If the plunger projection does not satisfy the standard value [approximately 4 mm (0.2 inch)], observe the following procedure to adjust it.
1. Pull the pin or the similar tool out of the tensioner.
2. Rotate the tensioner cam in the arrow direction to push the plunger slowly.
3. Insert the pin or the similar tool again when the plunger projection reaches approximately 4 mm (0.2 inch).
4. Check that the projection of the locked plunger is approximately 4 mm (0.2 inch).

Install the timing chain tensioner with the pin or the similar tool to the cylinder block, and tighten the timing chain tensioner mounting bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque: 9.5 ± 2.5 N.m (84 ± 22 in-lb)
After installing the timing chain tensioner, confirm that the timing marks of each sprocket are aligned with the TDC of number 1 cylinder, and the marked link plate (blue-colored area) of the timing chain is aligned with the specified position of each sprocket. Then pull out the pin or a similar tool of the timing chain tensioner, and apply tension to the timing chain.
Remove the crankshaft adapter special tool (MB992000).
