WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Assemble the camshaft cover (2) and NEW gaskets (4). Ensure each gasket is located in the correct retaining groove in the camshaft cover.
- Ensure proper use of room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealant. Use of Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) and Anaerobic Sealant
- Add a 14 mm bead of sealant at the right and left T-joint where the front cover meets the cylinder head and at the rear of the camshaft cover at the right and left T-joint where the vacuum pump bolts on. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers .
- Install the cover on the cylinder head and hand start the bolts (1, 3).
- tighten the camshaft cover bolts in sequence to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
- Inspect the vacuum pump seal. Refer to Camshaft Cover and Compressor Air Intake Turbocharger Cleaning and Inspection .
- Install a NEW vacuum pump assembly gasket (3) on the vacuum pump assembly (2).
- Install the vacuum pump assembly (2) and bolts (1). tighten the bolts to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
- Install the camshaft position actuator solenoid valves (2) and bolts (1). tighten the bolts to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
- Inspect the inside of the ignition coil rubber boot for a thin, even coat of grease. If there is no grease present or additional grease is necessary, complete the following procedure:
- Apply a thin coating of dielectric grease evenly to the inside of the ignition coil rubber boot, up to a depth of 15 mm from the end of the boot. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers .
- Remove any excess grease from around the end of the boot, and ensure there is not an excessive amount within the boot.
- Install the ignition coils (2) and bolts (1). tighten the bolt to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
- Install the front lift bracket (2).
- Install the front lift bracket bolts (1) and tighten to 25 N.m (18 lb ft).
- Install the rear lift bracket (1).
- Install the rear lift bracket bolts (2) and tighten to 25 N.m (18 lb ft).
- Install the camshaft cover heat shield (2) and bolts (1). tighten the bolts to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
- Inspect the oil level indicator O-ring seals (4) and replace if necessary. Install the oil level indicator (3).
- Inspect the O-ring (4) on the engine coolant air bleed pipe. Replace if necessary.
- Install the engine coolant air bleed hose (3), if necessary.
- Install the engine coolant air bleed pipe (2).
- Install the pipe bolt (1) and tighten to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
NOTE:
Ensure all camshaft cover gaskets are replaced, including the inner gaskets.
CAUTION:
Refer to Fastener Caution .
NOTE:
Ensure the vacuum pump seal does not need to be replaced, and the sealing surface is clean prior to installing the gasket and pump.
