Precaution for Removal and Disassembly

  1. When instructed to use special service tools, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.
  2. Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.
  3. Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.
  4. Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and assembly.
  5. When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be used where noted in the step.

Precaution for Assembly and Installation

  1. Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
  2. When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is specified, do exactly as specified.
  3. Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
  4. Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check oil or coolant passages for any restriction and blockage.
  5. Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust. Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
  6. Release air within route after draining coolant.
  7. Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). Then make sure that there are no leaks at fuel line connections.
  8. After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust systems for leakage.

Camshaft dowel pin hole (intake side): at cylinder head upper face side in each bank. Camshaft dowel pin (exhaust side): at cylinder head upper face side in each bank. Crankshaft key: at cylinder head side of RH bank. CAUTION: Hole on small diameter side must be used for intake camshaft sprocket dowel pin. Do not misidentify (ignore big diameter side).
  3. Install the timing chains (secondary) and camshaft sprockets. CAUTION: Matching marks between the timing chain and sprockets slip easily. Confirm all matching mark positions repeatedly during the installation process. Push the sleeve of the chain tensioner (secondary) and keep it pressed in with a stopper pin. Align the matching marks (4), (5), (7) and (10) on the timing chain (secondary) (8) (orange link) (2) with the ones on the camshaft sprockets (INT) and (EXH) (stamped), and install them. Matching marks for the camshaft sprocket (INT) are on the back side of the secondary sprocket. There are two types of matching marks, round (7) and (10) oval (4) and (5) types. They should be used for the RH and LH banks, respectively. RH bank: use round type (7) and (10). LH bank (6): use oval type (4) and (5). Align the dowel pin (3) with and pin hole on the camshaft sprocket (INT) side (1), and dowel pin groove (11) with the dowel pin on the camshaft sprocket (EXH) side, and install them. On the intake side, align the pin hole on the small diameter side of the camshaft front end with the dowel pin (3) on the back side of the camshaft sprocket (1), and install them. On the exhaust side, align the dowel pin on the camshaft front end with the dowel pin groove (11) on the camshaft sprocket (9), and install them. Camshaft sprocket bolts must be tightened in the next step. Tightening them by hand is enough to prevent the dislocation of the dowel pins (3) and dowel pin grooves (11). Check mating mark (punched) (D) on each camshaft sprocket are positioned on the mating marks (orange link) (C) on timing chain (secondary). Intake side Exhaust side NOTE: Mating mark (punched) in the figure is for checking loose at this step.

When it is difficult to align mating marks of the timing chain (primary) with each sprocket, gradually turn the camshaft using a wrench on the hexagonal portion to align it with the mating marks. During alignment, be careful to prevent dislocation of mating mark alignments of the secondary timing chains. (G): Water pump
  8. Install the internal chain guide (1), slack guide (2) and timing chain (primary). CAUTION: Do not overtighten the slack guide bolts. It is normal for a gap to exist under the bolt seats when the bolts are tightened to specification.
  9. Install the timing chain tensioner (primary) for the slack guide. When installing the timing chain tensioner (primary), push in the sleeve and keep it pressed in with the stopper pin. Remove any dirt and foreign materials completely from the back and the mounting surfaces of the timing chain tensioner (primary). After installation, pull out the stopper pin while pressing the slack guide.
  10. Reconfirm that the matching marks on the sprockets and the timing chain have not slipped out of alignment.
