Repair Procedures: Removal

  1. Set No. 1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
    1. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise and align its groove with the timing mark "T" of the lower timing chain cover.

    NOTE: Do not rotate engine counterclockwise.
  2. Remove the timing chain cover.

    (Refer to Timing System - "Timing Chain Cover ")

    CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of cylinder block, cylinder head and timing chain cover.
    NOTE: Before removing the timing chain, mark the RH/LH timing chain with an identification based on the location of the sprocket because the identification mark on the chain for TDC (Top Dead Center) can be erased.
