- Align the colored links with the timing marks.





Primary Chain

NOTE: It may be necessary to rotate the camshafts slightly, to align the timing marks.

Install the primary timing chain with the colored links aligned with the timing marks on the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) assemblies and the crankshaft sprocket.






As a post-check, verify correct alignment of all timing marks.

- There is 48 links in between the RH (Right Hand) intake VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) assembly colored link (1) and the LH (Left Hand) intake VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) assembly colored link (2).

- There is 35 links in between LH (Left Hand) intake VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) assembly colored link (2) and the 2 crankshaft sprocket links (3).
