CAUTION:
- Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if you loosen the pulley bolt. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.
- During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material (including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces) that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine failure.
- Turn the crankshaft clockwise to position the No. 1 piston at TDC.

CAUTION:
Failure to position the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC) can result in damage to the engine. Turn the engine in the normal direction of rotation only.
NOTE:
The special tool will contact the crankshaft and prevent it from turning past TDC. However, the crankshaft can still be rotated in the counterclockwise direction. The crankshaft must remain at the TDC position until the timing drive components and crankshaft pulley are installed.
NOTE:
Clean the oil pump and cylinder block mating surfaces with metal surface cleaner.
CAUTION:
Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool and metal surface cleaner to remove traces of sealant.
NOTE:
If the oil pan is not secured within 4 minutes of sealant application, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
CAUTION:
NOTE:
If there is no residual gasket material present, metal surface prep can be used to clean and prepare the surfaces.
NOTE:
CAUTION:
Install the camshafts with the alignment slots in the camshafts lined up so the Camshaft Alignment Plate can be installed without rotating the camshafts. Make sure the lobes on the No. 1 cylinder are in the same position as noted in the disassembly procedure. Rotating the camshafts when the timing chain is removed, or installing the camshafts 180 degrees out of position, can cause severe damage to the valves and pistons.
NOTE:
Lubricate the camshaft journals and bearing caps with clean engine oil.
NOTE:
Install a crankshaft sprocket diamond washer on both sides of the crankshaft sprocket.
CAUTION:
The special tool 303-465 is for camshaft alignment only. Using this tool to prevent engine rotation can result in engine damage.
CAUTION:
Do not compress the ratchet assembly. This will damage the ratchet assembly.
CAUTION:
The special tool 303-465 is for camshaft alignment only. Using this tool to prevent engine rotation can result in engine damage.
CAUTION:
Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive disks or other abrasive means to clean sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths.
NOTE:
The engine front cover must be installed and the bolts tightened within 4 minutes of applying the silicone gasket and sealant.
NOTE:
CAUTION:
Do not install the crankshaft pulley bolt at this time.
NOTE:
Apply clean engine oil on the seal area before installing.
CAUTION:
Only hand-tighten the 6 mm (0.23 in) bolt or damage to the front cover can occur.
NOTE:
This step will correctly align the crankshaft pulley to the crankshaft.
CAUTION:
NOTE:
Only turn the engine in the normal direction of rotation.
NOTE:
Only turn the engine in the normal direction of rotation.
CAUTION:
Only hand-tighten the bolt or damage to the front cover can occur.
NOTE:
Whenever the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is removed, a new one must be installed using the alignment tool supplied with the new part.
NOTE:
The CKP sensor alignment tool is supplied with the new sensor and is not available separately.
CAUTION:
Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths.
NOTE:
The valve cover must be secured within 4 minutes of silicone gasket application. If the valve cover is not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner.
CAUTION:
Only use hand tools when removing or installing the spark plugs, damage can occur to the cylinder head or spark plug.
NOTE:
Apply dielectric compound to the inside of the coil-on-plug boots.
NOTE:
Clean the gasket mating surfaces with metal surface cleaner.
NOTE:
The knock sensor (KS) must not touch the crankcase vent oil separator.
NOTE:
Clean and inspect the thermostat housing gasket. Install a new gasket if necessary.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Special bolts are used for installation. Do not use standard bolts.
