For 1990-2009 cars

1. Use a wrench in order to align the camshaft timing marks.

Be sure to place the wrench on the hexagonal portion of the camshafts.

2. Turn the camshafts in order to align the timing marks.
3. Turn the crankshaft until the crankshaft keyway (1) faces upward.

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.

4. Install the timing chain shoe. Secure the timing chain shoe using two bolts (1, 2).

Tighten
Tighten the timing chain shoe bolts to 10 N·m (89 lb in).

5. Install the following components together:

• | The timing chain (2)

• | The crankshaft timing sprocket

6. Install the timing chain (1) onto the camshafts timing sprockets (3).

Ensure that the timing chain links are aligned with the timing marks.

7. Install the timing chain dampener. Secure the timing chain dampener using one bolt (1).

Tighten
Tighten the timing chain dampener bolt to 18 N·m (14 lb ft).
