the slack in the chain.
5. Tighten the exhaust camshaft sprocket securing bolt.
1. Install 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.

6. Tighten the intake camshaft sprocket 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, ti ghten the securing bolt to
115-125 Nm.
Remove the chain tensioning tool and the wedge(s).

7. Remove the camshaft locking t ool 303-530 and transfer it to
Bank 1 camshafts, aligning the shafts slightly as necessary.

8. Install the chain tensioning tool 303-532 to the exhaust
camshaft sprocket, Bank 1.
Reposition the sprockets to the most advantageous
position for use of the tool.
Remove the tool.
9. Install the primary timi ng chain, Bank 1.
1. Install the primary chain over the crankshaft sprocket and the intake camshaft sp rocket. There must be no
slack on the drive side of the primary chain and the
sprockets should not be rotated on the camshafts (or
the tensioning tool may not fit).

10. Install the primary ch ain tensioner blade.
1. Position the tensioner blade to the cylinder block.
2. Install the retaining / pivo t bolt and tighten it to 12-
16 Nm.

11. Install the primary chain te nsioner assembly. Refer to
Operation 12.65.54.

primary chain tensioner and te nsioner blade, to take up
the slack in the chain.

12. Tighten the exhaust camshaft sprocket securing bolt.
1. Install 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.
13. Tighten the intake camshaft sprocket 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, ti ghten the securing bolt to
115-125 Nm.
Remove the chain tensioning tool and the wedge(s).

14. Remove the camshaft locking tool 303-530.
