You really need an FSM as a guide to do it right. Tighten head bolts in the correct order as follows: 9 3 1 6 8Р”В§ 5 2 4 10 First time around tighten to 22 ft-lb.

How to check ka24de timing marks install#

While you have the head off, this would be a good time to regrind the valves/seats and to install new valve stem seals if you've got a lot of miles on car. Remove head bolts in the correct order as follows: 2 8 10 5 3Р”В¤ 6 9 7 1 Head bolts should be loosened in two to three steps. Disconnect all vacuum lines attached to head and mark them. Disconnect all remaining electrical connectors/wires going to head and mark them. The wedge should have a wire attached to it which will hang over the edge of the timing cover so that it can be pulled easily you can use nylon ties instead to hold each side of the chain up. At this point you need to install a wedge down between the two sides of the chain so that the chain doesn't drop down and disengage from the bottom crank sprocket or it will lose it's timing position. What ever you do, make sure the motor is NOT turned from this point on or your cam timing can get screwed up. Make note of timing marks on sprocket and chain. The confusion is that both idler sprockets have two engraving marks with a little less than a 90 degree separation.

The upper timing chain has three yellow colored links separated by an equal number of links. Make sure the crank pulley '0' mark lines up with the pointer. I have the valve cover off and can view the two idler sprockets. This is a trial and error thing where if filing by hand you will have to file a little re-fit the ring than keep checking the end gap. Remove the piston and check the end gap with a feeler gauge as pictured.

Remove spark plugs then turn the motor over so that #1 piston is at TDC on the COMPRESSION STROKE. Using the piston that will be installed into the cylinder your working with push the ring into place with the piston down to the wrist pin.
