1. Install:
NOTE:
Pass the timing chain through the timing chain cavity.
2. Tighten:
NOTE:
3. Install:
a. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise.
b. Align the "I" mark "a" on the generator rotor with the stationary pointer "b" on the generator cover.
c. Align the "I" mark "c" on the camshaft sprocket with the stationary pointer "d" on the cylinder head.
d. Install the timing chain onto the camshaft sprocket, and then install the camshaft sprocket onto the camshaft.
NOTE:
When installing the camshaft sprocket, be sure to keep the timing chain as tight as possible on the exhaust side.
CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft when installing the camshaft(s) to avoid damage or improper valve timing. |
e. While holding the camshaft, temporarily tighten the camshaft sprocket bolt.
f. Remove the wire from the timing chain.
4. Install:
a. Apply sealant to the timing chain tensioner bolt threads.
b. While lightly pressing the timing chain tensioner rod by hand, turn the tensioner rod fully clockwise with a thin screwdriver "1".
c. With the timing chain tensioner rod turned all the way into the timing chain tensioner housing (with the thin screwdriver still installed), install the gasket and the timing chain tensioner "2" onto the cylinder block.
d. Tighten the timing chain tensioner bolts "3" to the specified torque.
e. Remove the screwdriver, make sure the timing chain tensioner rod releases.
5. Turn:
6. Check:
Out of alignment Correct.
Refer to the installation steps above.
7. Tighten:
CAUTION: Be sure to tighten the camshaft sprocket bolt to the specified torque to avoid the possibility of the bolt coming loose and damaging the engine. |

Periodic maintenance and lubrication chart
NOTE:
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a
kilometer-based maintenance,
or for the UK, a mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.
From 30000 km (17500 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting
from 6000 km (3500 mi).

Checking the spark plug
The spark plug is an important engine
component, which is easy to check.
Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plug should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the ...
