-
CAUTION: Discard the component.
Remove the crankshaft position sensor.
-
CAUTION:
- Only tighten the bolt finger-tight.
- Only rotate the crankshaft clockwise.
Make sure that the special tool is correctly located.
Special Tool(s): 303-1447
- Remove the special tool.
Install the crankshaft position sensor.
Torque Specification: 10 Nm
-
CAUTION: An M16 washer must be used to prevent damage to the crankshaft on installation.
Install the crankshaft pulley bolt.
Torque Specification: 20 Nm
-
CAUTION: Only rotate the crankshaft clockwise.
Rotate the engine clockwise so the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) unit and crankshaft keyway are positioned as indicated.
-
CAUTION: Do not tension the tie strap at this stage.
Install the tie strap loose at this stage in the positions indicated.
-
CAUTION:
- Note the orientation of the tie strap in the illustration before applying tension.
- Make sure the tension is maintained on the timing chain.
Remove the timing chain tensioner.
-
CAUTION:
- If the vehicle is fitted with components shown in section 1 of the illustration, these must be replaced with components shown in section (2).
- Do not attempt to install the components shown in section 1 of the illustration, as damage to the engine may occur.
Using the illustration, identify which timing chain tensioner and guide is currently fitted to the vehicle. Make sure the vehicle is assembled using components shown in section (2) of the illustration only.
-
CAUTION: Make sure that a new component is installed.
Torque Specification: 25 Nm
-
CAUTION: Do not release the timing chain tensioner locking pin at this stage.
Before installing the timing chain tensioners, make sure the attached animation is followed to ensure the tensioner is set correctly, failure to do this may result in damage to the engine.
Torque Specification: 12 Nm
Apply and maintain tension on the component.
Release the retaining pin.
The piston should apply tension to the timing chain guide.
-
CAUTION: Make sure the tension is maintained.
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 68-74.
-
CAUTION: Only rotate the crankshaft clockwise.
Rotate the crankshaft 90 degrees clockwise so the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) unit and crankshaft keyway are positioned as indicated.
-
CAUTION: Do not tension the tie strap at this stage.NOTE: Right side.
Install the tie strap loose at this stage in the positions indicated.
-
CAUTION:
- Note the orientation of the tie strap in the illustration before applying tension.
- Make sure the tension is maintained on the timing chain.
Remove the timing chain tensioner.
