Removal

CAUTION:
- Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
- To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.

NOTE:
- Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
- Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No.1 piston is at top dead center.

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.

3. Remove the engine cover.
4. After recovering refrigerant, remove the high & low pressure pipe.
5. Remove the air duct (A).
6. Remove the air cleaner assembly (C) after removing the AFS connector (B).

Tightening torque :
Bolt : 7.8 - 9.8N.m (0.8 - 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 - 7.2lb-ft)

8. Remove the radiator lower hose (A).




9. Disconnect the engine wiring connectors.
(1) Disconnect the power steering oil pressure switch connector(A) and RH knock sensor connector(B).




(2) Disconnect the MAP sensor connector (A), ETC connector (B) and PVC hose (C).




(3) Disconnect the RH exhaust OCV connector (A), RH injector connector (B) and RH ignition coil connector (C), LH/RH intake OCV connector (D) and LH exhaust OCV connector (E), Oil pressure switch connector (F).




(4) Disconnect the LH injector connector (A) and LH ignition coil connector (B).




(5) Disconnect the PCSV connector (A), PCSV hose (B) and throttle body coolant hoses (C).




(6) Disconnect the LH exhaust CMP sensor connector (A).




(7) Disconnect the LH intake CMP sensor connector (A) and water temperature sensor connector (B).




(8) Disconnect the RH intake CMP sensor connector (A) and oil temperature sensor connector (B).




(9) Disconnect the RH exhaust CMP sensor connector (A).




10. Remove the LH side coolant pipe and hose (A).




11. Remove the RH side coolant pipe(A).




12. Remove the surge tank (A).




13. Disconnect the RH ignition coil connector (A) and the injector connector (B).




14. Remove the LH/RH ignition coils (A).








15. Remove the LH/RH cylinder head cover (A).








16. Remove the drive belt (B) after removing the oil level gauge tube (A).




17. Remove the power steering pump (A).




18. Remove the air conditioner compressor (A).




19. Remove the alternator (A).




20. Remove the drive belt idler (A).




21. Remove the drive belt auto tensioner (A).




22. Remove the water pump pulley (A).




23. Remove the oil filter body (A).




24. Set No.1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
(1) Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise and align its groove with the timing mark "T" of the lower timing chain cover.




(2) Check that the mark (A) of the camshaft timing sprockets are in straight line on the cylinder head surface as shown in the illustration. If not, turn the crankshaft clockwise one revolution (360°).









NOTE:
Do not rotate engine counterclockwise.

25. Remove the lower oil pan (A).
Insert the blade of SST(09215-3C000) between the upper oil pan and lower oil pan. Cut off applied sealer and remove the lower oil pan.





NOTE:
- Insert the SST between the oil pan and the ladder frame by tapping it with a plastic hammer in the direction of arrow.
- After tapping the SST with a plastic hammer along the direction of arrow around more than 2/3 edge of the oil pan, remove it from the ladder frame.
- Do not turn over the SST abruptly without tapping. It be result in damage of the SST.
- Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of Upper oil pan and lower oil pan.

26. Remove the crankshaft pulley (A).





NOTE:
- Use the SST(09231-2J210, 09231-2J200) to fix the crankshaft pulley.




27. Remove the water vent hose (A) from the timing chain cover.




28. Remove the timing chain cover (A).





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.
















29. Remove the oil pump chain cover (A).




30. Remove the oil pump chain tensioner assembly (A).




31. Remove the oil pump chain guide (A).




32. Install a set pin after compressing the RH timing chain tensioner.




33. Remove the RH timing chain auto tensioner (A) and the RH timing chain tensioner arm (B).




34. Remove the RH timing chain guide (A) and RH timing chain (B).




35. Remove the oil pump chain sprocket (A) and oil pump chain (B).




36. Remove the crankshaft sprocket (A) (O/P & RH camshaft drive).




37. Install a set pin after compressing the LH timing chain tensioner.




38. Remove the LH timing chain auto tensioner (A) and LH timing chain tensioner arm (B).




39. Remove the LH timing chain guide (A) and LH timing chain (B).




40. Remove the crankshaft sprocket (A). (LH camshaft drive).




41. Remove the tensioner adapter assembly (A).






Inspection

Sprockets, Chain Tensioner, Chain Guide, Chain Tensioner Arm
1. Check the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket for abnormal wear, cracks, or damage. Replace as necessary.
2. Inspect the tensioner arm and chain guide for abnormal wear, cracks, or damage. Replace as necessary.
3. Check that the tensioner piston moves smoothly when the ratchet pawl is released with thin rod.
