    RECOMMENDATIONS

    Inspection
    Figure 2.

    1. Set the No. 1 cylinder to TDC/compression


    A. Set the timing mark to 0° on the timing chain cover by
    rotating the crankshaft clockwise.

    B. Verify the timing marks on the camshaft timing gears


    are in general alignment with the timing marks of the
    camshaft bearing cap:

    HINT:
    When the engine is correctly timed, the timing marks may NOT perfectly align.

    HINT:
    If the timing marks appear vastly out of alignment, turn the crankshaft one
    revolution (360°) clockwise and note the position of the timing marks.

    Component Removal Guidelines


    1. If engine disassembly that involves removing the camshafts or timing gears is required, set the #1
    cylinder to TDC compression, wipe away any oil, and mark the following items in relation to each other
    prior to disassembly:
     Timing Gears
     Timing Chain
     Timing Chain No.2

    NOTE:
    This relationship MUST be maintained. The intake gear is timed in relation to the crankshaft via the
    timing chain; the exhaust gear is timed in relation to the intake gear via the No. 2 timing chain.

    2. If NEW camshaft timing gears or the No. 2 timing chain Figure 7.


    are being installed, the two yellow links on the No.2 timing
    chain can be used to ensure correct relationship between
    the intake timing gear and the exhaust timing gear.

    Yellow Link
    A. Align the paint mark on the timing chain with the intake gear timing mark (to ensure the intake gear is
    correctly timed to the crankshaft).

    B. Align the two yellow links on the No. 2 timing chain to the timing marks on the new camshaft gears (to
    ensure the exhaust gear is correctly timed to the intake gear).
