NOTE:
 The above figure shows the relationship between the matching mark on each timing chain and that on the
corresponding sprocket, with the components installed.
 Parts with an identification mark (R or L) should be installed on the corresponding bank according to the
mark.

1. Check that crankshaft key (1) and dowel pin (A) of each cam-
shaft are located as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
Though camshaft does not stop at the position as shown in the
figure, for the placement of cam nose, it is generally accepted
camshaft is placed for the same direction of the figure.
2. Install camshaft sprockets (INT and EXH).  Install onto correct side by checking with identification mark(A) on surface.
Exhaust side: Secure the hexagonal portion of exhaust camshaft using a wrench to tighten mounting bolt. Refer toEM-74, "
Exploded View".
Intake side:
 Secure the hexagonal portion (located in between journal No.1and journal No. 2) of drive shaft (A) using a wrench (B) to
tighten mounting bolt. Refer to EM-74, "
Exploded View".
NOTE:
The figure shows an example of bank 2.
3. Install high pressure fuel pump camshaft.
4. Install timing chains as per the following:
a. Install crankshaft sprockets for both banks.  Install each crankshaft sprocket so that its flange side (thelarger diameter side without teeth) (A) faces in the direction
shown in the figure.
NOTE:
The same parts are used but facing directions are different.Camshaft dowel pin

install fuel pump connector protector in advance, if it is being
removed.
a. Install new O-rings (1) on front cover.
b. Install new seal rings (1) in shaft grooves. CAUTION:
When replacing seal ring, replace all rings with new ones.
c. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with tube presser (commercial service tool) to valve timing control covers as
shown in the figure.
Use Genuine RTV silicone seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-22, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".

cautions".
REMOVAL
1. Check fuel level on a level ground. If the fuel level is 7/8 of the fuel tank (full or nearly full), draw appropri-
ate amount of fuel from the fuel tank.
 In the event of malfunction in fuel pump, insert a hose measuring 20mm (0.79 in) in diameter into the
filler opening to draw approximately 20 liters fuel.
2. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-153, "
Work Procedure".
3. Open fuel filler lid.
4. Open filler cap and release the pressure inside fuel tank.
5. Tilt the second seat toward the front of the vehicle.
6. Peel off floor carpet, then remove inspection hole cover (1) by turning clips (2) clockwise by 90 degrees (b).
1. Lock ring 2. Fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and
