Timing Chain Cover: Installation

To install, reverse removal procedure.

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. Ensure oil pump engages properly with crankshaft. Install timing chain cover and tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
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 installing same cam sensor, use NEW paper spacer and "O" ring. If installing replacement sensor, ensure 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 down until sensor contacts camshaft timing gear. Tighten to specification in this position. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  . Reconnect sensor wiring.
6. To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure. Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  .
7. When filling cooling system, remove engine temperature sending unit. Sending unit is located in front of thermostat housing, near spark plug wire holder. Fill cooling system until coolant reaches this level. Install sending unit and tighten to 60 INCH lbs. (7 N.m). Finish filling cooling system.
