INSTALLATION - TIMING CHAIN
CAUTION: IT IS ESSENTIAL that the installation procedure is followed exactly. Failure to do so will result in severe engine damage.
CAUTION: Cover timing case recesses to prevent foreign material from entering engine.
1. Connect new timing chain, oil hole side up and old timing chain with the assembly link, the assembly plate and the assembly locking element, and
secure (Fig. 80).
CAUTION: Always install the new timing chain with the oil holes pointing up. Failure to do so will result in severe engine damage.
NOTE: Always keep new timing chain meshed with camshaft sprocket.
CAUTION: DO NOT CRANK ENGINE and DO NOT ROTATE ENGINE BACKWARD. Engine rotation is clockwise, as you are looking at the
engine. Rotate engine at crankshaft only.
NOTE: Draw out the end of old timing chain evenly as it becomes free, to the same extent that new timing chain is drawn in.
