Hyundai Genesis 2.0L Timing Chain Install: Tensioner Torque & Cover Sealant EM-29
Timing system service procedure covering tensioner arm installation, timing mark confirmation and chain cover sealant.
This is page EM-29 of a service manual section titled "Timing System," covering timing chain installation steps 5 through 8. Step 5 covers installing the timing chain tensioner arm (B) with a tightening torque of 9.8–11.8 N.m (1.0–1.2 kgf.m, 7.2–8.7 lb-ft). Step 6 covers installing the timing chain auto tensioner (A) and removing the set pin, with the same torque specification. Step 7 instructs rotating the crankshaft two full revolutions clockwise (viewed from the front) and confirming the timing marks, with an illustration of the camshaft sprocket alignment marks. Step 8 details timing chain cover installation: removing old packing material with a gasket scraper, ensuring sealant surfaces on the chain cover, cylinder head, cylinder block, and ladder frame are free of engine oil, and applying liquid sealant Loctite 5900H or THREEBOND 1217H to the gap between the cylinder head and cylinder block. The cover must be assembled within 5 minutes of sealant application, with a bead width of 2.5±0.5 mm (0.098±0.019 in). Illustrations include component callouts (SBKEM9128D, SBKEM9126D, SNFEM8017D) and the sealant bead path on the timing cover (KCRF177A).
