Procedure

1. 1. With the crankshaft rear seal and engine oil pan removed, inspect the crankshaft timing ring for wear or for damage.
2. 2. Remove the existing crankshaft timing ring.
3. 3. Inspect the threaded holes in the crankshaft for wear or for damage. If the threaded holes in the crankshaft are worn or damaged, proceed to 'Solution 3: Damage to the Crankshaft'. If the threaded holes in the crankshaft are not worn or not damaged, proceed to step 4.
4. 4. Clean the threaded holes in the crankshaft. Install new timing ring to the crankshaft. Install the new setscrews to the crankshaft assembly. Tighten the setscrews to a torque of 15 Nm (11 lbf/ft). Ensure that there is no gap between the crankshaft and the timing ring.
5. 5. Install the crankshaft to the engine.
6. 6. Inspect the engine oil pump and balancer (if equipped) for wear or for damage.
