      *1 No. 1 Chain Vibration Damper *2 Chain Tensioner Slipper
      1. Check the status of the camshaft timing gear assembly and camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly temporarily installed to each camshaft.

        1. Camshaft timing gear assembly side:

        Check that the chain sub-assembly does not overlap the No. 1 chain vibration damper as shown in the illustration.

        NOTE:

        If the chain sub-assembly overlaps the No. 1 chain vibration damper, install it again.

        2. Camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly side:

        Check that the chain sub-assembly does not overlap the chain tensioner slipper as shown in the illustration.

        NOTE:

        If the chain sub-assembly overlaps the chain tensioner slipper, install it again.
