>> C << 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.
- Adjust the rocker arm's adjusting screw at the exhaust side to be less than the dimension shown in the illustration.
CAUTION:
- When rotating the coupling, do not apply the torque more than 3 N.m (27 in-lb) to prevent the damage.
- Do not forcibly push the worm wheel to the minimum lift stopper and the maximum lift stopper.
- Never loosen the minimum lift stopper.
- Slowly rotate the coupling clockwise. When lightly touching the worm wheel to the minimum lift stopper, stop the worm wheel at the position shown in the illustration.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 manually rotating the coupling, insert a 12-point socket (24 mm[0.9 inch]) into the position on the coupling approximately 5 mm (0.20 inch) away from the rocker shaft holder. Connect the mini torque wrench and slowly rotate them.
- Align the overhaul and installation marks for the V.V.T. sprocket rocker arm and camshaft assembly with the mark of the rocker shaft holder.
- Rotate the camshaft clockwise by approximately 15 degree so that the intake valve cannot be lifted.
CAUTION:
- Use isopropyl alcohol to degrease. Then check that liquid gasket application surface and recesses are not contaminated with oil or grease.
- Do not touch the part to be degreased as fingerprints may affect sealing performance.
- Completely remove the liquid gasket adhered to the rocker arm and camshaft assembly and the cylinder head, and then degrease by white gasoline.CAUTION: Install the V.V.T. sprocket, the rocker arm and camshaft assembly to the cylinder head within 3 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
- Apply the bead of 3.1 ± 0.3 mm (0.12 ± 0.01 inch) liquid gasket to the position as shown in the illustration.

Specified sealant: ThreeBond 1227D or equivalent
CAUTION: After installation, wipe off excessive sealant thoroughly from the sealant application area. - Tighten the rocker arm and camshaft assembly installation bolt in the sequence shown to temporary torque of 8.0 N.m (71 in-lb).
- Tighten the rocker arm and camshaft assembly installation bolt in the sequence shown to specified torque of 22 ± 3 N.m (16 ± 2 ft-lb).
