Removal
CAUTION!
After timing chain is removed, never turn
crankshaft and camshafts independently
more than its allowable turning range
described in “Installation”.
If turned, interference may occur between
piston and valves and valves themselves,
and parts related to piston and valves may be
damaged.

1) Remove timing chain cover referring to “Timing
Chain Cover Removal and Installation”.
2) By turning crankshaft, align camshafts and
crankshaft at specific position as follows.
a) Align both intake and exhaust camshaft timing
sprocket marks (1) with notches (2) of cylinder
head respectively.
b) Position crankshaft sprocket key (3) at upside of
crankshaft as shown in figure.
3) Remove timing chain tensioner adjuster assembly
(5).4) Remove timing chain tensioner (6).
5) Remove timing chain No.1 guide (7).
6) Remove timing chain (8) with crankshaft timing
sprocket (9).

Installation
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.

1) Check that match marks (1) on intake and exhaust
camshaft 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 to camshaft timing sprockets as
follows.
• For engine with VVT
Install timing chain by aligning dark blue plates (1)
of timing chain and triangle mark (2) on camshaft
timing sprockets.
• For engine without VVT
Install timing chain by aligning dark blue plates (1)
of timing chain and circle mark (5) on intake
camshaft timing sprocket and triangle mark (5) on
exhaust camshaft timing sprocket.
4) Fit crankshaft timing sprocket to timing chain by
aligning gold plate (3) of timing chain and circle mark
(4) on crankshaft timing sprocket. Then install
crankshaft timing sprocket fitted with chain to
crankshaft.
“a”: 90°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.
“b”: 15°5. Crankshaft allowable turning range.
By key on crankshaft, within 90° from top on both right and left.

CAUTION!
• Keep working table, tools and hands clean
while overhauling.
• Use special care to handle aluminum parts
so as not to damage them.
• Do not expose removed parts to dust.
Keep them always clean.

Removal
1) Remove timing chain cover referring to “Timing
Chain Cover Removal and Installation”.
2) Remove timing chain referring to “Timing Chain and
Chain Tensioner Removal and Installation”.
3) For engine with VVT, with hexagonal section (1) of
intake camshaft (2) held stationary with spanner or
the like, loosen mounting bolt of intake cam timing
sprocket assembly (3) and remove it.
CAUTION!
Never attempt to loosen mounting bolt with
intake cam timing sprocket assembly held
stationary. Failure to follow this could result
in damage to lock pin.
Do not loosen bolt “a” because intake cam
timing sprocket assembly is not serviceable.

4) Loosen camshaft housing bolts in such order as
indicated in figure and remove them.
5) Remove camshaft housings.
6) Remove intake and exhaust camshafts.
7) For engine with VVT, remove camshaft bearings (1).
