d. Hold plunger in the fully compressed position by engaging
plunger stopper tab with the tip of ratchet.
e. To secure lever, insert stopper pin through hole of lever into ten-
sioner body hole.
The lever parts and the tab are synchronized. Therefore, the
plunger will be secured under this condition.
NOTE:
Figure shows the example of 1.2 mm (0.047 in) diameter thin screwdriver being used as the stopper pin.
f. Install timing chain tensioner (primary).
Remove dust and foreign material completely from backside of timing chain tensioner (primary) and
from installation area of rear timing chain case.
g. Remove stopper pin.
h. Make sure again that timing chain and water pump sprocket are engaged.
4. Install chain tensioner cover and water pump cover as follows:
a. Before installing, remove all traces of old liquid gasket from mat-
ing surface of water pump cover and chain tensioner cover
using scraper. Also remove traces of old liquid gasket from the

PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS" .
6. Install in the reverse order of removal for remaining parts.
After starting engine, let idle for three minutes, then rev engine up to 3,000 rpm under no load to
purge air from the high-pressure chamber of chain tensioner. Engine may produce a rattling
noise. This indicates that air still remains in the chamber and is not a matter of concern.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check for leaks of engine coolant using the radiator cap tester adapter [SST: EG17650301 (J33984-A)]
and the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-11, "
LEAK CHECK" .
Start and warm up the engine. Visually make sure that there is no leaks of engine coolant.
