Timing Chain Tensioner Installation




1. Install the chain tensioner assembly.

Note: Make sure that the cam engages the first tooth of the plunger to allow the hook (4) to pass over the pin (5).

2. Release the ratchet pawl, then fully push in the plunger and engage the hook to the pin so that the plunger is in the position shown in the illustration.





Note: If the hook releases the plunger while the chain tensioner is being installed, engage the hook again.

3. Install a new gasket, bracket and the chain tensioner with the 2 nuts (1,2) and tighten to 10 Nm (7 lb ft).




4. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise, then disconnect the plunger knock pin from the hook (1).




5. Turn the crankshaft clockwise, then check that the plunger (1) is extended.
