1998 JAGUAR X308 exhaust

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.
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.

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. Fit the primary chain to position over the crankshaft sprocket and the VVT unit sprocket. There must be no
slack on the drive side of the primary chain.
2. The VVT unit must not be rotated on the camshaft

5. Fit the primary chain tensioner blade.
1. Position the tensioner blade to the cylinder block.
2. Fit the retaining / pivot bolt and tighten it to 12-16 Nm.
6. Refit the primary chain tensione r assembly. Refer to Operation
12.65.54 in this Section.
Use a wedge 303 - 533 (or two if required) between the
primary chain tensioner and te nsioner blade, to take up
the slack in the chain.

7. Tighten the exhaust camshaft sprocket securing bolt.
1. Fit the chain tensioner tool 303 - 532 to the sprocket holes.
Apply 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.

8. Tighten the VVT unit 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, tighten the VVT unit
securing bolt to 115 - 125 Nm.
Remove the chain tensioning tool and the wedge(s).
9. Remove the camshaft locking tool 303 - 530.
10. Raise the vehicle on the ramp.
11. Remove the crankshaft setting tool 303 - 531.

12. Refit the crankshaft position sensor.
1. Fit the sensor to the fl ywheel housing and fit the
securing bolt. Tighten to 8-12 Nm.
2. Refit the access grommet to the housing.
13. Lower the ramp.
14. Refit the A-Bank VVT Bush Carrier Assembly. Refer to
operation 12.65.51 in this Section.
15. Refit the Timing Cover. Refer to Operation 12.65.01 in this
Section.

6. 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.

7. Install the crankshaft setting peg 303-531 to the crankshaft
position sensor location.
1. Install the crankshaft setting peg 303-531.
Position the crankshaft so that the setting peg engages
fully into the timing slot.
2. Install and tighten the bolt to secure the setting peg.
8. Lower the vehicle on the ramp.

9. Install the camshaft locking tool 303-530 to Bank 2 camshafts,
aligning the shafts sl ightly as necessary.

10. CAUTION: Use a length of steel strip that will not fall
into the timing cover.
Protect the upper face of the ti ming cover from scratches, when
removing the bolt which secures the sprocket.
1. Place a flat piece of stee l strip along the timing cover
horizontal jointing face, adjacent to the exhaust
camshaft sprocket.
2. Secure the steel strip in place with adhesive tape.
11. A ball-ended hexagon drive bit is required to remove the
sprocket securing bolt. A suitable tool is available from Snap On as (FABLM10E) Long Series 10mm AF.

Installation


12. Remove the bolt which secures the sprocket to the exhaust
camshaft.
Move the sprocket forward from the camshaft boss.

13. Remove the secondary chain tensioner.
1. Remove the two bolts which secure the tensioner.
Lift the tensioner, sprocket (release it fully from the
camshaft) and ch ain assembly.
2. Remove the tensioner rearward from between the chain.
14. Remove the sprocket if required, or leave it in the chain
resting on the cylinder head.
15. Clean and inspect all relevant components.

1. Install the sprocket to the secondary chain.
1. With the sprocket installe d to the chain, temporarily
position (do not install the securing bolt) the sprocket
onto the camshaft.
2. Adjust the position of the sprocket within the chain to
allow the chain tensioning tool 303-532 to be
approximately vertical, as shown.
Remove the chain tensioni ng tool; during future
operations, do not move the sprocket within the chain.
2. Push the tensioner piston into the body to provide clearance
for installing.
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.
