1. Remove the chain case cover.
2. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to compress
the auto-tensioner. 3. Align the holes on the lock (A) and the auto-
tensioner (B), then insert a 1.2 mm (0.05 in.)
diameter pin or lock pin (P/N 14511-PNA-003) (C)
into the holes. Turn the crankshaft clockwise to
secure the pin.
NOTE: Check the auto-tensioner cam position. If the
position is not aligned, set the first cam to the first
edge of the rack (see step 8 on page 6-22).
4. Remove the auto-tensioner.

1. Install the auto-tensioner.
2. Remove the 1.2 mm (0.05 in.) diameter pin or lockpin (P/N 14511-PNA-003) from the auto-tensioner.
3. Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the chain case cover mating surfaces, the bolts, and the bolt
holes.
4. Clean, and dry the chain case cover mating surfaces. 5. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001,
08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the chain
case mating surface of the chain case cover, and to
the inside edge of the threaded bolt holes. Install
the component within 5 minutes of applying the
liquid gasket.
NOTE: If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be install within 4 minutes.
If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and
residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
6. Install the chain case cover. NOTE: Wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the chain case cover.
Apply liquid gasket
along the broken line.

Cam Chain Inspection
13.5 mm (0.53 in.)
1. Remove the right front wheels.
2. Remove the splash shield (see step 25 on page 5-5).
3. Remove the drive belt (see page 4-31).
4. Remove the cylinder head cover (see page 6-36).
5. Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC). The
punch mark on the variable valve timing control
(VTC) actuator and the punch mark on the exhaust
camshaft sprocket should be at the top. Align the
TDC marks on the VTC actuator and the exhaust
camshaft sprocket (see step 5 on page 6-18).
6. Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor connector and the VTC oil control solenoid valve
connector, and remove the harness clamps (see
step 6 on page 6-18).
7. Remove the VTC oil control solenoid valve (see page 11-294).
8. Remove the crankshaft pulley (see page 6-16).
9. Support the engine with a jack and a wood block under the oil pan.
10. Remove the upper torque rod (see step 10 on page 6-18).
11. Remove the ground cable, then remove the side engine mount bracket (see step 11 on page 6-19).
12. Remove the side engine mount bracket (see step 12 on page 6-19).
13. Remove the cam chain case (see step 13 on page 6-19). 14. Measure the tensioner rod length between the
tensioner body and bottom of the flat surface
section on the tensioner rod. If the length is more
than the service limit, replace the cam chain and
the oil pump chain.
15. Check the chain case oil seal for damage. If the oil seal is damaged, replace the chain case oil seal
(see page 6-31).
16. Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the chain case mating surfaces, bolt and bolt holes.
17. Clean, and dry the chain case mating surfaces.
18. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the engine
block mating surface of the chain case, and to the
inside edge of the threaded bolt holes. Install the
component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid
gasket(seestep17onpage6-24).
NOTE: If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and
residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
19. Apply liquid gasket to the engine block upper surface contact areas on the chain case and lower
block upper surface contact areas on the chain case
(see step 18 on page 6-24).
