(a) Make sure that all the timing marks are in the positions (TDC) shown in the illustration.

HINT
The positions of the timing marks may differ from the predetermined positions due to the force of the valve spring.

(b) Set the timing mark of the crankshaft in a position between ATDC 40 and 140°from the TDC as illustrated.





(c) Set the camshaft timing gear and the camshaft timing sprocket in the positions (ATDC 20°) shown in the illustration.





(d) Set the crankshaft in the position (ATDC 20°) shown in the illustration.
