ALL VEHICLES
NOTE:
LH shown; RH similar.
NOTE:
Lubricate the new bolt heads and threads. Use clean engine oil.
NOTE:
Lubricate the hydraulic lash adjusters with clean engine oil.
ENGINES WITH RATCHETING TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS
CAUTION:
Timing chain procedures must be followed exactly or damage to valves and pistons will result.
CAUTION:
Do not compress the ratchet assembly. This will damage the ratchet assembly.
NOTE:
LH shown, RH similar.
ENGINES WITH NON-RATCHETING TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS
ALL ENGINES
CAUTION:
Unless otherwise instructed, at no time when the timing chains are removed and the cylinder heads are installed is the crankshaft or camshaft to be rotated. Severe piston and valve damage will occur.
NOTE:
If necessary, adjust the camshaft sprocket slightly to obtain timing mark alignment.

ENGINES WITH NON-RATCHETING TIMING CHAIN TENSIONERS
ALL ENGINES
NOTE:
If the engine front cover is not secured within four minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can result in future oil leakage.
CAUTION:
If reusing the roller followers, install them in their original locations.
NOTE:
If the valve cover is not secured within four minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can result in future oil leakage.
