2 Remove the tensioner.
3 Remove the tensioner arm.





46. Remove the bolts, RH timing chain guide and the timing chain.





47. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise 60° (1-2/3 times) to position the crankshaft keyway in the 11 o'clock position. This will position the LH camshafts in the neutral position.





48. Remove the LH timing chain and tensioner arm.
1 Remove the bolts.
2 Remove the tensioner.
3 Remove the tensioner arm.





49. Remove the LH timing chain and timing chain guide.





50. Remove the damper bolt and the crankshaft sprockets.





51. NOTE: RH shown; LH similar.
