13.  Make sure that timing marks of 

air intake VVT chain wheel and 
exhaust chain wheel are in 
positions shown in figure, to 
ensure that cylinder 1 is on upper 
stop point position of 
compression. If the position is 
wrong, repeat step 12 until 
timing marks of intake and 
exhaust chain wheel are on 
positions shown in figure, and 
make marks on chain wheels 
with marker pen. 

Note: the exhaust chain wheel has 
three position marks, the one with 
two points of which faces upward. 
The VVT chain wheel has three 
position marks. The grooved side of 
the aluminum body should face up. 
During alignment with the marks, 
the yellow chain section may not 
coincide with the mark. During 
dismantlement, make sure the timing 
marks of two chain wheels are on the 
upmost position and the single-point 
mark on the chain wheel is on the 
horizontal straight line!
