Set the No. 1 cylinder to TDC/compression. A. Set the timing mark to 0 on the timing chain cover by rotating the crankshaft clockwise. B. Verify the timing marks on the camshaft timing gears are in general alignment with the timing marks of the camshaft bearing cap: TIMING MARK IDENTIFICATION CYLINDER BANK INTAKE GEAR MARK EXHAUST GEAR MARK RH Bank (Bank 1) Small Mark Single Line LH Bank (Bank 2) Large Mark Double Line HINT When the engine is correctly timed, the timing marks will NOT perfectly align.

Component Removal Guidelines 1. If engine disassembly is required that involves removing the camshafts or timing gears, set the #1 cylinder to TDC compression, wipe away any oil, and mark the following items in relation to each other prior to disassembly: • Timing gears • Timing chain • Timing chain No. 2 NOTE This relationship MUST be maintained. The intake gear is timed in relation to the crankshaft via the timing chain; the exhaust gear is timed in relation to the intake gear via the No. 2 timing chain. © 2008 Toyota Motor Sales, USA T-SB-0291-08 September 11, 2008 Page 5 of 5 2GR-FE Valve Timing Procedure Component Removal Guidelines (Continued) 2. If NEW camshaft timing gears or the No. 2 timing chain are being installed, the two yellow links on the No. 2 timing chain can be used to ensure correct relationship between the intake timing gear and the exhaust timing gear. Figure 7. 1 1 Yellow Link A. Align the paint mark on the timing chain with the intake gear timing mark (to ensure the intake gear is correctly timed to the crankshaft). Figure 8.
