TIMING CHAIN REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5 (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION)]


id0110s8801000

Warning
•  A hot engine can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool before servicing.
Caution
•  If the camshaft is rotated with the timing chain removed and the piston at the top dead center position, the valve may contact the piston and the engine could be damaged. When rotating the camshaft with the timing chain removed, rotate it after lowering the piston from the top dead center position.
•  When rotating the camshaft using a wrench on the cast hexagon, the wrench may contact the rocker arm and damage the rocker arm. To prevent damage to the rocker arm when holding the camshaft on the cast hexagon, use a wrench on the rear side of the engine as shown in the figure to secure a clearance between the cam.
ac5wzw00003212
Note
•  Width at the cast hexagon of the camshaft is 22—24 mm {0.87—0.94 in}.
