3. Rotate the crankshaft until the crankshaft sprocket alignment mark is in the 12 o'clock position.

Important:

• | Install the camshaft sprocket with the alignment mark in the 6 o'clock position.

• | The sprocket teeth must mesh with the timing chain in order to prevent damage to the camshaft retainer.

• | Do not use a hammer to install the camshaft sprocket onto the camshaft. To do so may damage the camshaft.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

6. Install the camshaft sprocket bolts.

Tighten

1. Tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts a first pass to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).
