Timing Chain Cover: Installation

  1. Install new gasket and "O" rings on cylinder block. Rotate crankshaft so oil pump drive (flat areas) of crankshaft are vertically positioned.
  2. Align flat areas of oil pump in timing chain cover with crankshaft. Install cover. Check that oil pump engages properly with crankshaft. Install timing chain cover and tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  at end of this article.
  3. Using Seal Installer (C-4992), install seal until seal is even with surface of timing chain cover. Using Plate (L-4524), thrust bearing/washer and bolt, install vibration damper.
  4. Clean cam sensor mounting surface. If the same cam sensor is installed, use NEW spacer and "O" ring. If replacement cam sensor is installed, check that paper spacer and "O" ring are installed on sensor.
  5. Apply engine oil to cam sensor "O" ring and install sensor in timing chain cover. Hold sensor downward until sensor contacts camshaft timing gear and tighten to specification in this position. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  at end of this article. Reconnect sensor wiring.
  6. To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  at end of this article.
