REMOVAL
1. Remove the cylinder front
cover, following the procedures under
"Cylinder Front Cover Removal."
Remove the oil slinger from the
crankshaft.
2. Rotate the crankshaft in a clock-
wise direction (as viewed from the
front) to take up the slack on the
left side of the chain.
3. Establish a reference point on
the block and measure from this
point to the chain (Fig. 30).
4. Rotate the crankshaft in the
opposite direction to take up the
slack on the right side of the chain.
Force the left side of the chain out
with the fingers and measure the
distance between the reference point
and the chain. The deflection is the
difference between the two measure-
ments.

sprocket (Fig. 34) with the timing
mark facing the front of the car.
2. Position the timing chain
around the camshaft sprocket. Align
the timing mark on the camshaft
sprocket with the mark on the crank-
shaft sprocket (Fig. 32).
3. Position the camshaft sprocket
on the camshaft (Fig. 32). Install
the wear plate, fuel pump eccentric
sleeve, drive bushing, lock plate
and mounting bolts. The timing
marks must be adjacent and on
the same vertical centerline (Fig.
31). If the timing marks are not
positioned as shown in the illus-
tration, remove the camshaft
sprocket and timing chain; then,
install the units correctly.
