INSTALLATION






NOTE: The silver bolts retain the guides to the cylinder heads and the black bolts retain the guides to the engine block.


CAUTION: Overtightening the tensioner arm torx® bolt can cause severe damage to the cylinder head. Tighten torx® bolt to specified torque only.











NOTE: It will be necessary to slightly rotate camshafts for sprocket installation.



CAUTION: Remove excess oil from the camshaft sprocket bolt. Failure to do so can result in over-torque of bolt resulting in bolt failure.



CAUTION: Ensure the plate between the left secondary chain tensioner and block is correctly installed.


NOTE: Left and right secondary chain tensioners are not common.



CAUTION: After pulling locking pins out of each tensioner, DO NOT manually extend the tensioner(s) ratchet. Doing so will over tension the chains, resulting in noise and/or high timing chain loads.







  • primary chain idler sprocket dot is at 12 o'clock.
  • primary chain crankshaft sprocket dot is at 6 o'clock.
  • secondary chain camshaft sprockets “V8” marks are at 12 o'clock.
