INSPECTION OF COMPONENTS
1. MEASURE CHAIN AND SPROCKET WEAR
(a) Measure the length of 17 links with the chain fully
stretched.
(b) Make the same measurements at least three other
places selected at random.
Chain elongation limit at 17 links: 147.0 mm (5.787 in.)
If over the limit at any one place, replace the chain.
(c) Wrap the chain around the sprocket.
(d) Using a caliper gauge, measure the outer sides of
the chain rollers as shown. Measure both sprock-
ets.
Crankshaft sprocket minimum: 59.4 mm (2.339 in.)
Camshaft sprocket minimum: 113.8 mm (4.480 in.)
If the measurement is less than minimum, replace the
chain and two sprockets.
2. MEASURE CHAIN TENSIONER
Using a caliper gauge, measure the tensioner as
shown.
Tensioner minimum: 11.0 mm (0.433 in.)
If the tensioner is worn or less than minimum, replace
the chain tensioner.
3. MEASURE CHAIN DAMPERS
Using a micrometer, measure each damper.
Damper wear limit: 0.5 mm (0.020 in.)
If either damper is worn or less than minimum, replace
the damper.

INSTALLATION OF TIMING CHAIN
(See page EM−37)
1. INSTALL CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET AND CHAIN
(a) Turn the crankshaft until the shaft key is on top.
(b) Slide the sprocket over the key on the crankshaft.
(e) Place the timing chain on the sprocket with the sin−
gle bright chain link aligned with the timing mark on
the sprocket.
2. PLACE CHAIN ON CAMSHAFT SPROCKET
(a) Place the timing chain on the sprocket so that the
space between the bright chain links is aligned with
the timing mark.
(b) Make sure the chain is positioned dampers.
(c) Turn the camshaft sprocket counterclockwise to take
the slack out of the chain.
3. INSTALL OIL PUMP DRIVE SPLINE
Slide the oil pump drive spline over the crankshaft key.
HINT: If the oil pump drive spline is difficult to install by
hand, install using SST.
SST 09608−35014 (09608−06040)
4. INSTALL TIMING CHAIN COVER ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the old cover gaskets. Clean the gasket sur-
face. Install new gaskets over the dowels.

13. INSTALL OIL PAN
(a) Remove any old packing material and be careful no
to drop any oil on the contacting surfaces of the oil
pan and cylinder block.
• Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all
the packing (FIPG) material from the gasket sur-
faces.
• Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the
loose material.
• Clean both sealing surfaces with a non−residue
solvent.
NOTICE: Do not use a solvent which will affect the
painted surfaces.
(b) Apply seal packing to the joint part of the cylinder
block and chain cover, cylinder block and rear oil
seal retainer.
Seal packing: Part No. 08826−00080 or equivalent
(c) Apply seal packing to the oil pan as shown in the figure.
Seal packing: Part No. 08826−00080 or equivalent
• Install a nozzle that has been cut to a 5−mm (0.20
in.) opening.
HINT: Avoid applying an excess amount to the surface.
Be especially careful near oil passages.
• Parts must be assembled within 5 minutes of applica-
tion. Otherwise, the material must be removed and
re−applied.
• Immediately remove nozzle from tube and reinstall
cap.
(d) Install the oil pan over the studs on the block with six-
teen bolts and two nuts. Torque the bolts and nuts.
Torque: 130 kg−cm (9 ft−lb, 13 N−m)
(e) Install the engine under cover.
