It may be difficult to visually check the dislocation of mating marks during and after installation. To make the matching easier, make a
mating mark on the sprocket teeth in advance using paint.
8. Install secondary timing chain and sprocket to the other bank. Install primary timing chain at the same time.
^
Installation of the secondary timing chain follows the procedure described in step 6.
^
Install primary timing chain so that mating mark (punched) on camshaft sprocket is aligned with that (yellow link) on the timing chain, and
mating mark (notched) on crankshaft sprocket is aligned with that on the timing chain, respectively.
^
When it is difficult to align mating marks of the primary timing chain with each sprocket, gradually turn the camshaft hexagonal portion using
a spanner so it is aligned with the mating mark.
^
During alignment, be careful to prevent dislocation of mating marks on the secondary timing chain.
9. After confirming the mating marks are aligned, tighten the camshaft sprocket mounting bolts.
^
Secure the camshaft hexagonal portion using a spanner to tighten mounting bolts.
