>> A << Timing Chain Case Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
CAUTION:
- Completely remove all the old liquid gasket, which might be remaining in the installation hole, the O-ring groove or among the components such as the cylinder head gasket.
- Sufficiently check that there is no residual oil on the place where degreasing is performed. If fingerprints are left, do not touch it with bare hands after the degreasing, since the oils from your fingers will harm the seal ability.
- Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the timing chain case, cylinder block and cylinder head.
- Degrease the surface where the liquid gasket is applied and the contact surface between the cylinder block and the cylinder head.

CAUTION: Install the timing chain case within three minutes after applying liquid gasket. - Apply liquid gasket (Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent) of 2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch) in thickness to the timing chain case. For illustrated A locations, however, apply liquid gasket of 4.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.18 ± 0.02 inch) in diameter or liquid gasket of 2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch) by putting one on top of another as shown in the illustration.
- Completely remove the sealant remaining on the gasket which is the three-plane mating surface between the cylinder head and the cylinder block.
- The engine oil remaining at the cylinder gasket overflows from the three-plane mating surface described in Section 4. Apply the liquid gasket (Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent) to this area as soon as grease is removed.
- Install the timing chain case.
- Tighten timing chain case mounting bolts to the specified torque.NOTE: Be careful when install mounting bolts as they are different in length.
Specified torque
- 24 ± 4 N.m (18 ± 2 ft-lb)
- 10 ± 2 N.m (89 ± 17 in-lb)
- 10 ± 2 N.m (89 ± 17 in-lb)
- 13 ± 1 N.m (115 ± 8 in-lb)
