25 . R
emove the primary chain tensioner blade.
1. Remove the pivot bolt which secures the tensioner blade.
2. Remove the tensioner blade.
26. Reposition the VVT unit along the cam journal to allow the chain to clear
the head casting.
Di s
connect the primary chain from the VVT unit and secure it to the
bypass hose retaining clip, using a Ty-strap.
27. Remove the VVT unit and exhaust camshaft sprocket.
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 assembly (release the chain from the tensioner which is still
