27.Remove 5 bolts and 2 pillar bolts securing
engine front mounting plate to cylinder block.
28.Remove 2 bolts securing IRD support bracket
to engine front mounting plate.
29.With care, release and remove front mounting
plate from engine.
30.Fit a suitable 1.5 mm diameter pin through hole
in tensioner body and into hole in plunger.
NOTE: If holes in body and plunger are not
aligned, move tensioner backplate using a
broad bladed screwdriver; this will move the
plunger sufficiently to align the holes and allow
the pin to be inserted.31.Remove and discard 2 Patchlok bolts securing
tensioner to cylinder block and remove
tensioner.
CAUTION: Exercise great care when
removing bolts, do not apply excessive
torque. If bolts appear to be seized, apply
suitable anti-seize lubricant prior to
removing bolts. DO NOT loosen Allen screw
securing tensioner pulley.
32.If camshaft timing belt is to be refitted, mark
direction of rotation on timing belt before
removal.
33.With care, ease camshaft timing belt from
gears using fingers only and remove timing
belt.
CAUTION: Do not rotate crankshaft or
camshafts with timing belt removed.
CAUTION: Camshaft timing belt must be
replaced if cylinder head is to be removed or
new drive gears, tensioner or coolant pump
are to be fitted. Camshaft timing belts must
be stored and handled with care. Always
store a camshaft timing belt on its edge with
a bend radius greater than 50 mm (2.0 in).
Do not use a camshaft timing belt that has
been twisted or bent double as this will
damage the reinforcing fibres. Do not use a
camshaft timing belt if debris other than belt
dust is found in timing belt covers. Do not
use a camshaft timing belt if partial engine
seizure has occurred. Do not use a
camshaft timing belt if mileage exceeds
72,000 km (45,000 miles). Do not use an oil
or coolant contaminated timing belt, cause
of contamination must be rectified.
34.Remove and discard LH and RH exhaust
camshaft cap seals.

19.Clean exhaust camshaft front cap seal
locations and fit new cap seals.
CAUTION: The sealing edge of the cap seal
and mating face must be clean and dry.
20.Position engine front mounting plate and
manoeuvre plate into position; fit bolts but do
not tighten at this stage.
21.Fit bolts securing IRD support bracket to front
mounting plate; do not tighten bolts at this
stage.
22.Tighten bolts in the sequence shown:

lM10 bolt - No. 5 - 45 Nm (33 lbf.ft)
lBolts Nos. 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 - 85 Nm (63 lbf.ft)
23.Position engine lifting bracket, fit bolts securing
lifting bracket and front mounting plate to
cylinder block and RH cylinder head and
tighten to:
lM8 bolt - 25 Nm (18 lbf.ft)
lM10 bolts - 45 Nm (33 lbf.ft)
24.Fit rubber blanking plug around tensioner.
25.Clean end of dipstick tube.
26.Position dipstick tube to sump and cylinder
block, fit bolt and tighten to 9 Nm (7 lbf.ft).

bolts to 9 Nm (7 lbf.ft).
29.Remove timing pin LRT-12-232.
30.Clean crankshaft pulley.
31.Fit crankshaft pulley to crankshaft gear and
ensure that the indent on pulley locates over
the lug on crankshaft gear.
32.Fit crankshaft pulley bolt and washer, position
LRT-12-161 with LRT-12-199 into crankshaft
pulley. Tighten pulley bolt to 160 Nm (118
lbf.ft).
33.Remove tools LRT-12-161 and LRT-12-199.
