IF YOU CONFIRM:

There is a high frequency buzzing/whining noise coming from the secondary timing chain system.

• The noise should increase in frequency with engine speed (RPM).

1. Replace both secondary timing chains and both secondary timing chain tensioner “shoes” with the ones from the PARTS INFORMATION section of this bulletin (on Page 2).

2. Change the engine oil and filter.

3. For repair procedure, refer to the SERVICE PROCEDURE section of this bulletin (starting on Page 3).
