3rd title 3 : This title indicates a sub-section that is followed by step-by-step procedures accompa-nied by corresponding illustrations.

EXPLODED DIAGRAMSTo heps identify parts and clarify procedure steps, there are exploded diagrams at start of each remov-al and disassembly section.1. An easy-to-see exploded diagram 4 is provided for disassembly and assembly jobs.2. Numbers 5 are given in the order of jobs in the exploded diagram. A number that is enclosed by a

circle indicates a disassembly step.3. An explanation of jobs and notes is presented in an easy-to-read way by the use of symbol marks

6 . The meanings of the symbol marks are given on the next page.4. A job instruction chart 7 accompanies the exploded diagram, providing the order of jobs, names of

parts, notes in jobs, etc.5. For jobs requiring more information, the step-by-step format supplements 8 are given in addition to

the exploded diagram and the job instruction chart.

Installing steps:!Turn the crank shaft counterclockwise until theslit 1 matches the stationary pointer 2 .

!Align the dowel pin 3 on the camshaft with thestationary pointer 4 on the cylinder head.

!Align the “I” mark 5 on the cam sprocket withthe stationary pointer 6 on the cylinder head.

!Fit the timing chain 7 onto cam sprocket 8and install the cam sprocket on the camshaft.

When installing the cam sprocket, keep the tim-ing chain as tight as possible on the exhaustside.

Do not turn the crankshaft during installa-tion of the camshaft. Damage or impropervalve timing will result.

!Remove the safety wire from the timingchain.

4. Install:!Plate washer!Bolt (timing chain)

5. Install:! timing chain tensioner

a. Lightly press the timing chain tensioner rodinto the timing chain tensioner housing byhand.

b. While pressing the timing chain tensionerrod, wind it clockwise with a thin screwdriver1 until it stops.

c. With the screwdriver still inserted into thetiming chain tensioner, install the timingchain tensioner 2 , gasket 3 onto the cylin-der block. Then, tighten the timing chain ten-sioner bolts 4 to the specified torque.
