To replace the timing chain and sprockets, remove the Oil Pump first; secondly, go ahead and remove crankshaft sprocket to Oil Pump drive friction washer. Matching the timing marks employ the j 39946 (Crankshaft Socket). Last, remove the secondary timing chains, and those of the timing chain tensioner along with the oil outlet tube. Remove the timing chain guide bolts and guide as well as the camshaft intermediate sprocket retaining bolt. Consistently disengage the first camshaft motive drive chain, crankshaft sprocket, just as camshaft middle sprocket as an assembly then remove the crankshaft to crankshaft sprocket safe-breaking lacquerification washer. Clean and inspect the camshaft timing drive components (official webpage of Honda). For installation, locate the correct friction washer, and then choose the crankshaft to crankshaft sprocket friction washer that has an outer diameter of 63.5 mm (2.5000 in) and an inner diameter of 45.25 mm (1.7815 in) with a notch to clear the crankshaft pin. Install this washer while the timing marks of the camshaft intermediate and crankshaft sprocket be aligned vertically and install the timing chain of the camshaft by the use of the drive sprockets. Make sure that the number one piston is at top dead center (TDC) and the crankshaft pin is at the 1 o'clock position using the j 39946 (Crankshaft Socket) to rotate the strap as needed. In an assembly, install the timing chain, crankshaft sprocket, and a camshaft intermediate sprocket then bolt the camshaft intermediate sprocket retaining bolt to 60 nm (44 lb ft). Mount the timing chain guide and its bolts and tighten torquing to 25 nm (18 lb ft). Then fit the timing chain tensioner, the oil outlet tube with the bolts tightened to 10 nm (89 lb in) and the secondary timing chains. Pull out the pin from the timing chain tensioner release lever, straighten the primary marking vertically, and finally, bolt the crankshaft sprocket to Oil Pump drive friction washer with an outer diameter of 62.0mm (2.4410mm) and an inner diameter 45.25mm (1.7815 in) before re shall junction of the pump.
