- Apply engine coolant to O-rings (2, 3).
- Locate O-ring (2) with white paint mark (A) to engine front side.
CAUTION: Do not reuse O-rings.
Installation of remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
- After installation, refill engine coolant and check for leaks. Refer to Changing Engine Coolant and System Inspection .
  CAUTION: Do not spill engine coolant in engine compartment. Use a shop cloth to absorb engine coolant.
- After starting engine, let idle for three minutes, then rev engine up to 3, 000 RPM under no load to purge air from the high-pressure chamber of the chain tensioner. The engine may produce a rattling noise. This indicates that air still remains in the chamber and is not a matter of concern.
