TIMING CHAIN
d. Being careful not to move seal ring from the installation groove,align dowel pins on front cover with dowel pin holes (C) to install
valve timing control covers.
e. Tighten mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in the fig- ure.
14. Install camshaft position sensor and valve timing c ontrol solenoid valve (RH and LH) to valve timing con-
trol cover, if removed.
 Be sure to tighten mounting bolts with flanges completely seated.
15. Install oil pan (upper). Refer to EM-57, "
Exploded View".
16. Install oil pan (lower) and oil strainer. Refer to EM-54, "
Exploded View".
17. Install water pump pulley. Refer to CO-18, "
Exploded View".
18. Install crankshaft pulley.  Fix the crankshaft as instructed in the removal procedure. Refer to EM-96, "
FRONT OIL SEAL :
Removal and Installation".
a. Install crankshaft pulley, taking care not to damage front oil seal.
b. Apply engine oil onto threaded parts of crankshaft pulley bolt and seating area.  Lightly tapping its center with plastic hammer, insert crankshaft pulley.
CAUTION:
Never tap crankshaft pulley on the side surface wh ere belt is installed (outer circumference).
c. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
d. Put a paint mark (A) on crankshaft pulley (1) aligning with angle mark (B) on crankshaft pulley bolt.
e. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt (clockwise).
 Check the tightening angle by referencing to the notches. Theangle between two notches is 90 degrees.
19. Rotate crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when viewed from engine front) to confirm it turns smoothly.
20. Install in the reverse order of removal.

REMOVAL
CAUTION:
 Never loosen adjusting bolts (A), mounting bolt
s (black color) (B) of VVEL ladder assembly and
mounting bolts (C) of VVEL control shaft position sen sor. If loosened, the stroke of cam lift becomes
out of adjustment. In such case, replacement of VVEL ladder assembly and cylinder head assembly
is required.
 Never loosen the mounting bolts (C) of the VVEL control shaft position sensor. VVEL control shaft
position sensor mounting bolts are required to be loosened for adjustment only when using a new
VVEL ladder assembly. Refer to EC-150, "
Work Procedure".
NOTE:
VVEL ladder assembly cannot be replaced as a singl e part, because it is machined together with cylinder
head assembly.
1. Remove VVEL actuator motor assembly. Refer to EM-36, "
Exploded View".
2. Remove rocker covers (bank 1 and bank 2). Refer to EM-33, "
Exploded View".
3. Remove VVEL actuator housing assembly. Refer to EM-36, "
Exploded View".
4. Remove front cover, camshaft sprockets, and timing chains. Refer to EM-61, "
Exploded View".
5. Remove VVEL ladder assembly.
