4. Obtain compression TDC of No. 1 cylinder as follows:
a. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise to align the TDC identifica-
tion notch (without paint mark) with the timing indicator on the

TIMING CHAIN
8. Remove the oil pump drive spacer.• Hold and remove the flat space of the oil pump drive spacer bypulling it forward.
9. Remove the oil pump. Refer to LU-14, "
Removal and Installation".
10. Remove the chain tensioner on the LH bank using the following steps. NOTE:
To remove the timing chain and associated parts, start with those on the LH bank. The procedure for
removing parts on the RH bank is omitted because it is the same as that for the LH bank.
a. Squeeze the return-proof clip ends using suitable tool and push the plunger into the tensioner body.
b. Secure the plunger using stopper pin. • Stopper pin is made from hard wire approximately 1 mm (0.04
in) in diameter.
c. Remove the bolts and chain tensioner.
WARNING:
Plunger, spring, and spring seat pop out when (squeezing)
return-proof clip without holding plunger head. It may
cause serious injuries. Alw ays hold plunger head when
removing.
NOTE:
• Stop the plunger in the fully extended position by using the return-proof clip 1 if the stopper pin is removed.
• Push the plunger 2 into the tensioner body while squeezing
the return-proof clip 1. Secure it using stopper pin 3.
11. Remove the timing chain tension guide and timing chain slack guide.
12. Remove the timing chain and crankshaft sprocket.
13. Loosen the camshaft sprocket bolts as shown and remove the camshaft sprocket.
