28
.
Install the tensioner to the cylinder block.
1. Position and align the tensioner to the cylinder block and to the mating slot on the rear face of the tensioner blade.
2. Install and tighten the two bolts to 12 Nm.

29
.
Use a wedge 303 - 533 (or two if required) between the primary chain
tensioner and tensioner blade, to ta ke up the slack in the chain, for
tightening the VVT unit and exhaust camshaft sprocket.
