When un-installation, begin by disconnecting the cable from the negative terminal of the battery also drain the cooling system and the engine oil. Then pull off the air filter housing, resonator, and air intake ducts, and then the drivebelt, engine cooling fan and both the upper and the lower radiator hoses. Remove the air conditioning compressor from the belt but no need to remove the hoses, use a rope or wire to tie and move it away from the engine. Proceed with the eliminations of the alternator, coolant reservoir, drivebelt tensioner, idler pulleys, AC and serpentine belt, and vibration damper, power steering pump, dipstick tube,
Oil Pan and pickup tube. Remove the heater hoses from the front cover and the water pump, timing cover screws, and front cover as well. After that, you need to have the crankshaft in the right position when you are checking the
Oil Pump and your timing marks. Pull back the tensioner and lock it, and then take out the bolt and the sprocket, timing chain. Examine the
Camshaft as well as the crankshaft sprockets and determine whether these are worn out or damaged and if ever the timing chain has to be changed, then the entire set will be required. For installation, clean the oil pan opening and sealing surfaces, the tensioner must be compressed, and the camshaft thrust plate fitted. Fit the timing chain and sprockets in place with the correct orientation and put thread lock on the camshaft sprocket bolt. Oiling of the chain should be done using clean engine oil, the drill bit should be removed from the tensioner and the marks aligned. Place the oil pump and the pickup tube properly with the correct torque in place. In the case of a damaged timing cover gasket, this must be replaced, then use RTV sealant to the gasket area and then fix the timing cover while tightening the bolts evenly. Last of all, add the oil pan, lubricate the vibration damper hub, and do the removal and installation process in a backward manner, and in the last add coolants and engine oil, starts the car to check for leaks.
