Refer to the procedure in this section. # Remove the three nuts and the engine support insulator through bolt from the engine support insulator. Remove the front engine support bracket (6028). # Raise and support the vehicle. # Align the crankshaft sprocket (6306) to TDC by turning the crankshaft (6303) in the direction of normal engine (6007) rotation. # NOTE: Remove the lower timing chain tensioner arm bolt before the upper timing chain tensioner arm bolt. Remove two bolts from the timing chain tensioner arm (6285) in the order shown. Remove the timing chain tensioner arm. # Mark the direction of rotation on the timing chain/belt (6268) to be sure of proper installation. # Loosen the timing chain/belt tensioner bolt. # Remove the timing chain/belt. Installation # Compress the timing chain tensioner arm until the hole in the piston is aligned with the second hole in the case. Insert a 1.6mm (0.06 inch) diameter wire or pin through the second hole to keep the piston compressed. # Align the camshafts (6250) to top dead center (TDC). # Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the crankshaft sprocket is offset from TDC by one tooth. # Install the timing chain/belt.

Turn the crankshaft in the direction of normal engine rotation without moving the camshafts, until the crankshaft timing mark is again at TDC. This will place all of the belt slack in the timing chain tensioner arm portion of the timing chain/belt. # Install the timing chain tensioner arm and both bolts. Tighten the timing chain tensioner arm bolts to 19-25 Nm (14-18 lb-ft). # Remove the pin from the timing chain tensioner arm. # NOTE: When correctly timed, the crankshaft timing mark will line up and will NOT be one tooth off. Turn the crankshaft two complete revolutions, in the direction of normal engine rotation, to make sure that the timing is still correct. # Tighten the timing chain/belt tensioner bolt to 35-51 Nm (26-37 lb-ft). # Install the RH engine support insulator. Tighten the three nuts to 74-103 Nm (54-76 lb-ft) and the RH engine support insulator through bolt to 67-93 Nm (50-68 lb-ft). # Install the Engine Front Covers . |}
