TIMING CHAIN CASE
ME-5
4. Timing Chain Case
! The timing chain case is formed by the front chain cover and rear chain cover, both made of
aluminum die casting. This two-piece chain case design helps reduce noise.
! Sealing materials used between the engine block and rear chain cover are an O-ring, metal gas-
ket, and liquid gasket. Between the front and rear chain covers, liquid gasket is used to prevent oil
from leaking out.
! A fluorocarbon resin oil seal is used at the crankshaft opening in the front chain cover.
