  Q: How to remove the timing chain on Toyota Solara?

  A:

  Begin by uninstalling the hood sub-assembly followed by the front wheel RH and then removing both engine under covers LH and RH together with the front fender apron seal RH. The engine oil requires drainage followed by new gasket installation before securing the drain plug at 25 Nm torque (255 kgf-cm, 18 ft-lbf). Remove the front Exhaust Pipe assembly followed by the engine moving control rod with bracket then the engine mounting stay No.2 RH along with the engine mounting bracket No.2 RH. Proceed with the removal of the fan and generator V belt and then follow with the sequence of taking out the No.1 engine cover sub-assembly and engine wire and generator assembly and vane pump assembly and Ignition Coil assembly and lastly disconnect the ventilation hoses. Seamlessly disconnect the engine wire harness clamp from the cylinder head cover sub-assembly following removal of 8 bolts and 2 nuts. The repair technician should start by positioning the No.1 cylinder at TDC/compression before using Special Service Tools 09960-10010 and 09962-01000 to fix the pulley followed by loosening the bolt and completing its removal with Special Service Tools 09950-40011, 09951-04010, 09952-04010, 09953-04030, 09954-04010, 09955-04041, 09957-04010 and 91111-51014. Before separation cut the sealer between oil pan and crankcase with an oil pan seal cutter while removing 12 bolts and 2 nuts from the Crankshaft Position Sensor and oil pan sub-assembly. The crankshaft should stay stationary when you uninstall No.1 chain tensioner assembly. Proceed to uninstall the bolt and nut and tensioner component from the V-ribbed belt tensioner assembly regardless of spring inclusion. Attach the engine hangers No. 1 and No. 2 with bolts that reach 38 Nm (387 kgf-cm, 28 ft-lbf) torque specification before connecting the engine chain hoist to the hangers. The first step requires removal of the bolt to disconnect FR from the engine mounting insulator. Next disconnect the manual transmission engine lateral control rod by removing the bolt. A steering gear return hose clamp must also be disconnected from the frame. Raising the engine becomes possible after you remove the 4 nuts from around the engine mounting insulator RH. The engine mounting bracket RH must be removed after removing 3 bolts, followed by timing chain cover sub-assembly extraction. With proper tooling remove the crankshaft position sensor plate No.1 and each of the chain tensioner slipper and chain vibration damper No.1, timing chain guide and bolts. Extract the combination of chain components along with the crankshaft timing sprocket. The maintenance of the No.2 chain sub-assembly requires counter-clockwise crankshaft rotation by 90 degrees followed by alignment of the oil pump driven sprocket adjusting hole with the pump groove and securement with a 4 mm (0.16 in.) bar prior to removing the nut, bolt, chain tensioner plate, spring, chain tensioner and oil pump driven sprocket, and chain.

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

  A:

  Before installing the 2AZ-FE No.2 chain sub-assembly you must place the crankshaft key in its left horizontal orientation then turn the oil pump drive shaft cutout to its upper platform. Fasten the oil pump driven sprocket with the nut after setting it into position using a 4 mm (0.16 in.) bar. Apply torque to 30 Nm (301 kgf-cm, 22 ft-lbf), then lock it temporarily by tightening the nut on the oil pump driven sprocket. To align the crankshaft key at the top position turn it counterclockwise by 90 degrees. Two bolts should be installed on the crankshaft sprocket while using 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) torque to secure the chain vibration damper. Set the No.1 cylinder at TDC/compression alignment by placing the timing marks from the camshaft timing gear/sprocket and bearing caps together and using Special Service Tool: 09309-37010 to align the gold or orange mark link to the crankshaft timing sprocket timing mark for sprocket insertion. Fasten the timing chain guide under 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) and the chain tensioner slipper with 19 Nm (194 kgf-cm, 14 ft-lbf). Installation of the Crankshaft Position Sensor plate begins with setting its F mark toward the front and then placing the timing chain cover sub-assembly. The V-ribbed belt tensioner assembly installation requires bolt and nut tightening to reach 60 Nm (607 kgf-cm, 44 ft-lbf), but keep the pin out of the unit if you replace it with new hardware. You should raise the engine to install its engine mounting insulator RH by torquing Nut A to 95 Nm (969 kgf-cm, 70 ft-lbf) and Nut B to 87 Nm (888 kgf-cm, 64 ft-lbf). The installation of the steering gear return hose clamp to the frame requires a bolt torque of 8.0 Nm (80 kgf-cm, 69 in-lbf) while the engine mounting insulator FR needs a bolt torque of 87 Nm (888 kgf-cm, 64 ft-lbf). The manual transmission engine lateral control rod must be secured with a bolt achieving 89 Nm of torque (910 kgf-cm, 66 ft-lbf). The installation of the oil pan requires 12 bolts and two nuts which need tightness to 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) while applying seal packing of 4 to 4.5 mm (0.16 to 0.18 in.) diameter in one continuous bead. Following the crankshaft position sensor installation apply the correct wire harness positioning and install the No.1 chain tensioner assembly first before bolting the sensor down with 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf). Secure the crankshaft pulley using Special Service Tool: 09960-10010, 09962-01000, 09963-01000 while aligning the pulley set key against the key groove then torque the pulley bolt to 180 Nm (1836 kgf-cm, 135 ft-lbf). You should turn the crankshaft counterclockwise to remove the plunger knock pin before testing that the plunger pushes the slipper by turning the crankshaft clockwise. The cylinder head cover sub-assembly can be installed along with the Ignition Coil assembly which requires a torque setting of 9.0 Nm (92 kgf-cm, 80 in-lbf) and the vane pump assembly. Install the generator assembly and engine wire while using Service Tool: 09249-63010 to achieve proper tensioning of the v-belt alongside the fan. As the final steps install the engine mounting bracket No.2 RH with 52 Nm torques (531 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf) and the matching engine mounting stay No.2 RH torqued to 64 Nm (653 kgf-cm, 47 ft-lbf) before proceeding to attach the engine moving control rod with 3 bolts torqued to 64 Nm (653 kgf-cm, 47 ft-lbf), followed by the front Exhaust Pipe assembly, front wheel RH, hood sub-assembly torqued to 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf), add engine oil, and inspect for oil leaks.
