Drain the cooling system and remove the front cover.
CAUTION
When draining the coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by the ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old.
-
Crank the engine until the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft gears are aligned.
-
Use a gear puller to removal both of the timing gears.
-
Before installing the timing gears, be sure that the key and spacer are properly installed. Align the gear key way with the key and install the gear on the camshaft. Be sure that the timing marks line up on the camshaft and the crankshaft gears and install the crankshaft gear.

Install the front cover, and assemble the rest of the engine in the reverse order of disassembly. Fill the cooling system.
