Tools Required

1. Install the key into the slot in the crankshaft (if removed).
2. Use the J 5590 and a hammer in order to install the crankshaft sprocket.




Important: The sprockets must mesh in order to prevent damage to the camshaft retainer.

3. Install the camshaft sprocket and timing chain.




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 camshaft sprocket bolts.

Important: Be sure to align the camshaft and the crankshaft sprocket alignment marks.

Tighten
Tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
