Repair Procedures: Installation: Notes

  1. Install the tensioner adapter (A) and the timing chain guide bolts (B).

    Tightening torque: 

    Tensioner adapter bolts:

    21.6 ~ 25.5N.m (2.2 ~ 2.6kgf.m, 15.9 ~ 18.8lb-ft)

    Timing chain guide bolts:

    21.6 ~ 25.5N.m (2.2 ~ 2.6kgf.m, 15.9 ~ 18.8lb-ft)

  2. Install the crankshaft sprocket (A) with the friction plates (B).
    NOTE: Completely fix the four friction plate clips and the sprocket groove.
    Align the key-home of the friction plate with the key-home of the sprocket.
    Be careful for the clip not to be folded.
    The block is placed at bottom up before install the timing chain system and timing chain cover assembly.

    CAUTION: The mark of friction plate should be placed top. (Engine is placed bottom up)
  3. Install the oil pump chain (C) with the oil pump sprocket (B) and oil pump chain tensioner (A).

    Tightening torque: 

    A: 9.8 ~ 11.8N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7lb-ft)

    B: 21.6 ~ 25.5N.m (2.2 ~ 2.6kgf.m, 15.9 ~ 18.8lb-ft)

  4. Install the timing chain with the timing chain tensioner arm (A), the timing chain guide (B) and the timing chain locking tool (SST: 09231-2J600) (C).

    Tightening torque: 

    Timing chain tensioner arm bolts:

    21.6 ~ 25.5N.m (2.2 ~ 2.6kgf.m, 15.9 ~ 18.8lb-ft)

  5. Install the timing chain lower cover.
    NOTE: Assemble the timing chain lower cover with engine bottom up condition.
    1. The sealant locations on chain lower cover and on counter parts (cylinder head, cylinder block, and lower oil pan) must be free of engine oil and etc.
    2. Install the new gasket (A) to the timing chain lower cover.

    3. Apply liquid sealant LT 5900H or equivalent on timing chain lower cover. The part must be assembled within 5 minutes after sealant was applied.

      Sealant should be applied in a continuous bead in each of the areas indicated below.

      Bead width:  Ø2.5 ± 0.5mm

      NOTE:
      • During timing chain lower cover installation, care not to take off applied sealant on the timing chain lower cover by contact with other parts.
      • Apply sealant in a 4.0 ± 0.5mm wide spot for the 4 T-joints (D).
    4. The dowel pins on the cylinder block and holes on the timing chain lower cover should be used as a reference in order to assemble the timing chain lower cover to be in exact position.

      Tightening torque: 

      23.5 ~ 27.5N.m (2.4 ~ 2.8kgf.m, 17.4 ~ 20.3lb-ft)
