Installation Procedure


    2583744
  1. Install the timing chain (1).
  2. Note: Ensure that the crankshaft sprocket (3) fits into the crankshaft key (2).

  3. Install the crankshaft sprocket (3) to the crankshaft.

  4. 2557105
  5. Set the exhaust camshaft to the position shown (1).
  6. Set the intake camshaft to the position shown (2).
  7. Ensure the crankshaft is still adjusted to TDC of the combustion stroke of the cylinder 1, correct if necessary.

  8. 2557100
  9. Route the timing chain around the crankshaft sprocket and line up the first matching coloured link with the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket, approximately in the 5 o'clock position (1).

  10. 2557106
  11. Ensure that the bar (2) is in center of the timing chain (1) routing.

  12. 2557099
  13. Install the intake camshaft actuator to the camshaft while also installing the actuator at the timing chain. Ensure that the colored link is at the mark on the camshaft actuator (1).

  14. 2557103
  15. Rotate the intake camshaft with an open ended wrench (1) to install the camshaft exhaust actuator on the marked points.

  16. 2557044
  17. Install the NEW intake camshaft actuator bolt (1) to the intake camshaft actuator (2) and handtighten.
  18. Install the timing chain guide. Refer to Timing Chain Guide Replacement .
  19. Install the adjustable timing chain guide. Refer to Adjustable Timing Chain Guide Replacement .

  20. 2557101
  21. Install the exhaust camshaft actuator to the camshaft while also installing the actuator to the timing chain. Ensure that the colored link is at the mark on the camshaft actuator (1).

  22. 2557103
  23. Rotate the exhaust camshaft with an open ended wrench (1) to install the camshaft exhaust actuator on the marked points.

  24. 2557046
  25. Install the NEW exhaust camshaft actuator bolt (1) to the exhaust camshaft actuator (2) and handtighten.
  26. Install the timing chain oil nozzle. Refer to Timing Chain Oil Nozzle Replacement .

  27. 2557102
  28. Ensure again that the marks are on the points as shown (1).

  29. 2557049
  30. Install the EN-48953 locking tool (1) to the camshafts.
  31. Install the EN-48953 locking tool bolts and tighten to 10 N·m (89 lb in).
  32. Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.

  33. Tighten the exhaust camshaft actuator bolt a first pass to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).
  34. Caution: Refer to Torque-to-Yield Fastener Caution in the Preface section.

  35. Tighten the exhaust camshaft actuator bolt a final pass to an additional 100 degrees, using the EN-45059 meter .
  36. Tighten the intake camshaft actuator bolt a first pass to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).
  37. Caution: Refer to Torque-to-Yield Fastener Caution in the Preface section.

  38. Tighten the intake camshaft actuator bolt a final pass to an additional 100 degrees, using the EN-45059 meter .
  39. Remove the EN-48953 locking tool .
  40. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise at the crankshaft balancer bolt to 720 degrees and ensure that the marks are still fit. If the marks are not fit, repeat the procedure.
