Installation
20. Clean and inspect all relevant components.

1. Push the tensioner piston (secon dary chain) into the body to
provide clearance for fitting.
1. Insert a thin rigid wire th rough the hole in the end of
the tensioner piston to displace the ball from the non-
return valve seat.
2. With the wire in position, press the piston fully into the tensioner body.
Remove the wire.

2. Fit the VVT unit to the engine.
Assemble the VVT unit, the exhaust camshaft sprocket
and the secondary chain, in pr eparation for fitting to the
engine.
1. Fit the above assembly to the camshafts with the chain correctly positioned over the tensioner; VVT
unit to the inlet and the sprocket to the exhaust.
2. Fit, but do not tighten, each bolt which secures the VVT unit and the exhaust sprocket to the camshafts.
Allow the VVT unit sufficien t space to fit the primary
chain, in a la ter operation.

3. Fit the chain tensioning tool 303 - 532 to the exhaust camshaft
sprocket.
Reposition the sprocket (and the VVT unit) for the most
advantageous position for use of the tool.
Remove the tool.

4. Refit the primary timing chain.
1. Lift the primary chain an d position it over the VVT
unit sprocket (the VVT unit mu st be pulled forward to
clear the cylinder head casting). There must be no
slack on the drive side of the primary chain and the
VVT unit must not be rotated on the camshaft.
2. Slide the VVT unit fully on to the camshaft.
5. Fit the primary chain tensioner blade.
1. Position the tensioner blade to the cylinder block.

2. Refit the access grommet to the housing.
13. Lower the ramp.
14. Refit the B-Bank VVT Bush Carrier Assembly. Refer to
operation 12.65.52 in this Section.
15. Refit the Timing Cover. Refer to Operation 12.65.01 in this
Section.
16. Move the engine compartment cover from the service position
and connect the gas struts.
17. Remove the paint protection sheets and close the cover.
18. Connect the battery and fit the battery cover.
Refer to the Battery Reconnection Procedure 86.15.15.

Section.
5. Remove the Variable Valve Ti ming Bush Carrier Assembly.
Refer to Operation 12.65.51 in this Section
6. Raise the vehicle on a ramp.
7. Remove the crankshaft position sensor.

1. Remove the bolt which secures the crankshaft position sensor to the flywheel housing.
Remove the sensor and allow it to hang free under the
engine.
2. Remove the access grommet (for torque converter bolts) from the housing.
8. Fit the damper securing bolt (old one) to the crankshaft, hand-
tight only.

9. 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.

10. 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.
11. Remove the damper securing bolt from the crankshaft.
12. Lower the vehicle on the ramp.

13. Fit the camshaft locking tool 303 - 530 to the A-Bank
camshafts, aligning the shafts slightly as necessary.
14. Remove the primary chain tens ioner. Refer to operation
12.65.54, in this Section

Installation

15. Remove the primary ch ain tensioner blade.
1. Remove the pivot bolt which secures the tensioner blade.
2. Remove the tensioner blade.
16. Disconnect the primary chain from the VVT unit and the
crankshaft sprocket, and remove it completely.
17. Do not tamper with the three bolts which secure the VVT
mechanism to the sprockets. It is sealed at the factory to the
correct valve timing specificatio n for the engine and is supplied
only as a complete unit.

18. Remove the VVT unit.
1. Remove the securing bolt from both the VVT unit and
the exhaust cam sprocket.
2. Remove the VVT unit, exhaust sprocket and secondary chain as an asse mbly (release the chain
from the tensioner which is still secured to the
cylinder head).
Remove the secondary chain from the VVT unit and the
sprocket.
19. Clean and inspect all relevant components.

1. Push the tensioner piston (secon dary chain) into the body to
provide clearance for fitting.
1. Insert a thin rigid wire th rough the hole in the end of
the tensioner piston to displace the ball from the non-
return valve seat.
2. With the wire in position, press the piston fully into the tensioner body.
