Cam Chain Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Keep the cam chain away from magnetic fields.
  1. Set the crankshaft to top dead center (TDC). Align the TDC mark (A) on the crankshaft sprocket with the pointer (B) on the oil pump.

  2. Set the No. 1 piston at TDC. The UP mark (A) on the camshaft sprocket should be at the top, and the TDC grooves (B) on the camshaft sprocket should line up with the top edge of the cylinder head.

  9. Rotate the cam chain tensioner slider clockwise to compress the cam chain tensioner, and install the remaining bolt, then tighten the two bolts.
  10. Check the cam chain case oil seal for damage. If the oil seal is damaged, replace the cam chain case oil seal (see CAM CHAIN CASE OIL SEAL INSTALLATION  ).
  11. Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the cam chain case mating surfaces, the bolts, and the bolt holes.
  12. Clean and dry the cam chain case mating surfaces.
  13. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004,08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the cylinder head and the engine block mating surfaces of the cam chain case and to the inside edge of the bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
    NOTE:
    • Apply a 1.5 mm (0.059 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A).
    • Apply a 3.0 mm (0.118 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket to the upper surface contact areas of the engine block (B).
    • If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
    • If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.

  14. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004,08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the oil pan mating surface of the cam chain case and to the inside edge of the bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
    NOTE:
    • Apply a 2.5 mm (0.098 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A).
    • Apply a 5.0 mm (0.20 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket to the shaded area (B).
    • If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
    • If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.

  15. Set the edge of the cam chain case (A) on the edge of the oil pan (B), then install the cam chain case on the engine block (C).
    NOTE:
    • When installing the cam chain case, do not slide the bottom surface onto the oil pan mounting surface.
    • Wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
    • Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the cam chain case.
