Timing Chain & Sprockets - Installation

INSTALLATION





1. If removed, install the timing chain guide and tighten bolts to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.).
2. If removed, install the timing chain tensioner (1) and tighten bolts to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.).
3. If required, retract the chain tensioner arm and install the Tensioner Pin 8514 (2) into the holes of the chain tensioner.






CAUTION: The timing chain must be installed with the single plated link aligned with the dot and or paint marking on the camshaft sprocket. The crankshaft sprocket is aligned with the dot and or paint marking on the sprocket between two plated timing chain links.

CAUTION: The camshaft pin and the slot in the cam sprocket must be clocked at 12:00. The crankshaft keyway must be clocked at 2:00. The crankshaft sprocket must be installed so that the dots and or paint marking is at 6:00.

4. Place both camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket on the bench with timing marks on exact imaginary center line through both camshaft and crankshaft bores.
5. Place timing chain around both sprockets with timing marks aligned with the plated links.
6. Lift the sprockets and chain keeping sprockets tight against the chain in the position as shown).
7. Position both sprockets (2, 3) onto their respective shafts and verify alignment of timing marks.
8. Install the camshaft sprocket retaining bolt and tighten to 122 Nm (90 ft. lbs.).





9. Remove the Tensioner Pin 8514 (1).
10. Rotate the crankshaft two revolutions and verify the alignment of the timing marks. If the timing marks do not line up, remove the camshaft sprocket and realign.





11. Install the oil pump Removal and Replacement





12. Verify the slide bushings (1) are installed in the timing chain cover.
