Assembly, Variable Valve Actuation: Installation
- If removed, install the oil temperature sensor (1)
Refer to SENSOR, OIL TEMPERATURE, INSTALLATION .
Tighten the oil temperature sensor to 18 N.m (13 ft. lbs.).
- If removed, install a new O-ring (1) lubricated with engine oil on the MultiAir actuator oil supply filter (2). Install the filter into the camshaft bearing housing and tighten to 27 N.m (20 ft. lbs.).
- Install three variable valve actuation assembly locating pins (2).
- Install the variable valve actuation assembly gasket (1).
- If removed, install the four rocker arms (1) to the variable valve actuation assembly
Refer to ROCKER ARM, VALVE, INSTALLATION .
CAUTION:Do not invert the variable valve actuation assembly when it is removed from the engine. Oil will drain from the assembly and excessive engine cranking will be required to refill the assembly and start the engine.
- If removed, install the (special tool #10259B, Compressor, MultiAir® Spring) (2) with the tools four bolts (1) tightened to 9 N.m (80 in. lbs.).
- Rotate the spring compressors (3) CCW until fully seated.
- Install the variable valve actuation assembly O-ring (1).
- Position the variable valve actuation assembly onto the camshaft bearing housing with the spring compressor in place.
- Install and hand tighten the retaining bolts.
- Remove the spring compressor and tighten the nine bolts in three steps following the sequence shown in illustration:
- Step 1: All to 10 N.m (89 in. lbs.).
- Step 2: All to 22 N.m (16 ft. lbs.).
- Step 3: All again to 22 N.m (16 ft. lbs.).
- Connect and lock the four variable valve timing actuator electrical connectors.
- Connect and lock the oil temperature sensor electrical connector (1).
- Engage the oil temperature electrical connector to the bracket (2).
- Install the cylinder head cover (1)
Refer to COVER(S), CYLINDER HEAD, INSTALLATION .
NOTE:
The Cam/Crank Variation Relearn procedure must be performed using the scan tool anytime there has been a repair/replacement made to a powertrain system, for example: flywheel, valvetrain, camshaft and/or crankshaft sensors or components. Refer to STANDARD PROCEDURE .
