   3. Same as the step ii, insert dowel pin with holding front timing chain case from front and top completely.
5. Tighten bolts to the specified torque in order shown in the figure.
   • There are two types of mounting bolts. Refer to the following for locating bolts.

     8 mm (0.31 in) dia. bolts: 1,2 

     : 25.5 - 31.3 N.m (2.6 - 3.2 kg-m, 19-23 ft-lb) 

     6 mm (0.24 in) dia. bolts: Except the above 

     : 11.7 -13.7 N.m (1.2 -1.4 kg-m, 9 -10 ft-lb) 

6. After all bolts tightening, retighten them to specified torque in numerical order shown in figure.

1. Install crankshaft pulley, taking care not to damage front oil seal.
   • When press-fitting crankshaft pulley with plastic hammer, tap on its center portion (not circumference).
2. Fix crankshaft using suitable tool.
3. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.

   : 39.2 - 49.0 N.m (4.0 - 5.0 kg-m, 29 - 36 ft-lb) 

4. Put a paint mark on crankshaft pulley aligning with angle mark on crankshaft pulley bolt. Then, further retighten bolt by 60 to 65 degrees [Target: 60 degrees (equivalent to one graduation)].
