WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Install the timing chain cover.

The sealant locations on chain cover and on counter parts (cylinder head, cylinder block, and lower oil pan) must be free of engine oil and etc.

Install the new gasket and O-ring (A).

NOTE:

Fill six (6) T-joint areas with sealant.
Apply sealant all around dowel pin holes.

Before assembling the timing chain cover, apply the liquid sealant TB 1217H on the gap between cylinder head and cylinder block. Assemble the part within 5 minutes of applying sealant.

Bead width: 4.0 mm (0.2 in.)

NOTE:

Make sure that remove the variable force solenoid (VFS) before removing the timing chain cover.

NOTE:

Do not use any dropped variable force solenoid (VFS) valve.
Note below cautions when installing variable force solenoid (VFS) valve.

After replacing the O-ring (A) of variable force solenoid (VFS) valve, apply engine oil on new O-ring (A).

Push variable force solenoid (VFS) valve up to the timing chain cover, and temporarily tighten the bolt.
Tighten the variable force solenoid (VFS) valve to the specified torque.

Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.

NOTE:

Refill engine oil.
Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper. Assemble and then apply grease to prevent corrosion.
Inspect for fuel leakage.

After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (without operating the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two to three times, and then check for fuel leakage at any point on the fuel lines.

Refill radiator and reservoir tank with engine coolant.
Bleed air from the cooling system.

Start engine and let it run until it warms up (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times).
Turn off the engine and let it cool down. Check the level in the radiator, and add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be released from the cooling system.
Put radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
