CAUTION: Always install the new timing chain with
the oil holes pointing up. Failure to do so will result
in severe engine damage.
NOTE: Always keep new timing chain meshed with
camshaft sprocket.
CAUTION: DO NOT CRANK ENGINE and DO NOT
ROTATE ENGINE BACKWARD. Engine rotation is
clockwise, as you are looking at the engine. Rotate
engine at crankshaft only.

ing chain is drawn in.
