2. Remove the drain plug from the oil pan and drain the engine oil.
Install a new sealing wash er to the
drain plug.
Wipe the drain plug an

Nm.

15. I

Lubrica

te each tappet assembly.
1. Install each tappet and shim asse mbly to its previously identified
position in the cylinder head.
16. Apply oil (EP-90) to the camshaft and bearing surfaces, as follows:

To th
e upper face of each bearing surface (two places) in the cylinder
head.
To th
e upper face of each bearing surface (two places) in each bearing
cap.
On
the cam lobes ONLY, not on the base circle area.

.
Install the camshafts.
1. Install the camshafts to position in the cylinder head, with the timing flats uppermost.
2. Install the camshaft caps to their respective locations (inlet 0 to 4 and exhaust 5 to 9 from the front) and in the correct orientation
(arrow to front of engine).
3. Install and tighten the cap securing bolts. Tighten evenly, in stages, to 10 Nm.
18. Install the camshaft locking tool 303 - 530, align the camshafts as
necessary.

19
.
Install the chain guide.
• NOTE: The chain guide must be installed so that the slotted hole is
towards the top, and the raised shoulder to the cylinder block. 1. Install the chain guide to the block and locate it onto the upper retaining pin.
2. Install the retaining bolt and tighten it to 12 Nm.

20
.
Push the secondary chain tensioner piston into the body to provide
clearance for installing the chain.
1. Insert a thin rigid wire through 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.
Re
move the wire.

21
.
Install the secondary chain tensioner to the engine.
1. Fully seat the tensioner to the cylinder head.
2. Install the two bolts which secure the tensioner and tighten to 12 Nm.
22. Install the VVT unit to the engine.
A

A coola n
t drain plug is located at the rear of the cylinder block.
Coolant may be drained from the A-bank, by removing the coolant pipe from behind the starter motor.
For vehicles fitted with the cold climate package, a cylinder block heater (shown) replaces the drain plug located on the B-
bank.
Coolant Pump and Flow Control

The coolant pump is fitted between the two cylinder banks, on the front face of the cylinder block.
The pump consists of a housing containing a shaft, with a sh rouded plastic impeller on one end and a drive pulley on the
other.
A pair of roller bearings support the shaft in the housing. A seal behind the impeller prevents coolant from contaminating the
bearings. Should this seal fail, coolant escapes from a witness hole in the housin g indicating that immediate action is
required.
An O-ring and an aluminum-alloy gasket, seal the ports between the pump and the cylinder banks.
Coolant Outlet Duct

The
automatic belt tensioner consists of an idler pulley which is
free to rotate on a bearing, located at the end of a spring-
loaded pivot arm.
The pivot arm can be turned counter-clockwise (viewed from th e front of the engine) for belt removal and installation.
A belt-wear indicator is incorporated on th e rear horizontal face of the pivot arm.

The B and C posts and closing pane ls of both models are extensively reinforced to satisfy all forthcoming global legislation
on side impact protection.
Plenum Braces

Braces bolted to welded brackets on th e upper toeboard and plenum at each side of the BIW, achieve high structural
integrity and frontal crash performance.
