Installation
1. Install the timing chain guide to the cylinder blocks (6010) with the pin of the guide inserted into the oil
hole in the block. Install the two retaining bolts, and tighten to 10-12 Nm (7-9 lb-ft).
2. Position the camshaft (6250) so the timing mark will align with the crankshaft (6303). Position the
crankshaft so the timing mark will align with the camshaft.
3. Install the crankshaft sprocket, camshaft and timing chain/belt together.
4. NOTE: Make sure that the tensioner side of the timing chain is held inward, and that the guide
side of the chain is straight and tight.
Install the crankshaft key and check the timing marks on the crankshaft sprocket and camshaft
sprocket for correct alignment (as shown).
