area (locations where rear chain case is adjoined) as shown in
the figure.
lUse Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
c. Install front chain case.
lWhen installing, align dowel pin on oil pump housing with the pin hole.
lInstall No. 6, 10 and 11 bolts with the rubber washer to front chain case.
d. Tighten fixing bolts in numerical order shown in the figure.
e. After tightening all the bolts, re-tighten in the same order.
6. Hereafter, install in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.
lBefore starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer toMA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS".
lUse procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
lRun engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
lWarm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.
lBleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
lAfter cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.

CAUTION:
lAfter removing timing chain, do not turn crankshaft and camshaft separately, or valves will strike
piston heads.
lWhen installing camshafts, chain tensioners, oil seals or other sliding parts, lubricate contacting
surfaces with new engine oil.

10. Remove crankshaft gear.
lRemove crankshaft gear (1) with the following procedure
(4WD models).
a. Make sure that No.1 piston is TDC on its compression stroke.
b. Turn the idler sub gear (3) counterclockwise with snap ring plier
(B) or suitable tool for aligning idler sub gear (3) and idler main
gear (2).
lIf idler gear rotates, hold the flat faces on balancer drive shaft
front end (4).
c. Install internal mechanism securing bolt and plate (Service part:
13012 EB30A and 13013 EB30A) (A) and tighten to the speci-
fied torque.
CAUTION:
lDo not loosen idler gear mounting bolt (5).
lOnly use the genuine internal mechanism securing bolt
and plate (A), or the idler gear (2) and (3) will be damaged.
lDo not remove internal mechanism securing bolt and
plate (A) from idler gear (2) and (3) until crankshaft gear
(1) and all of the parts in connection have been installed.
lIf internal mechanism securing bolt and plate (A) is not
installed, internal mechanism of idler gear (2) and (3) will
disengage after crankshaft gear (1) is removed. This will prohibit the balancer unit from being
reusable.
d. Apply mating marks (C) to crankshaft gear (1) and idler sub gear (3).
e. Remove crankshaft gear (1).
11. Remove front oil seal from oil pump housing.
lPunch out the seal off from the back surface of the oil pump housing using a flat-bladed screwdriver.
