REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

Removal steps <<A>> >>B<< 1. Timing chain tensioner 2. Tensioner lever >>A<< 3. Timing chain guide >>A<< 4. Timing chain

1.Insert a flatblade screwdriver into the release hole of the timing chain tensioner to release the latch. 2.Push the tensioner lever by hand and push in the plunger of the timing chain tensioner until it hits the bottom. Then, insert a hard wire (piano wire or the like) of Φ1.5 or hexagonal bar wrench (1.5 mm) into the fixing hole of the plunger. 3.Remove the timing chain tensioner.

1.Align the timing mark of the rocker shaft holder with the one circular timing mark of the V.V.T. sprocket. 2.Align the crankshaft sprocket keys with illustrated positions.

3.Align the timing mark of the crankshaft sprocket with the link plate (orange) to loop the timing chain.

4.Align the centre link plate of three blue ones with the V.V.T. sprocket timing mark, and then install the timing chain. 5.Make sure that the timing mark of each sprocket is aligned with the link plate of the timing chain at all of two locations. 6.Install the timing chain guide on the cylinder block and tighten it to the specified torque of 11 ± 3 N·m. 7.Install the tensioner lever on the cylinder block and tighten it to the specified torque of 11 ± 3 N·m.Install the timing chain guide and tensioner lever.

2.Remove the hard wire (piano wire or the like) of Φ1.5 or hexagonal bar wrench (1.5 mm) from the timing chain tensioner. This enables the plunger of the timing chain tensioner to push the tensioner lever to keep the timing chain tight.
