TIMING CHAIN

19. Press stopper tab (A) in the direction shown to push the timing

chain slack guide (B) toward timing chain tensioner (for oil
pump) (1).
• The slack guide (B) is released by pressing the stopper tab

(A). As a result, the slack guide (B) can be moved.

20. Insert stopper pin (D) into tensioner body hole (C) to secure tim-

ing chain slack guide (B).
NOTE:
Use a hard metal pin with a diameter of approximately 1.2 mm
(0.047 in) as a stopper pin.

21. Remove timing chain tensioner (for oil pump).

22. Hold the WAF part of oil pump shaft (A), and then loosen the oil pump sprocket bolt and remove them.

CAUTION:

• Secure the oil pump shaft with the WAF part.
• Never loosen the oil pump sprocket bolt by tightening the

oil pump drive chain.

23. Remove crankshaft sprocket, oil pump sprocket and oil pump drive chain as a set.

24. Remove timing chain tension guide (front cover side) from front cover if necessary.

• Check timing chain and oil pump drive chain for cracks (A) and any

excessive wear (B) at the roller links of timing chain. 

• Replace timing chain and/or oil pump drive chain if necessary.

INSTALLATION

NOTE:
The figure shows the relationship between the matching mark on
each timing chain and that on the corresponding sprocket, with the
components installed.

1.

Make sure that crankshaft key points straight up.

NOTE:
*: There are two outer grooves in camshaft sprocket (INT). The wider one is a matching mark.

2.

If the timing chain tension guide (front cover side) is removed, install it to the front cover.

CAUTION:

Check the joint condition by sound or feeling.

3.

Install crankshaft sprocket (2), oil pump sprocket (3) and oil
pump drive chain (1).

• Install it by aligning matching marks on each sprocket and   oil

pump drive chain. 

• If these matching marks are not aligned, rotate the oil pump

shaft slightly to correct the position.

CAUTION:

Check matching mark position of each sprocket after
installing the oil pump drive chain.

TIMING CHAIN

4.

Hold the WAF part of oil pump shaft (A), and then tighten the oil
pump sprocket bolt.

CAUTION:

• Secure the oil pump shaft with the WAF part.
• Never loosen the oil pump sprocket bolt by tightening the

oil pump drive chain.

5.

Install chain tensioner (for oil pump) (1).
• Fix the plunger at the most compressed position using a stop-

per pin (A), and then install it.

• Securely pull out (

) the stopper pin after installing the chain

tensioner (for oil pump).

• Check matching mark position of oil pump drive chain and

each sprocket again.

6.

Align the matching marks of each sprocket with the matching
marks of timing chain.

NOTE:
*: There are 2 outer grooves in camshaft sprocket (INT). The
wider one is a matching mark.
• If these matching marks are not aligned, rotate the camshaft

slightly by holding the hexagonal portion to correct the posi-
tion.

CAUTION:

Check matching mark position of each sprocket and timing
chain again after installing the timing chain.

chain tensioner.

9.

Check matching mark position of timing chain and each sprocket again.

10. Apply new engine oil to new front oil seal joint surface.

11. Using a suitable tool install front oil seal so that each seal lip is oriented as shown.

• Press-fit front oil seal until it is flush with front end surface of

front cover as shown below with a suitable tool.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to damage front cover and crankshaft.
• Press-fit oil seal straight to avoid causing burrs or tilting.
• Never touch grease applied onto oil seal lip.
