13. INSTALL CHAIN SUB-ASSEMBLY

HINT:

  • Be sure to install the chain sub-assembly with the mark plates facing away from the engine assembly.
  • The mark plate on the camshaft side is colored orange.
  • The mark plate on the crankshaft side is colored pink.

(a) Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley set bolt to the crankshaft.

(b) Install the No. 1 chain vibration damper to the cylinder head sub-assembly and cylinder block sub-assembly with the 2 bolts.

Torque:

21 N·m {214 kgf·cm, 15 ft·lbf}

(c) Install the chain sub-assembly with the mark plates (orange) of the chain sub-assembly aligned with the timing mark (rectangle) as shown in the illustration.

HINT:

  • There are 3 marks on the camshaft timing sprocket. Make sure to align the mark plate with the timing mark (rectangle).
  • Do not pass the chain sub-assembly around the sprocket of the camshaft timing gear assembly. Only place it on the camshaft timing gear assembly.

HINT:

If the camshaft timing gear assembly cannot be positioned as shown in the illustration, using a wrench to hold the hexagonal portion of the camshaft, slightly rotate the camshaft timing gear assembly counterclockwise and then install the chain sub-assembly.

(f) Using a wrench to hold the hexagonal portion of the camshaft, slowly turn the camshaft timing gear assembly clockwise to tension the chain sub-assembly between the camshaft timing sprocket and camshaft timing gear assembly.

HINT:

Make sure to turn the camshaft timing gear assembly slowly to prevent the camshaft timing sprocket from becoming misaligned.

(g) Align the mark plate (pink) with timing mark and install the chain sub-assembly to the crankshaft timing sprocket.
