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.

Disconnect the primary chain from the VVT unit and
reposition it against the crankshaft sprocket.

19. Remove the VVT unit.
1. Remove the securing bolt from 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.

2. Fit the retaining / pivot bolt and tighten it to 12-16 Nm.
