TIMING CHAIN
a. Install the crankshaft sprocket (1), the oil pump drive chain (2),
and the oil pump sprocket (3) at the same time.
• Install the crankshaft sprocket so that its invalid gear area (A)is toward the back of the engine.
• Install the oil pump sprocket so that its protrusion faces the front of engine.
NOTE:
There is no matching mark in the oil pump drive related parts.
b. Hold the top of the oil pump shaft using the socket (size: E8), and then tighten the oil pump sprocket nut.
c. Install oil pump drive chain tensioner (1). • Insert the body into the shaft (B) while inserting the spring intothe attaching hole (A) of cylinder block front surface.
• Check that the tension is applied to the oil pump drive chain
after installing.
2. Install timing chain:
• 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:
• After the matching marks are aligned, keep them aligned by holding them.
• To avoid skipped teeth, do not rotate crankshaft and cam- shaft until front cover is installed.

• 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. Check that crankshaft turns smoothly by rotating by hand clockwise using suitable tool.
11. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, includi ng engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leaks.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops 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 are no lea ks 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.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Oil Filter
• Check that there is no foreign material on the oil filter (1) and check it for clogging.
• Check the oil filter for damage.
• If there is some damage, replace the oil filter, the plug, and the washer as a set.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the washer.
Camshaft Runout
1. Put V-block on a precise flat table, and support No. 2 and 5 jour- nals of camshaft.
CAUTION:
Do not support No. 1 journal (on the side of camshaft
sprocket) because it has a differe nt diameter from the other
four locations.
2. Set a suitable tool vertically to No. 3 journal.
3. Turn camshaft to one direction, and measure the camshaft runout using suitable tool. (Total indicator reading)

• Measure the outer diameter of valve lifter using suitable tool (A).
VALVE LIFTER HOLE DIAMETER
Measure the diameter of valve lifter hole of cylinder head using suit-
able tool (A).
VALVE LIFTER CLEARANCE
• (Valve lifter clearance) = (Valve lifter hole diameter) – (Valve lifter outer diameter)
• If out of the standard, referring to the each standard of
valve lifter outer diameter and valve lifter hole diame-
ter, replace either or both valve lifter and cylinder head.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection of Camshaft Sprocket Oil Groove
CAUTION:
• Perform this inspection only when DTC P0011 or P 0014 is detected in self-diagnostic results of CON-
SULT and it is directed according to insp ection procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-168, "
Diagnosis
Procedure" (P0011) or EC-172, "Diagnosis Procedure" (P0014).
• Check when engine is cold so as to pr event burns from the splashing engine oil.
NOTE:
This section provides the inspection method of oil passage of cam sprocket on the intake side. For oil passage
on the exhaust side, the inspection proc edure must be changed as instructed below:
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
Inspection".
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while checking.
a. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-137, "
Work Procedure".
b. Remove intake manifold. Refer to EM-28, "
Removal and Installation".
Standard : Refer to
EM-117, "
Camshaft".

Standard : Refer to EM-117, "Camshaft".
· Step 3 : Remove exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to EM-60, "Exploded View".
· Step 4 : Crank engine, and then check that engine oil comes out from exhaust valve timing control solenoid
valve hole (A). End crank after checking.
·Step 5 Perform the following inspection if engine oil does not come out from exhaust valve timing control
solenoid valve oil hole of the cylinder head.
• Remove oil filter, and then clean it. Refer to
EM-60, "
Exploded View".
• Clean oil groove between oil strainer and exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to
EM-60, "

WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belts, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
• Prevent splashing by using a shop cloth to prevent injuryfrom splashing engine oil and so as to prevent engine oil contamination.
• Use a shop cloth to prevent engine oil from bein g splashed to engine and vehicle. Especially be
careful not to spill engine oil to rubber parts of drive belts, engine mounting insulator, etc. Wipe
engine oil off immediatel y if it is splashed.
5. Perform the following inspection if engine oil does not come out from intake valve timing control solenoid valve oil hole of the cylinder head.
• Remove oil filter, and then clean it. Refer to LU-10, "
Removal and Installation".
• Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to LU-5,
"Engine Lubrication System".
6. Remove components between intake valve timing c ontrol solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),
and then check each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-5, "
