Set the dowel pin (A) of crankshaft about 3° with vertical center line. As a result of this, the piston of No.1 cylinder is placed at the top dead center on compression stroke.

Align the mark of the exhaust camshaft sprocket and intake CVVT on the top surface of cylinder head. As a result of this, the piston of No.1 cylinder is placed at the top dead center on compression stroke.
Install the timing chain guide (A).
Tightening torque :
18.6 ~ 21.6 N.m (1.9 ~ 2.2 kgf.m, 13.7 ~ 15.9 lb-ft)
Install the timing chain (A).
When installing the timing chain without slack, the following procedure is recommended.
Crankshaft sprocket → Timing chain guide → Intake CVVT → Exhaust CVVT sprocket
The timing mark of each sprocket should be matched with timing mark (color link) of timing chain during installation.
Install the timing chain tensioner arm (A) and the timing chain tensioner (B) and then remove the stopper pin.
Tightening torque :
9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)
After rotating the crankshaft 2 revolutions in regular direction (clockwise viewed from front), confirm the timing mark.
Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
Turning the crankshaft counter clockwise before building up oil pressure in the hydraulic timing chain tensioner may result in the chain disengaging from the sprocket teeth.
Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
