7. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC of its compression stroke with the following procedure:
a. Rotate crankshaft pulley (2) clockwise and align TDC mark
(without paint mark) (A) to timing indicator (1) on front cover.
b. Make sure the matching marks on each camshaft sprocket are
positioned as shown.
 If not, rotate crankshaft pulley one more turn to align matching
marks to the positions.
8. Remove crankshaft pulley with the following procedure:
a. Secure crankshaft pulley (1) using a suitable tool (A).
b. Loosen and pull out crankshaft pulley bolts.
CAUTION:
Never remove the mounting bolts as they are used as a sup-
porting point for the pulley puller.

chain after installing.
2. Install timing chain with the following procedure.
 Install by aligning matching marks on each sprocket and tim-
ing chain.
 If these matching marks are not aligned, rotate the camshaft
slightly to correct the position.
CAUTION:
 Check matching mark position of each sprocket and tim-
ing chain again after installing the timing chain, keep
matching marks aligned by holding them with a hand.
 To avoid skipped teeth, never rotate crankshaft and cam-
shaft until front cover is installed.
3. Install timing chain tension guide (2) and timing chain slack
guide (1).
4. Install chain tensioner (1).
 Fix the plunger at the most compressed position using a stop-
per pin (A), and then install it.

9. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt with the following procedure:
 Secure crankshaft pulley with a suitable tool, and tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
a. Apply new engine oil to thread and seat surfaces of crankshaft pulley bolt.
b. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
c. Put a paint mark (B) on crankshaft pulley, mating with any one of
six easy to recognize angle marks (A) on crankshaft bolt flange
(1).
d. Turn another 60 degrees clockwise (angle tightening).
 Check the tightening angle with movement of one angle mark.
10. Make sure that crankshaft turns smoothly by rotating by hand clockwise.
11. Installation is in the reverse order of removal, for the remaining parts.

11. Tighten the mounting bolt.
CAUTION:
 Hold the camshaft hexagonal part (A), and then secure the
camshaft.
 Make sure that the matching mark (marked when timing
chain is removed) and each camshaft sprocket matching
mark are in the correct location.
12. Install camshaft brackets (No. 2 to 5) aligning the identification
marks on upper surface as shown.
 Install so that identification mark can be correctly read when
viewed from the INT side.
13. Tighten mounting bolts of camshaft brackets in the following
steps, in numerical order as shown.
a. Tighten No. 9 to 11 in numerical order.
b. Tighten No. 1 to 8 in numerical order.
c. Tighten all bolts in numerical order.
d. Tighten all bolts in numerical order.

 Check timing chain and oil pump drive chain for cracks (A) and any
excessive wear (B) at the roller links of timing chain.
 Replace timing chain and/or oil pump drive chain if necessary.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
The figure shows the relationship between the matching mark on
each timing chain and that on the corresponding sprocket, with the
components installed.
1. Make sure that crankshaft key points straight up.
NOTE:
*: There are two outer grooves in camshaft sprocket (INT). The wider one is a matching mark.
2. If the timing chain tension guide (front cover side) is removed, install it to the front cover.
CAUTION:
Check the joint condition by sound or feeling.
3. Install crankshaft sprocket (2), oil pump sprocket (3) and oil
pump drive chain (1).
 Install it by aligning matching marks on each sprocket and oil
pump drive chain.
 If these matching marks are not aligned, rotate the oil pump
shaft slightly to correct the position.
CAUTION:
Check matching mark position of each sprocket after
installing the oil pump drive chain.

pump sprocket bolt.
CAUTION:
 Secure the oil pump shaft with the WAF part.
 Never loosen the oil pump sprocket bolt by tightening the
oil pump drive chain.
5. Install chain tensioner (for oil pump) (1).
 Fix the plunger at the most compressed position using a stop-
per pin (A), and then install it.
 Securely pull out ( ) the stopper pin after installing the chain
tensioner (for oil pump).
 Check matching mark position of oil pump drive chain and
each sprocket again.
6. Align the matching marks of each sprocket with the matching
marks of timing chain.
