NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces may enter the cylinders, oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, and cause engine failure.

NOTICE: The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley is loosened. Therefore, the engine must be retimed each time the damper is removed. Otherwise severe engine damage may occur.

NOTE: Assembly of the engine requires various inspections/measurements of the engine components (engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons and piston rings). These inspections/measurements will aid in determining if the engine components will require replacement. For additional information, refer to Engine System - General Information Procedures.

41. NOTICE: Do not compress the ratchet assembly. This will damage the ratchet assembly.

Using the edge of a vise, compress the timing chain tensioner plunger.





42. Using a small pick, push back and hold the ratchet mechanism.

- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).





48. NOTICE: The Camshaft Alignment Plate is for camshaft alignment only. Using this tool to prevent engine rotation may result in engine damage.

Install the Camshaft Alignment Plate in the timing slots on rear of both camshafts. Timing slots are offset from the centerline of the camshaft.





49. NOTICE: The Camshaft Alignment Plate is for camshaft alignment only. Using this tool to prevent engine rotation may result in engine damage.

NOTE: Use a wrench on the flats between cylinders No. 1 and No. 2 to hold the camshafts in place.

Tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts.

- Tighten to 72 Nm (53 lb-ft).





50. NOTICE: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.

NOTE: Clean the sealing surface with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Observe all warnings and cautions and follow all application directions contained on the packaging of the silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep.

Clean the engine front cover gasket surface with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep.

51. NOTICE: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.

NOTE: If not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Observe all warnings and cautions and follow all application directions contained on the packaging of the silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Apply a 2.5 mm (0.1 in) bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the front cover.





52. NOTICE: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.
