WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The key of crankshaft should be aligned with the timing mark of cylinder block. As a result of this, the piston of No. 1 cylinder is placed at the top dead center on compression stroke.
Check that the mark of the intake and exhaust CVVT sprockets timing are in straight line on the cylinder head surface as shown in the illustration. As a result of this, the piston of No. 1 cylinder is placed at the top dead center on compression stroke.
