Camshaft Component Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Assemble the camshaft timing chain tensioners on both sides.

    Tightening torque 

    • 9-11 N.m {92-112 kgf.cm, 80-97 in.lbf}
    NOTE:
    • Install the camshaft, camshaft sprocket and camshaft timing chain of the both bank as a single unit.
  2. Install the camshaft component (RH).
    1. Install the camshaft timing chain by aligning the colored links on the camshaft timing chain with the marks on the camshaft sprockets (RH).
