>> B << V. V. T. Sprocket, Rocker Arm And Camshaft Assembly Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Pull down the adjusting screw of the exhaust side rocker arm at least to the shown dimension.

CAUTION:
- To avoid damage, be careful not to apply torque exceeding 3 N.m(27 in-lb) when rotating the coupling.
- Do not hit the worm wheel against the minimum lift stopper too strongly.
- Never loosen the minimum lift stopper.
Rotate the coupling clockwise until the worm wheel contacts the minimum lift stopper slightly.
NOTE: When rotating the coupling clockwise, the worm wheel should move in the minimum lift direction. When rotating the coupling counterclockwise, the worm wheel should move in the maximum lift direction.

NOTE: When rotating the coupling by hand, insert a 12-point socket (24 mm[0.9 inch]) into the coupling ca. 5 mm(0.2 inch) away from the rocker shaft holder. Then use a small torque wrench to rotate it slowly.
Align the mark for removal and installation of the rocker arm and camshaft assembly on the V. V. T. sprocket with the mark on the rocker shaft holder.
Completely remove the sealant adhering to the cylinder head and the rocker arm/camshaft assembly using a remover or others and degrease the area using a volatile degreasing agent.
CAUTION: The rocker arm and camshaft assembly cannot be installed with the rocker arms hanging down.
Apply sealant to the underside of the rocker arm and camshaft assembly without a gap and immediately install the V. V. T. sprocket, rocker arm and camshaft assembly to the cylinder head.
Specified sealant: ThreeBond 1227D or equivalent

Temporarily tighten the mounting bolts of the rocker arm and camshaft assembly to 8.0 N.m in the order shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
- After installation, wipe off excessive sealant thoroughly from the sealant application area.
- After the installation, until a sufficient period of time (one hour or more) elapses, do not apply the oil or water to the sealant application area or start the engine.

Tighten the mounting bolts of the rocker arm and camshaft assembly to the specified torque in the order shown in the figure.
Tightening torque: 22 ± 3 N.m (16 ± 2 ft-lb)
