c. Remove timing chain tensioner (1).
13. Remove slack guide (2), tension guide (3) and timing chain (1).
CAUTION:
Never rotate each crankshaft and camshaft individually while timing chain is removed. It causes interference between valve and piston.
NOTE:
If timing chain is difficult to remove, remove camshaft sprocket (EXH) first to remove timing chain.
14. Remove crankshaft sprocket and oil pump drive component with the following procedure:
a. Press stopper tab (A) in the direction shown in the figure to push the oil pump chain tensioner slack guide (B) toward oil pump chain tensioner
(1).
-
The oil pump chain tensioner slack guide is released by pressing the stopper tab. As the result, the oil pump chain tensioner slack guide can be
moved.
b. Insert a stopper pin (D) into tensioner body hole (C) to secure the oil pump chain tensioner slack guide.
NOTE:
Use a hard metal pin with the diameter of approximately 1.2 mm (0.047 in) as a stopper pin.
c. Remove oil pump chain tensioner.
-
When the holes on lever and tensioner body cannot be aligned, align these holes by slightly moving the oil pump chain tensioner slack guide.
