5. Remove the VVT bush carrier.
1. Remove the three bolts which secure the carrier to the cylinder block.

2
. Release the carrier from
the two ring dowels and
remove it.

6. R
emove the seals from the bush carrier.
1. Remove the sealing ring (scarf jointed) from the
carrier bush groove.
2. Remove the O-ring from the carrier oil-way recess.
7. Raise the vehicle on a ramp.

8. R
emove the crankshaft position sensor.
1. Remove the bolt which secures the crankshaft position sensor to the flywheel housing.
Remove the
sensor and allow

2. Remove the access grommet (for torque converter bolts) from the housing.
9. Fit the damper securing bolt (old one) to the crankshaft, hand-
tight only.

10
.
Rotate the crankshaft until the triangular arrow indent on
the drive plate is visible thro ugh the access hole; confirm
that the timing flat on ea ch camshaft is uppermost.
11. Fit the crankshaft setting peg 303 - 531 to the crankshaft
position sensor location.

1.
Fit the crankshaft setting peg 303 - 531.
Position the crankshaft so
that the setting
peg engages
fully into the timing slot.
2. Fit and tighten the bolt to secure the setting peg.
12. Remove the damper securing bolt from the crankshaft.
13. Lower the vehicle on the ramp.

14. F
it the camshaft locking tool 303 - 530 to the A-Bank
camshafts, aligning the shafts slightly as necessary.

15. L
oosen the bolt which secures
the sprocket to the camshaft.

16. Loosen
the bolt which secure
s VVT unit to the camshaft.
17. Remove the primary ch ain tensioner bolts.

The
teeth of the A-Bank and the B-Bank sprockets on the
crankshaft must be out of phas e with each other. If they
are in-phase after fitting, remo ve the sprocket, turn it on
its vertical axis and refit it.

2. Fi
t the chain tensioning tool 303 - 532 to the exhaust camshaft
