CAUTION:

Refer to Torque-to-Yield Fastener Caution .

NOTE:

A second technician is required.

NOTE:

Use an appropriate open-end wrench in order to counterhold the camshaft hexagon. A thin cross-section wrench is required for a better fit. The usage of EN-6628-A locking tool is for the camshaft adjustment to prevent misalignment of the camshafts. The wrench is required to counterhold the camshafts during bolt torque procedure.

6. Install the camshaft position actuator adjuster bolts (2) and tighten the bolts in 3 passes using the EN-45059  meter.
   1. First pass to 50 N.m (37 lb ft)
   2. Second pass to an additional 150 degrees
   3. Final pass to an additional 15 degrees
NOTE:

Check the closure bolt seal ring.

7. Install the 2 camshaft position actuator adjuster closure plugs (1) and tighten to 30 N.m (22 lb ft).
