<<E>> TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER REMOVAL

1. Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley to the crankshaft.

CAUTION

Never turn the crankshaft counterclockwise.
2. Turn the crankshaft clockwise to align the sprocket timing 

marks as shown in the figure and set the cylinder No.1 to the 
top dead center of compression stroke.
NOTE: At this time, it is not necessary that the link plate 
(orange or blue) of the timing chain always aligns with each 
sprocket timing mark.

3. Remove the crankshaft pulley installed temporarily.

4. Using a flat-tipped precision screwdriver, release the ratchet 

of timing chain tensioner. 

5. Compress the plunger of timing chain tensioner and insert 

hard wire (such as piano wire) or the L-shaped hexagon 
wrench (1.5 mm[0.05 inch]) to fix the plunger of the timing 
chain tensioner.

6. Remove the timing chain tensioner.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

.

>>A<< TIMING CHAIN INSTALLATION

1. Set the timing marks of the camshaft sprockets and the 

crankshaft sprocket as shown in the figure.

2. Align each sprocket timing chain mating mark with the link 

plate (orange or blue) of timing chain to avoid slack of the 
timing chain tension side, and install the timing chain to the 
sprockets.

>>B<< TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER 
INSTALLATION

1. Check that the sprocket timing chain mating marks align 

with the link plates (orange or blue) of the timing chain, and 
install the timing chain tensioner to the cylinder block. 

2. Remove the hard wire or L-shaped hexagon wrench fixing 

the plunger of the timing chain tensioner to apply tension to 
the timing chain.

.

>>C<< CRANKSHAFT FRONT OIL SEAL 

INSTALLATION

1. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the entire inner 

diameter of the crankshaft front oil seal lip.

CAUTION

When installing the crankshaft front oil seal, be careful to 
avoid damage to the crankshaft front oil seal.
2. Using special tool MB991448, press in the crankshaft front 

oil seal up to the chamfered surface of timing chain case.

>>D<< TIMING CHAIN CASE ASSEMBLY 
INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• Be sure to remove the sealant inside the mounting 

holes and the O-ring grooves.

• After degreasing with white gasoline or the like, check 

that there is no oil on the surface where the sealant is 
applied.

• After degreasing with white gasoline or the like, never 

touch the degreased area with fingers.

1. Completely remove the liquid gasket adhered to the timing 

chain case assembly, cylinder block and cylinder head, and 
then degrease using the volatile degreasing agent.

2. Remove all the sealant adhering to the gasket between the 

cylinder head and cylinder block (three-surface aligned 
part). Then, degrease the surfaces with the volatile 
degreasing agent.

3. As for the three-surface aligned part above, the engine oil 

oozes from the cylinder head gasket. Thus, quickly apply the 
sealant to it after degreasing.

Specified sealant: ThreeBond 1217G or equivalent
