Repair Procedures: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Hyundai Elantra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The TDC marks of the intake and exhaust CVVT sprockets are slightly turned from the TDC position as shown when the timing chain is removed.
