WARNING:
Be sure to perform when the engine is stopped.
1. Remove air duct and resonator assembly when inspecting drive belt.
2. Make sure that indicator (single line notch) of eac
h auto tensioner is within the allowable working range
(between three line notches).
NOTE:
• Check the drive belt auto tensioner indication when the engine is cold.
• The indicator notch is located on the moving side of the drive belt auto tensioner.
3. Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
4. If the indicator is out of allowable working range or belt is damaged, replace the belt. Refer to EM-13
.
DRIVE BELT TENSION
There is no manual drive belt tension adjustment. The driv e belt tension is automatically adjusted by the drive

FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE
• Lubricate O-ring with new engine oil.
• Do not clean O-ring with solvent.
• Make sure that O-ring and its mating part are free of foreign material.
• When installing O-ring, be careful not to scratch it with tool or fingernails. Also be careful not to
twist or stretch O-ring. If O-ring was stretc hed while it was being attached, do not insert it
quickly into fuel tube.
• Insert O-ring straight into fuel tube. Do not angle or twist it.
3. Install fuel injector to fuel tube.
a. Insert clip into clip mounting groove on fuel injector. • Insert clip so that lug “A” of fuel injector matches notch “A” ofthe clip.
CAUTION:
• Do not reuse clip. Replace it with a new one.
• Be careful to keep clip from interfering with O-ring. Ifinterference occurs, replace O-ring.
b. Insert fuel injector into fuel tube with clip attached. • Insert it while matching it to the axial center.
• Insert fuel injector so that lug “B” of fuel tube matches notch
“B” of the clip.
• Make sure that fuel tube flange is securely fixed in flange fixing groove on clip.
c. Make sure that installation is complete by checking that fuel injector does not rotate or come off.
• Make sure that protrusions of fuel injectors are aligned withcutouts of clips after installation.
4. Install fuel tube and fuel injector assembly to intake manifold. CAUTION:
Be careful not to let tip of injector nozzle come in contact with other parts.
• Tighten fuel tube assembly bolts “a” to “b” in illustration and in
two steps.
5. Install fuel hose assembly. • Follow the precautions for fuel injector when handling O-ring.
• Insert connectors straight, making sure that the axis is lined up with fuel tube side to prevent O-ring from
being damaged.
• Tighten bolts evenly in several steps.
• Make sure that there is no gap between flange and fuel tube after tightening bolts.
6. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
After installing fuel tubes, make sure there are no fuel leaks at connections using the following steps.
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines by turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then check for fuel leaks at connections.
2. Start the engine and rev it up and check for fuel leaks at connections. WARNING:

11. Remove the oil pump drive spacer.
• Hold and remove the flat space of the oil pump drive spacer bypulling it forward.
12. Remove the oil pump. Refer to LU-14, "
Removal and Installation".
13. 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 (0.04in) in diameter.
c. Remove the bolts and chain tensioner.
WARNING:
Plunger, spring, an d spring seat pop out when (squeezing)
return-proof clip without holding plunger head. It may
cause serious injuries. Always 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).
14. Remove the timing chain tension guide and timing chain slack guide.
15. Remove the timing chain and crankshaft sprocket.
16. Loosen the camshaft sprocket bolts as shown and remove the camshaft sprocket.
CAUTION:
To avoid interference between valves and pistons, do not
turn crankshaft or camshaft wh en timing chain is discon-
nected.
17. Repeat the same procedure to remove the RH timing chain and associated parts.

5. 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
front cover.
b. At this time, make sure both intake and exhaust cam lobes of No. 1 cylinder (top front on LH bank) point outside.
• If they do not point outside, turn crankshaft pulley once more.
6. Disconnect and remove the camshaft position sensor. Refer to EM-44, "
Exploded View".
7. Disconnect and remove the intake valve timing c ontrol position sensor (RH and LH). Refer to EM-44,
"Exploded View".
8. Disconnect and remove the intake valve timing control solenoid valve (RH and LH). Refer to EM-44,
"Exploded View".
9. Remove the intake valve timing control solenoid cover RH bank (A) and intake valve timing control solenoid cover LH bank (B)
as follows:
a. Loosen and remove the bolts in reverse order as shown.
b. Cut the liquid gasket and remove the covers using Tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage mating surfaces.
10. Paint alignment marks on the RH bank (A) timing chain links (C) and LH bank (B) timing chain links (D) and align with the cam-
shaft sprocket alignment marks (E) and (F).
11. Remove the chain tensioner (LH) using the following steps. WARNING:
Plunger, spring, and spring seat pop out when squeezing return-proof clip without holding
plunger head. It may cause serious injuries. Always hold plunger head when removing.
