• Q: How to install the No. 2 Timing Chain sub-assembly on 2010 Toyota Camry?

  A: At installation position, insert the crankshaft key into the left horizontal orientation while turning the drive shaft to expose the cutout facing up against the timing mark links of each gear. The installation requires fitting sprockets onto crankshaft and oil pump shaft with moving the chain between gears while temporarily fastening the oil pump drive shaft gear with its nut in place. The installation requires placing the damper spring into its adjusting hole before installing the chain tensioner plate along with its bolt which needs to be tightened to 12 Nm (122 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). Place a 4 mm diameter bar into the adjusting hole of the oil pump drive shaft gear while aligning it with the oil pump groove before tightening the nut to 30 Nm (301 kgf-cm, 22 ft-lbf). Place the crankshaft 90 degrees clockwise so its key faces upward before installing the crankshaft timing sprocket. Attach the No. 1 chain vibration damper through two bolts applying torque of 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf). Adjust the No. 1 cylinder to TDC/compression by using a wrench to align the timing marks on the camshaft timing gear with each corresponding timing mark on the No. 1 and No. 2 bearing caps when the crankshaft key faces upward. Position Special Service Tool: 09309-37010 onto the crankshaft timing sprocket while using a hammer to hit the involved components. The timing mark on the crankshaft needs alignment with the gold or pink mark link on the sprocket assembly. Place the gold or yellow mark link next to each timing mark on both camshaft timing gear and sprocket before installing the chain. After that install the timing chain guide and torque its bolt to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) and continue with the chain tensioner slipper bolt torqued to 19 Nm (194 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf). Fasten the timing chain case oil seal onto the timing chain cover subassembly while ensuring the No. 1 crankshaft position sensor plate has its "F" mark pointing toward the front. Run the 3 bolts of engine mounting bracket RH at 54 Nm torque before lifting the engine to install the RH insulator using 4 nuts (A torques to 95 Nm and B torques to 87 Nm) and finish with the FR insulator bolt torqued to 87 Nm. The installation process starts with removing worn packing material from oil pan surfaces after applying a continuous bead of 3.0 to 4.0 mm (0.118 to 0.157 in.) diameter seal packing. The next step is attaching the oil pan to the cylinder block followed by uniform torque tightening of all 12 bolts and 2 nuts according to a specified sequence to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf). The crank position sensor together with crankshaft pulley and No. 1 chain tensioner assembly should be installed after confirming the plunger position and tightening the two nuts to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf). Inspection of the cylinder head contact zone begins with removing all outdated packing materials before you apply new packing at specified locations. Then install the cylinder head cover with 8 bolts and 2 nuts (Bolt A receives 11 Nm (112 kgf-cm, 8 ft-lbf) torque) and Bolt B receives 14 Nm (143 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf), Nut is torqued to 11 Nm (112 kgf-cm, 8 ft-lbf) while installation of 2 engine wire bolts at 8.4 Nm (86 kgf-cm, Fasten the ignition coil assembly with No. 2 ventilation hose along with viewport hose using 4 bolts that need 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) torque. Follow this by installing the idler pulley bracket followed by the V-ribbed belt tensioner assembly together with the V-ribbed belt and then the V-ribbed belt tensioner cover sub-assembly. After installing the combination of No. 2 engine mounting bracket right-hand side and engine moving control rod sub-assembly and No. 2 engine mounting stay right-hand side you should proceed with installing the front exhaust pipe assembly. The engine oil application must be followed by cable attachment to the negative terminal and luggage trim service hole cover installation then leak inspections of engine oil and exhaust gas. Check ignition timing before you install the front fender apron seal RH, engine under cover LH, engine under cover RH, and front wheel RH and then add the No. 1 engine cover sub-assembly. After reconnecting the cable to the negative terminal you must execute the initialization process because certain vehicle systems demand it.
