Timing Chain and Chain Tensioner
REMOVAL
1) Remove timing chain cover referring to “Timing Chain
Cover”.
2) Align both intake and exhaust camshaft timing sprocket
marks (1) with notches (2) of cylinder head respectively by
turning crankshaft.
3) Remove timing chain tensioner adjuster assembly (3).
4) Remove timing chain tensioner (4).
5) Remove timing chain No.1 guide (5).
6) Remove timing chain (6) with crankshaft timing sprocket (7).
1. Crankshaft timing sprocket 5. Timing chain tensioner adjuster assembly Tightening torque
2. Timing chain 6. Chain tensioner adjuster mounting bolt Apply engine oil to sliding surface.
3. Timing chain No.1 guide 7. Chain tensioner mounting bolt
4. Timing chain tensioner 8. Chain guide mounting bolt
CAUTION:
After timing chain is removed, never turn crankshaft and
camshafts independently more than its allowable turning
range described in “INSTALLATION” section.
If turned, interference may occur between piston and
valves and valves themselves, and parts related to piston
and valves may be damaged.

timing sprockets are in match with notches (2) on cylinder
head as shown in figure.
2) Set key (3) and turn crankshaft to position key on upside of
crankshaft.
3) Install timing chain by aligning dark blue plate (1) of timing
chain and mark (2) on camshaft timing sprocket and then
aligning dark blue plate (3) and triangle mark (4) as shown in
figure.
4) Fit crankshaft timing sprocket to timing chain by aligning gold
plate (5) of timing chain and mark (6) on crankshaft timing
sprocket. Then install crankshaft timing sprocket fitted with
chain to crankshaft.
5) Apply engine oil to sliding surface of timing chain No.1 guide
(1) and install it as shown in figure.
Tighten guide bolts to specified torque.

(a) : 9 N·m (0.9 kg-m, 6.5 lb-ft) CAUTION:
After timing chain is removed, never turn crankshaft and
camshafts independently more than such an extent (“a”,
“b”) as shown in figure.
If turned, interference may occur between piston and
valves and valves themselves, and parts related to piston
and valves may be damaged.
“a” :90°5. Crankshaft allowable turning range.
By key on crankshaft, within 90° from top on both right and left.
“b” :15°4. Camshaft (IN and EX) allowable turning range.
By marks on camshaft timing sprocket within 15° from notches on
cylinder head on both right and left.

(a) : 22 N·m (2.2 kg-m, 16.0 lb-ft)
7) Check that match marks (1) on intake and exhaust camshaft
timing sprockets are in match with dark blue plates (2) of tim-
ing chain and match mark (3) on crankshaft timing sprocket
is in match with gold plate (4) of timing chain.
8) Screw in plunger (1) by turning timing chain tensioner
adjuster (2) in arrow direction and install a retainer (3) (wire)
to hold plunger in place.
9) Install timing chain tensioner adjuster assembly (1) with a
retainer (2).
Tighten adjuster bolts to specified torque and then remove a
retainer from chain tensioner adjuster assembly.

10) Apply engine oil to timing chain and then turn crankshaft
clockwise by 2 revolutions and check that match marks (1)
on intake and exhaust camshaft timing sprockets are in
match with notches (2) on cylinder head and key (3) is on
upside of crankshaft as shown in figure.
If each mark of timing chain and each match mark are no
matches, adjust each sprocket and timing chain.
11) Install timing chain cover referring to “Timing Chain Cover” in
this section.
12) Perform Steps 3) to 8) of “INSTALLATION” of “Timing Chain
Cover” in this section.
