Primary Timing Chain
1 Remove the right-hand secondary timing chain, refer to Right-hand Secondary Timing Chain in this Section.
2 Remove the two primary timing chain tensioner bolts (1), and remove the tensioner (2).
NOTE
Take care when removing the tensioner bolts.
The tensioner plunger is subjected to spring
tension and may spring apart during tensioner
removal.
Figure 6A1 – 112
3 Remove the gasket (1) from the tensioner (2) and discard the gasket.
4 Inspect the primary timing chain tensioner mounting surface on the engine block for burrs or any defects
that would affect the sealing of a new tensioner
gasket.
