Set No.1 cylinder to top dead center (TDC)/compression.
Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise and align its groove with the timing mark "T" of the lower timing chain cover.
Check that the mark (A) of the camshaft timing sprockets are in straight line on the cylinder head surface as shown in the illustration. If not, turn the crankshaft clockwise one revolution (360°).
Do not rotate engine counterclockwise.
Remove the timing chain cover.
(Refer to Timing System - "Timing Chain Cover")
Before removing the timing chain, mark the RH/LH timing chain with an identification based on the location of the sprocket because the identification mark on the chain for TDC can be erased.
Remove the RH cam to cam guide (A).
Install a set pin after compressing the RH timing chain tensioner.
Remove the RH timing chain auto tensioner (A) and the RH timing chain tensioner arm (B).
Remove the RH timing chain guide (A) and RH timing chain (B).
Remove the oil pump chain cover (A).
Remove the oil pump chain tensioner assembly (A).
Remove the oil pump chain guide (A).
Remove the oil pump chain sprocket (A) and oil pump chain (B).
Remove the crankshaft sprocket (A) (O/P & RH camshaft drive).
Install a set pin after compressing the LH timing chain tensioner.
Remove the LH cam to cam guide (A).
Remove the LH timing chain auto tensioner (A) and LH timing chain tensioner arm (B).
Remove the LH timing chain guide (A) and LH timing chain (B).
Remove the crankshaft sprocket (A). (LH camshaft drive).
Remove the tensioner adapter assembly (A).
