Cam Chain Auto-Tensioner - Install
1.
Compress the cam chain auto-tensioner when replacing the cam chain. Remove the pin (A) from the cam chain auto-tensioner that was installed during removal. Turn the plate (B) counterclockwise, to release the lock, then press the rod (C), and set the first cam (D) to the first edge of the rack (E). Insert the 1.2 mm (3/64 in) diameter pin back into the holes (F).
NOTE: If the cam chain auto-tensioner is not set up as described, the cam chain auto-tensioner will be damaged.
2.
Install the cam chain auto-tensioner filter (A) and the cam chain auto-tensioner (B).
3.
Remove the pin (A) from the cam chain auto-tensioner.
Apply liquid gasket to the engine block, the cylinder head, and the oil pan mating surface of the cam chain case and to the inside edge of the threaded bolt holes.
3.
Set the edge of the cam chain case (A) to the edge of the oil pan (B), then install the cam chain case on the engine block (C). Wipe off the excess liquid gasket on the oil pan and the cam chain case mating area.
NOTE: When installing the cam chain case, do not slide the bottom surface onto the oil pan mounting surface.
Measure the length of the cam chain auto-tensioner rod.
Cam Chain Auto-Tensioner Rod Length
Standard (New):
20.0 mm (0.787 in)
Service Limit:
23.9 mm (0.941 in)
2.
If the length is over the service limit, replace the cam chain. When replacing, check the teeth on the cam chain drive sprocket, VTC actuator A, and VTC actuator B for wear and damage. If any of them are worn or damaged, replace if necessary.
3.
Check the oil passage on the cam chain auto-tensioner for clogs. If the cam chain auto-tensioner is clogged, replace it.
5.
