10. CAUTION: Cylinder head camshaft journal caps and cylinder heads are numbered to verify that they are assembled in their original positions.

CAUTION: Do not install the camshaft journal thrust caps until all of the camshaft bearing caps have been installed, or damage to the thrust caps can occur.





Lubricate the camshaft journal caps with clean engine oil. Position the LH camshaft caps and install the bolts.
^ Tighten in the sequence shown to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.).

11. CAUTION: Cylinder head camshaft journal caps and cylinder heads are numbered to verify that they are assembled in their original positions.

CAUTION: Do not install the camshaft journal thrust caps until all of the camshaft bearing caps have been installed, or damage to the thrust caps can occur.





Position the RH camshaft caps and install the bolts.
^ Tighten in the sequence shown to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.).

12. NOTE: Clean the sealing surface with metal surface prep before installing a new press-in-place gasket.





Install the camshaft oil seal retainer and the 3 bolts.
^ Tighten to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.).

13. NOTE: Lubricate the camshaft oil seal with clean engine oil.





Position the new camshaft oil seal on the special tool.





14. Position the special tool and the camshaft oil seal on the camshaft.





15. Using the special tools, install the camshaft oil seal.





16. Remove the crankshaft damper bolt.





17. Install the crankshaft sprocket with the timing marks facing outward.

18. NOTE: LH shown; RH similar.





Position the chain tensioner in a soft-jawed vise.

19. NOTE: LH shown; RH similar.





Hold the chain tensioner ratchet lock mechanism away from the ratchet stem with a small pick.

20. CAUTION: During tensioner compression, do not release the ratchet stem until the tensioner piston is fully bottomed in its bore or damage to the ratchet stem will result.

Slowly compress the timing chain tensioner.





21. Retain the tensioner piston with a 1.5 mm (0.06 inch) wire or paper clip.





22. If timing marks in the timing chains are not evident, use a permanent-type marker to mark the crankshaft and camshaft timing marks on the LH and RH timing chains.
1 Mark any link to use as the crankshaft timing mark.
2 Starting with the crankshaft timing mark, count 29 links and mark the link.
3 Continue counting to link 42 and mark the link.





23. Verify that the LH camshafts are correctly positioned.





24. Position the LH timing chain and guide and install the 2 bolts.
^ Tighten to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).
^ Align the marks on the timing chain with the marks on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets.





25. Install the LH timing chain tensioner arm and the LH timing chain tensioner.
1 Install the tensioner arm.
2 Position the tensioner.
3 Install the 2 bolts.
^ Tighten to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).





26. Install the crankshaft damper bolt and rotate the crankshaft clockwise 120 degrees until the crankshaft keyway is in the 3 o'clock position.





27. Verify that the RH camshafts are correctly positioned.





28. Install the RH timing chain and chain guide and install the 2 bolts.
^ Tighten to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).
^ Align the marks on the timing chain with the marks on the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets.





29. Install the RH timing chain tensioner and tensioner arm.

2 Position the tensioner.
3 Install the 2 bolts.
^ Tighten to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).
30. Remove the LH and RH timing chain tensioner piston retaining wires.
31. Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise 120 degrees to top dead center (TDC).

32. CAUTION: Failure to verify correct timing drive component alignment will result in severe engine damage.





Verify the timing with the following steps.
1 There should be 12 chain links between the camshaft timing marks.
2 There should be 27 chain links between the camshaft and the crankshaft timing marks.
3 There should be 30 chain links between the camshaft and the crankshaft timing marks.
