Timing Chain and Sprockets - Second Design

Timing Chain and Sprockets (Second Design)





Use the J 41478 (1) and the J 41665 (2) in order to install the crankshaft sprocket.

Install the sprocket onto the crankshaft until fully seated against the crankshaft flange.

Rotate the crankshaft sprocket until the alignment mark is in the 12 o'clock position.





Important:
^ Do not use the camshaft sprocket bolt again. Install a NEW bolt during assembly.

^ The sprocket teeth and timing chain must mesh.

^ The camshaft and the crankshaft sprocket alignment marks MUST be aligned properly.

Install the camshaft sprocket (205), timing chain (208), and NEW bolt (206).





Inspect the sprockets for proper alignment. The mark on the camshaft sprocket (1) should be located in the 6 o'clock position and the mark on the crankshaft sprocket (2) should be located in the 12 o'clock position.
