Timing chain installation information needed

Hello,

I had a hard time finding these instructions in our reference materials, but after some searching I was able to find the procedure in the camshaft removal and installation section. Please keep this in mind when going through this guide. I have included this guide and a guide for checking the ignition timing on your vehicle in the diagrams down below. Please go through these guides and get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,
Alex

Here is the official picture. Let us know if you need more information. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Hi,

The manual doesn't break out only the tensioner. It provides the directions for chain and component replacement. Tensioner information is included. Here it is. The attached pics correlate with the directions.

Take care,

The front of the engine (timing cover) will need to be removed start by disconnecting the battery and draining the coolant out. Here is a guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

You can do it now or wait for it to rattle which you will never know till it happens

There is no set service time for a timing chain replacement, rattles cab caused by low oil pressure, worn tensioner and rails, if there is no noise I would not bother at this time, but I would flush the oil and replace the filter now just to be safe.
