Timing Component Alignment Marks: Locations

CAUTION: Incorrect removal or installation of the timing chain can result in damage to internal engine components.

NOTICE: For complete replacement and installation procedures for the timing chain, please refer to Engine; Service and Repair. Service and Repair

NO. 2 CHAIN SUB-ASSEMBLY






(a) Set the crankshaft key as shown in the illustration.
(b) Turn the drive shaft so that the cutout faces right.






(c) Align the yellow mark links with the timing marks of each gear as shown in the illustration.
(d) Install the gears onto the crankshaft and oil pump shaft with the chain on the gears.
(e) Temporarily tighten the oil pump drive shaft gear with the nut.






(f) Insert the damper spring into the adjusting hole, and then install the chain tensioner plate with the bolt.
Torque: 10 Nm (102 kgf-cm, 7 ft-lbf)






(g) Align the adjusting hole of the oil pump drive shaft gear with the groove of the oil pump.






(h) Insert a 4 mm diameter bar into the adjusting hole of the oil pump drive shaft gear to lock the gear in position, and then tighten the nut.
Torque: 28 Nm (286 kgf-cm, 21 ft-lbf)


CHAIN SUB-ASSEMBLY
(a) Check the No. 1 cylinder TDC/compression.
(1) Temporarily tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt.





(2) Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise until the timing gear key is facing up.
(3) Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.





(4) Check the timing mark on each camshaft timing gear.






(b) Align the mark plate (orange) with the timing mark as shown in the illustration and install the chain.
HINT:
- Be sure to position the mark plate at the front of the engine.
- The mark plate on the camshaft side is colored orange.
- Do not pass the chain around the sprocket of the camshaft timing gear assembly. Only place it on the sprocket.
- Pass the chain through the No. 1 vibration damper.





(c) Place the chain on the crankshaft without passing it around the shaft.






(d) Hold the hexagonal portion of the camshaft with a wrench and turn the camshaft timing gear assembly counterclockwise to align the mark plate (orange) and timing mark.
HINT:
- Be sure to position the mark plate at the front of the engine.
- The mark plate on the camshaft side is colored orange.

(e) Hold the hexagonal portion of the camshaft with a wrench and turn the camshaft timing gear assembly clockwise.
HINT: When tensioning the chain, turn the camshaft timing gear assembly clockwise slowly to prevent the chain from being misaligned.





(f) Align the mark plate (yellow) and timing mark and install the chain to the crankshaft timing gear.
HINT: The mark plate on the crankshaft side is colored yellow.

(g) Recheck each timing mark at TDC/compression.
