Cam Chain Installation
NOTE: Keep the cam chain away from magnetic fields.
1. Set the crankshaft to top dead center (TDC). Align the TDC mark (A) on the crankshaft sprocket with the pointer (B) on the oil pump.
2. Remove the crankshaft sprocket.
3. Set the camshaft to TDC. The "UP" mark (A) on the camshaft sprocket should be at the top, and the TDC grooves (B) on the camshaft sprocket should line up with the top edge of the head.
4. Install the cam chain on the crankshaft sprocket with the colored piece (A) aligned with the TDC mark (B) on the crankshaft sprocket, then install the crankshaft sprocket to the crankshaft.
5. Install the cam chain on the camshaft sprocket with the pointers (A) aligned with the three colored pieces (B) as shown.
6. Install the cam chain tensioner (A) and the cam chain guide (B).
7. Install the cam chain tensioner slider, and loosely tighten the bolt.
8. Apply new engine oil to the sliding surface of the cam chain tensioner slider (A).
9. Rotate the cam chain tensioner slider clockwise to compress the cam chain tensioner, and install the remaining bolt, then tighten the bolts.
10. Check the chain case oil seal for damage If the oil seal is damaged, replace the chain case oil seal.. Service and Repair
11. Remove the all of the old liquid gasket from the chain case mating surfaces, the bolts, and the bolt holes.
12. Clean and dry the chain case mating surfaces.
13. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the engine block mating surface of the chain case and to the inside edge of the bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
NOTE:
- Apply liquid gasket about 2.5 mm (0.098 in.) diameter bead along the broken line (A).
- If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
- If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
14. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the oil pan mating surface of the chain case and to the inside edge of the bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
NOTE:
- Apply liquid gasket about 2.5 mm (0.098 in.) diameter bead along the broken line (A).
- Apply liquid gasket about 5.0 mm (0.20 in.) diameter bead to the shaded area (B).
- If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
- If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
15. Set the edge of the chain case (A) to the edge of the oil pan (B), then install the chain case on the engine block (C).
NOTE:
- When installing the chain case, do not slide the bottom surface onto the oil pan mounting surface.
- Wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
- Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the chain case.
16. Tighten the chain case mounting bolts. Wipe off the excess liquid gasket on the oil pan and the chain case mating area.
