Preliminary Procedure Rotate the engine clockwise until the right hand bank camshaft flats with laser etched markings are straight up in relation to the cylinder head. The crankshaft key way will be at approximately the 3 o'clock position. WARNING: The timing chain tensioner plunger is under high tension and must be retained by using the tensioner retraction pin during removal or installation of the timing chain tensioner. Failure to retain the timing chain tensioner plunger may cause it to be ejected with intense force and cause personal injury. Reset the timing chain tensioner plunger using your thumb and EN-52234 or a 1/8" drill bit to retain the plunger. Compress the plunger into the body and lock the right timing chain tensioner by inserting EN-52234 or 1/8" drill bit into the access hole in the side of the right timing chain tensioner body. Slowly release pressure on the right timing chain tensioner. The right timing chain tensioner should remain compressed.
