•
Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of cylinder block, cylinder head and timing chain cover.
Installation
1.
Install the timing chain cover.
(1)
Using a gasket scraper, remove all the old packing material from the gasket surfaces.
(2)
The sealant locations on the chain cover and the counter parts (cam carrier, cylinder head, cylinder block, and ladder frame) must be free of harmful foreign materials, oil, dust and moisture. Spraying cleaner on the surface and wiping with a clean duster.
(3)
Before assembling the timing chain cover, liquid sealant should be applied on the gap between cam carrier, cylinder head and cylinder block.
Width : Ø 3.0 - 5.0 mm (0.1181 - 0.1969 in.)
Specification : MS 721-40 AA or AAO

(4)
After applying liquid sealant on the timing chain cover, assemble the cover within 5 minutes after sealant was applied. Continuous bead of sealant should be applied to prevent any path from oil leakage.
Bead width
Whole section: Ø 2.5 - 3.5 mm (0.10 - 0.14 in.)
Specification : MS 721-40 AA or AAO

(5)
Install the timing chain cover. The dowel pins on the cylinder block and holes on the timing chain cover should be used as a reference in order to assemble the timing chain cover in exact position.
Tightening torque
Bolts (A) : 39.2 - 44.1 N.m (4.0 - 4.5 kgf.m, 28.9 - 32.5 lb-ft)
Bolts (B,C) : 9.8 - 11.8 N.m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb-ft)
Bolts (D) : 18.6 - 23.5 N.m (1.9 - 2.4 kgf.m, 13.7 - 17.4 lb-ft)

  
•
The engine running or pressure test should not be performed within 30 minutes after the timing chain cover was assembled.
2.
Replace the front oil seal if necessary.
(Refer to Timing System - “Front Oil Seal”)
3.
Install the other parts in the reverse order of removal.

Timing Chain. Repair procedures

Removal
  
•
Be careful not to damage the parts located under the vehicle (floor under cover, fuel filter, fuel tank and canister) when raising the vehicle using the lift.
