- Inspect the crankshaft pulley (1) hub groove for damage or wear.
- Replace the crankshaft pulley (1) if any damage is found.
Clean the timing chain tensioner (1) surfaces.
- Inspect the timing chain tensioner (1) for wear.
- Replace the timing chain tensioner (1) if damaged.
Clean the camshaft housing (1) in solvent.
- Inspect the camshaft housing (1) for damage or cracking. A cracked or damaged camshaft housing may:
- Leak engine oil
- Affect crankcase ventilation
- Interfere with the camshafts
- Allow water or condensation to enter the engine
- Inspect the exterior of the camshaft housing (1) for the following conditions:
- Damage to the camshaft housing bolt holes (2)
- Damage to the camshaft housing injector bracket bolt holes (3)
- Damage to the positive crankcase ventilation valve (4)
Inspect the interior of the camshaft housing for the following conditions:
- Inspect the camshaft housing for cracks, casting imperfections, or damage.
- Inspect the camshaft housing seal locations (2) for cracks or damage.
- Inspect the crankcase ventilation oil separator cover (1) for cracks or damage.
- CAUTION:
The fuel injector must be cleaned with the proper cleaning equipment. DO NOT use abrasive cleaning methods, such as a metallic brush, to remove deposits. Cleaning an injector with improper tools will damage the fuel injector.

- Inspect the wastegate regulator mechanism (1) for functionality.
- Inspect the turbine blades for damage or foreign material.
- Inspect the turbine blade shaft for excessive radial and axial end play.
- Inspect the compressor air intake turbocharger for cracks or other damage.
- Inspect the compressor air intake turbocharger mating surface for flatness.
