1. Refer to Workshop Manual section 414-00 and disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Refer to Workshop Manual section 303-01 and remove the lower timing cover.
3. Check that the tensioner plunger is not stuck within the tensioner body.
^ If there is a gap between the tensioner plunger and the tensioner blade, the tensioner plunger is stuck within the tensioner body, carry out
steps 5 to 9.
^ If there is no gap between the tensioner plunger and the tensioner blade, carry out step 4.
4. Make sure that the timing chain tensioner plunger is positioned in the first ratchet position.
^ Firmly squeeze the timing chain to see if the tensioner plunger retracts in to the tensioner body.
^ If the tensioner plunger retracts all the way in to the tensioner body and/or if the tensioner blade makes contact with the tensioner body, the
tensioner plunger is not in the first ratchet position, carry out steps 10 to 12.
NOTE:
Only carry out steps 5 to 9 if the tensioner plunger is stuck within the tensioner body.
