TIMING CHAIN REMOVAL / INSTALLATION
Removal
Caution:
-
The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, with diamond washers between the flange faces on each part.
For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if you loosen the pulley. Therefore the engine must be retimed each time the damper is
removed. Otherwise severe damage can occur.
1. Remove the engine front cover.
2. Remove the timing chain tensioner.
1. Compress the timing chain tensioner, and insert a paper clip into the hole.
2. Remove the bolts and timing chain tensioner.
3. Remove the right-hand timing chain guide.
4. Remove the timing chain.
