Operation 12.65.54.
Use a wedge 3
03-533 (or two if required) between the
primary chain tensioner and te nsioner blade, to take up
the slack in the chain.

13. Tigh
ten the exhaust camshaft
sprocket securing bolt.
1. Install the chain tensioner tool 303-532 to the sprocket holes.
Appl y force
to the tool in an
anti-clockwise direction to
tension the chain on its drive side.
2. Whilst applying the opposing force to the sprocket and chain, tighten the sprock et securing bolt to 115-
125 Nm.

14 .
Tigh
ten the intake camshaft
sprocket securing bolt.
1. Whilst still applying the opposing force to the
sprocket and chain (using 303-532), check that the
wedges are still in place, ti ghten the securing bolt to
115-125 Nm.
