NOTE: The idler sprocket must be timed to the
counterbalance shaft drive gear before the idler
sprocket is fully seated.
10. Install all chains, crankshaft sprocket, and idler
sprocket as an assembly. After guiding both sec-
ondary chains through the block and cylinder
head openings, affix chains with a elastic strap or
equivalent. This will maintain tension on chains to
aid in installation. Align the timing mark (2) on the
idler sprocket gear (3) to the timing mark on the
counterbalance shaft drive gear (1), then seat
idler sprocket fully. Before installing idler sprocket
bolt, lubricate washer with oil, and tighten idler
sprocket assembly retaining bolt to 34 N·m (25 ft.
lbs.).
NOTE: It will be necessary to slightly rotate camshafts for sprocket installation.
11. Align left camshaft sprocket “L” dot to plated link on chain.
12. Align right camshaft sprocket “R” dot to plated link on chain.
CAUTION: Remove excess oil from the camshaft sprocket bolt. Failure to do so can result in over-torque of
bolt resulting in bolt failure.
13. Remove Special Tool 8429, then attach both sprockets to camshafts. Remove excess oil from bolts, then Install
sprocket bolts, but do not tighten at this time.
14. Verify that all plated links are aligned with the marks on all sprockets and the “V6” marks on camshaft sprockets
are at the 12 o’clock position.
