quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants"
.
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-
age at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner dr ops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leak age of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.

b. Insert stopper pin into tensioner body hole to hold lever, and keep the tab released. An Allen wrench [1.2 mm (0.047 in)] is
used for a stopper pin as an example.
c. Insert plunger into tensioner body by pressing the slack side chain guide.
d. Keep the slack side chain guide pressed and hold it by pushing the stopper pin through the lever hole and body hole.
e. Remove the bolts and remove the timing chain tensioner.
5. Remove the internal chain guide, and slack guide.
6. Remove primary timing chain and crankshaft sprocket. CAUTION:
After removing timing chain, do not turn the crankshaft and camsh aft separately, or the valves will
strike the pistons.
7. Attach a suitable stopper pin to the right and left camshaft chain tensioners (for secondary timing chains).
8. Remove timing chain (secondary) and camshaft sprockets as follows:

(C) timing chain tensioners (secondary) (1).
NOTE:
• Use approximately 0.5 mm (0.02 in) diameter hard metal pin
as a stopper pin.
• Removal of camshaft bracket (No. 1) is required prior to
removing the timing chain tensioner (secondary).
b. Remove camshaft sprockets (INT and EXH) bolts. • Apply paint to the timing chain and camshaft sprockets for alignment during installation.
• Secure the hexagonal portion of camshaft using a wrench to
loosen bolts.
CAUTION:
Do not loosen bolts using an ything other than the cam-
shaft hexagonal portion. Do no t apply tension to the tim-
ing chain.
c. Remove timing chain (secondary) together with camshaft sprockets. • Turn camshaft slightly to keep the chain ti ght when removing the timing chain (secondary).
• Insert 0.5 mm (0.020 in) thick metal or resin plate between tim- ing chain and timing chain tensioner plunger (guide) (E).
Remove timing chain (secondary) (2) together with camshaft
sprockets with timing chain loose from guide groove.
CAUTION:
Be careful of plunger coming off when removing timing chain (secondary). The plunger of timing
chain tensioner (secondary) moves during operatio n, which could cause the stopper pin to fall
out.
• Bank 1 shown.
d. Camshaft sprocket (INT) is two-for-one structure of sprockets for timing chain (primary) and for timing
chain (secondary).
CAUTION:
• Handle camshaft sprocket (INT) carefully to avoid any
shock to camshaft sprocket.
• Do not disassemble. [Do not loosen bolts (A) as shown].

2. Check that dowel pin (A) and crankshaft key (1) are located as shown. (No. 1 cylinder at compression TDC)
NOTE:
Though camshaft does not stop at the position as shown, for the
placement of cam nose, it is generally accepted camshaft is
placed in the same direction.

NOTE:
Bank 1 shown (rear view).
• Align the mating marks on timing chain (secondary) (orange link) with the mating marks on camshaft sprockets (INT and

• Align dowel pin on camshafts with the groove on sprockets,
and install them.
• Tighten the bolts for the camshaft sprockets by hand enough to prevent the dowel pins from falling out of the grooves.
• It may be difficult to visually check the dislocation of mating marks during and after installation. To make the matching eas-
ier, make a mating mark (A) on the top of sprocket teeth and
its extended line with paint.
