Timing chain cover removal is not required for this procedure.
• |
Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
|
• |
To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully
while holding the connector portion.
|
|
• |
Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
|
• |
Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is
at top dead center.
|
|
1. |
Remove the cylinder head cover. (Refer to Timing system in this
group)
|
2. |
Set No.1 cylinder to TDC (Top dead center) on compression stroke.
(1) |
Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the
timing mark of the timing chain cover.
|
(2) |
Check that the TDC marks of the intake and exhaust CVVT
sprockets are in straight line on the cylinder head surface
as shown in the illustration. If not, turn the crankshaft by
one revolution (360°) more.
|
(3) |
Mark the timing chains corresponding to the timing marks
of the CVVT sprockets.
|
|
3. |
Remove the crankshaft damper pulley.
Do not press the pulley or apply the excessive force to
prevent the rubber part from being deformed.
|
There are two methods to hold the ring gear when removing
the crankshaft damper pullly.
• |
Install the SST (09231-2B100) to hold the ring
gear after removing the starter.
|
• |
Install the SST (09231-3D100) to hold the ring
gear after removing the service cover.
|
1. |
Remove the air guard (A).
|
2. |
Remove the two transaxle mounting bolts (A) and
the service cover (B) on the bottom of the lower crankcase.
|
3. |
Adjust the length of the holder (A) so that the
grooves of the holder puts into the ring gears (B) at
the closest position.
|
4. |
Adjust the angle and length of the links (C) so
that the two transaxle mounting bolts can be fastened
into the original mounted holes.
|
5. |
Install the SST using the two transaxle mounting
bolts. Tighten the bolts and nuts of the holder and
links securely.
|
|
|
4. |
Remove the service plug bolt (A) with the gasket (B).
|
5. |
Remove the tensioner arm bolt (A).
|
6. |
Push down the tensioner arm (A).
|
7. |
Remove the camshaft bearing caps.
|
8. |
Remove the exhaust camshaft (A) first, then intake camshaft (B).
|
9. |
Remove the tensioner arm (A).
To hold the timing chain, tie it with strap.
|
|
1.
Compress the piston of the tensioner using a handy bar (A) and
then insert a stopper pin (B) into the hole on the tensioner to hold
the compressed piston.
