper pin is removed.
Push the plunger 2 into the tensioner body while squeezing
the return-proof clip 1. Secure it using stopper pin 3.
13. Remove the chain tension guide and slack guide.
14. Remove the timing chain and crankshaft sprocket.
15. Loosen the camshaft sprocket bolts as shown and remove the
