NOTE: Case-halve mating may be difficult due to
tensioner pressure on the silent chain during
installation. Release tension at the ratcheting
cam to aid case half installation. Release the
tensioner spring after the case halves are mated
but not yet touching.
• Assemble the tensioner cam and tensioner
shoe and place them into the transmission.
• Insert the front pin through the tensioner cam
and the rear pin through the tensioner shoe.
• Place the spring over the front pin and hook
the spring leg under the cam.

• Lift the end of the spring up and over the rear

Sealant (PN 2871557) to the LH gearcase mating
surface and install the cover. Install and tighten the
20 screws in an even criss-cross pattern to evenly
secure the cover. Torque the screws to specification.
