NOTE: Do not rotate engine counterclockwise.

Remove the timing chain cover.

(Refer to "TIMING CHAIN COVER ")

CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of cylinder block, cylinder head and timing chain cover.

NOTE: Before removing the timing chain, mark the RH/LH timing chain with an identification based on the location of the sprocket because the identification mark on the chain for TDC (Top Dead Center) can be erased.
