1D-20 Engine Mechanical:
• When the "T" mark on the CKP rotor is aligned with the center of the CKP sensor, hold the camshaft steady and
lightly pull up the cam chain to remove any slack between the crankshaft sprocket and the exhaust camshaft
sprocket.
• The exhaust camshaft sprocket has an arrow marked "1". Turn the exhaust camshaft so that the arrow is aligned
with the gasket surface of the cylinder head.
• Engage the cam chain with the exhaust camshaft sprocket.
• The other arrow marked "2" should now be pointing straight up. Starting from the roller pin "B" that is directly above
the arrow marked "2", count out 24 roller pins (from the exhaust camshaft side going towards the intake camshaft
side).
• Engage the 24th roller pin "C" on the cam chain with the arrow marked "3" on the intake sprocket. Refer to the
following illustrations.
NOTE
The cam chain should now be on all three sprockets. Be careful not to move the crankshaft until the
camshaft journal holders and cam chain tensioner are secured.
