How to adjust the timing chain of the Toyota RAV 4 VVT-I

Model: Toyota Rav 4 Xa20, MK 2 - Years 2000-2006
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this guide we will see the main instructions that will allow us to adjust the timing chain of the Toyota RAV 4 with VVT-I engine code 1AZ FE. After disassembling and replacing the engine timing chain, it is necessary to perform the subsequent timing; raising the car we see the reference located on the lower part of the engine block, near the crankshaft. We have a second signal on the camshaft and its pulley, which must therefore match with the chain and references; we then reassemble the chain tensioner to time the engine.
