Timing Chain Tensioner



Crankshaft Pulley
Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
Torque 44.1 Nm (4.5 kg-m, 33 ft. lbs.)

Further tighten crankshaft pulley bolt by 90 degrees. (Angle tightening).
CAUTION: Check the tightening angle by using the angle wrench [SST]. Avoid judgment by visual inspection without SST.
Check tightening angle indicated on the angle wrench indicator plate.
Rotate crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when viewed from front) to confirm it turns smoothly
For the following operations, perform steps in the reverse order of removal.
Timing Cover

Tighten mounting bolts to the specified torque in numerical order as shown in the figure.
There are two type of mounting bolts. Refer to the following for locating bolts.
M8 bolts: 1, 2 28.4 Nm (2.9 kg-m, 21 ft. lbs.)
M6 bolts: Except the above 12.7 Nm (1.3 kg-m, 9 ft. lbs.)
After all bolts tightened, retighten them to the specified torque in numerical order as shown in the figure.
