Timing Chain Tensioner - Engine Set: Removal
Check all timing components for wear and install new components if required.
Removal steps in this procedure contains installation details.
Make sure that all openings are sealed. Use new blanking caps.

Install new high-pressure fuel supply lines.
Do not fully install the component at this stage.
Do not remove the blanking caps at this stage.

- Install the crankshaft pulley bolt.
Torque: 20 Nm
- Remove the crankshaft position sensor.
- Rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the crankshaft keyway is positioned as indicated in the illustration.
- Make sure that the special tool is correctly located.
Special Tool(s): 303-1447
- Remove the special tool.
- Install the crankshaft position sensor.
Torque: 10 Nm
- Check that the position of the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) unit and crankshaft keyway are positioned as indicated. If the VVT units are not positioned as indicated, rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the correct crankshaft keyway and VVT unit positions are achieved.
- Install the tie strap loose at this stage in the positions indicated.
- Make sure the tension is maintained on the timing chain.
- Remove the timing chain tensioner.
- See figure.
- See figure.
- The differences and orientation of the timing components can be seen. Original components (1) new components (2).The original timing chain tensioner (1) is angled, the new timing chain tensioner (2) is not angled.
- See figure.
- Torque: 25 Nm
- Before installing the timing chain tensioners, use the illustration shown to identify which timing chain tensioner is currently fitted to the vehicle. Make sure the vehicle is assembled using components shown in section (2) of the illustration only. If a new timing chain tensioner is installed, do not deploy the tensioner pin and proceed to the next step. If the tensioner to be installed has previously been deployed, make sure the attached animation is followed to make sure the tensioner is set correctly, failure to do this may result in damage to the engine.
- Install the timing chain tensioner.
Torque: 12 Nm
- Apply and maintain tension on the component.
- Release the retaining pin.
- See figure.
- The piston should apply tension to the timing chain guide.
- Using considerable force, move the timing chain guide away from the tensioner to allow the first stage ratchet mechanism to be applied.
- If the piston can be pushed back, the tensioner is not correct. Repeat steps 73-80.
- Rotate the crankshaft clockwise 90 degrees until the crankshaft keyway is positioned as indicated in the illustration.
- Check that the position of the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) unit and crankshaft keyway are positioned as indicated. If the VVT units are not positioned as indicated, rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the correct crankshaft keyway and VVT unit positions are achieved.
- Install the tie strap loose at this stage in the positions indicated.
