Installation Procedure






Important: Ensure the proper friction washer is installed in the correct position.


1. Select the crankshaft to crankshaft sprocket friction washer (1). The outer diameter is 63.5 mm (2.5000 in), an inner diameter of 45.25 mm (1.7815 in) and a notch to clear the crankshaft pin.




2. Install the crankshaft to crankshaft sprocket friction washer.




3. Align the timing marks (1) of the camshaft intermediate and crankshaft sprockets. The marks should be aligned vertically in the installed position.
4. Install the primary camshaft drive chain on the drive sprockets.




5. Ensure the number one piston is at Top Dead Center (TDC) and the crankshaft pin is approximately at the 1 o'clock position. Use the J 39946 to rotate the crankshaft as necessary.
6. Install the following as an assembly:

* The primary camshaft drive chain (3)
* The crankshaft sprocket
* The camshaft intermediate sprocket






Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice (Fastener Notice) .

7. Install the camshaft intermediate sprocket retaining bolt.

Tighten the camshaft intermediate sprocket retaining bolt to 60 N.m (44 lb ft).





8. Install the primary drive chain guide.
9. Install the primary drive chain guide bolts.

Tighten the primary drive chain guide bolts to 25 N.m (18 lb ft).
