NOTE:
- Make sure the crankshaft is at TDC position.
- Align the chain installation mark of the crankshaft sprocket and the timing mark of the chain link, and then install the chain.
NOTE:
- To install the timing chain with no slack between each shaft (cam, crank), follow the below procedure.
  - Crankshaft sprocket → Timing chain guide → Exhaust CVVT sprocket → Intake CVVT sprocket. (LH Bank)
  - Crankshaft sprocket → Timing chain guide → Intake CVVT sprocket → Exhaust CVVT sprocket. (RH Bank)
- The timing mark of each sprockets should be matched with timing mark (orange or dark blue color link) of timing chain during installation.
Install the LH/RH cam to cam guides (A).

NOTE:

Confirm identification mark "R" on the tensioner flange and the gasket hole.
The tensioner ratchet should be top-ward.

Set tension of the LH/RH timing chain tensioner.

LH Bank

To set tension of the timing chain tensioner, push the timing chain tensioner arm outward to the end.

(Tensioner plunger moves back about 2-3 mm (0.0787-0.1181 in.))

Courtesy of HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA

Tension of the timing chain tensioner will set after the lock is released.
If the tensioner tooth is visible, tension setting is completed.

RH Bank

To set tension of the timing chain tensioner, push the timing chain tensioner arm outward to the end.
(Tensioner plunger moves back about 2-3 mm (0.0787-0.1181 in.))

Tension of the timing chain tensioner will set after the lock is released.

If the tensioner tooth is visible, tension setting is completed.

After setting tension of the LH, RH timing chain tensioner, check timing mark again.
1. Make sure the chain installation mark of the sprocket and the timing marked chain links are aligned.
2. Rotate the crankshaft 2 revolutions in regular direction (clockwise viewed from front), confirm the timing marks on the LH, RH intake and exhaust CVVT and the RH cylinder head upper surfaces are aligned.

After rotating the crankshaft 2 revolutions in regular direction (clockwise viewed from front), confirm the timing mark.
NOTE:
- Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
- Turning the crankshaft counter clockwise before building up oil pressure in the hydraulic timing chain tensioner may result in the chain disengaging from the sprocket teeth.
Install the other parts reverse order of removal.
