8. Pull the stopper pins out from the secondary timing chain tensioners.
9. Install the crankshaft sprocket on the crankshaft.
^
Make sure the mating marks on the crankshaft sprocket face the front of the engine
10. Install the primary timing chain.
^
Install primary timing chain so the mating mark (punched) on camshaft sprocket is aligned with the yellow link on the timing chain. While the
mating mark (notched) on the crankshaft sprocket is aligned with the orange one on the timing chain, as shown.
^
When it is difficult to align mating marks of the primary timing chain 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.
