- Remove the ignition coil. Refer to Ignition Coil Replacement .
- Remove the camshaft cover. Refer to
Camshaft Cover Replacement : 1.4L LUH and LUJ .
- Remove the camshaft position actuator solenoid valves. Refer to Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Replacement .
- Remove the right front wheelhousing lining. Refer to Front Wheelhouse Liner Replacement .
- Remove the front compartment insulator. Refer to Front Compartment Insulator Replacement .
- Rotate the engine clockwise until the bore (2) in the crankshaft balancer aligns with the mark (1) on the engine front cover.
- Remove the crankshaft bearing cap tie plate hole plug (2) and the seal ring (1).
Caution: To ensure proper crankshaft top dead centre (TDC) alignment, the retention pin should fit easily through the bore in the crankshaft tie plate and into the crankshaft. Binding of the retention pin could affect proper engine timing.
- Install the EN-952 fixing pin (1) to hold the crankshaft in TDC position.
- Loosen the inlet camshaft sprocket bolt (2) while holding the hexagon of the inlet camshaft with a spanner (1) until the camshaft position exciter wheel is clearly rotatable.
- Loosen the exhaust camshaft sprocket bolt while holding the hexagon of the exhaust camshaft with a spanner until the camshaft position exciter wheel is clearly rotatable.
Note: The fixing tool should be installed completely to both camshaft grooves without extreme effort.
- Adjust the camshafts so that the EN-953-A fixing tool (1) can be installed.
- Remove the 2 upper timing chain guide bolts (1).
- Remove the upper timing chain guide (2).
Note: Push the fixing tool in the direction of the arrow to ensure it engages without clearance.
- Install the EN-49977-200 fixing tool (2) and adjust the gearing of the fixing tool so it engages with the inlet camshaft sprocket gearing (1).
- Tighten the 2 fastening bolts (1) of the EN-49977-200 fixing tool while pushing the fixing tool in direction of the arrow.
- Tighten the adjuster bolt (2).
Note: A wrong installation position is possible. Make sure that the fixation tool is installed without clearance to the cylinder head in areas (3) and (5).
- Install the EN-49977-100 fixation (2) to find and hold the camshaft position exciter wheels in the correct position.
- Tighten the 2 fastening bolts (6) of the EN-49977-100 fixation.
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.
- Tighten the inlet camshaft sprocket bolt (4) while holding the hexagon (1) of the inlet camshaft to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).
- Tighten the inlet camshaft sprocket bolt (4) while holding the hexagon (1) of the inlet camshaft an additional 60°.
- Tighten the exhaust camshaft sprocket bolt while holding the hexagon of the exhaust camshaft to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).
- Tighten the exhaust camshaft sprocket bolt while holding the hexagon of the exhaust camshaft an additional 60°.
- Remove the EN-49977-100 fixation and the EN-49977-200 fixing tool .
- Install the upper timing chain guide (2).
- Install the 2 upper timing chain guide bolts (1) and tighten to 8 N·m (71 lb in).
- Remove the EN-953-A fixing tool .
- Remove the EN-952 fixing pin .
- Rotate the crankshaft for 720° and check the engine timing again. Repeat the adjustment procedure if necessary.
- Install the crankshaft bearing cap tie plate hole plug and seal ring and tighten to 40 N·m (30 lb ft).
- Install the front compartment insulator. Refer to Front Compartment Insulator Replacement
- Install the right front wheelhousing lining. Refer to Front Wheelhouse Liner Replacement
- Install the camshaft position actuator solenoid valves. Refer to Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Replacement .
- Install the camshaft cover. Refer to
Camshaft Cover Replacement : 1.4L LUH and LUJ .
- Install the ignition coil. Refer to Ignition Coil Replacement .
