- If the piston needs to only be removed on one cylinder bank, the "TDC" camshaft position must be checked using the installed camshaft housing.
Risk of destroying the engine by adjusting the valve timing.
- The camshafts must be in TDC point.
-- Remove the bolt -3- and remove the cover -2-.
- The exhaust camshafts -1- have an asymmetrically arranged pair of grooves -arrows-. In the "TDC" position, the asymmetrically arranged pair of grooves must be above the conceived horizontal center line as shown. (Shown on the cylinder bank 2 exhaust camshaft.)
- The notch -1- on the vibration damper must align with the locating tab -2- on the belt pulley side sealing flange.
-- Install the Crankshaft Locking Pin:T40069 in the hole and tighten to 20 Nm. If necessary push the crankshaft slightly back and forth. The bolt engages in the hole on the crankshaft counterweight.
