Install both secondary chains onto the idler sprocket (2). Align two plated links on the secondary chains to be visible through the two lower
openings on the idler sprocket (4 o'clock and 8 o'clock). Once the secondary timing chains are installed, position special tool 8429 ( 1) to hold
chains in place for installation.

Align primary chain double plated links with the timing mark at 12 o'clock on the idler sprocket. Align the primary chain single plated link with
the timing mark at 6 o'clock on the crankshaft sprocket.

Lubricate idler shaft and bushings with clean engine oil.
NOTE: The idler sprocket must be timed to the counterbalance shaft drive gear before the idler sprocket is fully seated.

Install all chains, crankshaft sprocket, and idler sprocket as an assembly. After guiding both secondary chains through the block and cylinder head
openings, affix chains with a elastic strap or equivalent. This will maintain tension on chains to aid in installation. Align the timing mark (2) on the
idler sprocket gear (3) to the timing mark on the counterbalance shaft drive gear (1), then seat idler sprocket fully. Before installing idler sprocket
bolt, lubricate washer with oil, and tighten idler sprocket assembly retaining bolt to 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.).
NOTE: It will be necessary to slightly rotate camshafts for sprocket installation.
