20. Remove the chain from the VVT unit and from the crankshaft
sprocket.
21. Clean and inspect all relevant components.

1. If removed previously, fit the sprocket to the crankshaft.
The teeth of the A-Bank and the B-Bank sprockets on the
crankshaft must be out of phas e with each other. If they
are in-phase after fitting, remo ve the sprocket, turn it on
its vertical axis and refit it.
2. Fit the chain tensioning tool 303 - 532 to the exhaust camshaft
sprocket.

Reposition the sprocket (and the VVT unit) for the most
advantageous position for use of the tool.
Remove the tool.

3. Refit the primary timing chain.
1. Fit the primary chain to position over the crankshaft sprocket and the VVT unit sprocket. There must be no
slack on the drive side of the primary chain and the
VVT unit must not be rotated on the camshaft.

4. Fit the primary chain tensioner blade.
1. Position the tensioner blade to the cylinder block.
2. Fit the retaining / pivot bolt and tighten it to 12-16 Nm.

5. Refit the primary chain tensione r assembly. Refer to Operation
12.65.54 in this Section.
Use a wedge 303 - 533 (or two if required) between the
primary chain tensioner and tensioner blade, to take up
the slack in the chain.
6. Tighten the exhaust camshaft sprocket securing bolt.
1. Fit 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 sprocket securing bolt to 115 -
125 Nm.

7. Tighten the VVT unit 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, tighten the VVT unit
securing bolt to 115 - 125 Nm.
Remove the chain tensioning tool and the wedge(s).
8. Remove the camshaft locking tool 303 - 530.
9. Raise the vehicle on the ramp.
10. Remove the crankshaft setting tool 303 - 531.

11. Refit the crankshaft position sensor.
1. Fit the sensor to the fl ywheel housing and fit the
securing bolt. Tighten to 8-12 Nm.
2. Refit the access grommet to the housing.
12. Lower the ramp.

13. Fit new seals to the VVT bush carrier.
1. Fit the new sealing ring (scarf jointed) to the carrier bush groove.
2. Fit a new O-ring to the carrier oil-way.
14. Fit the VVT bush carrier to the cylinder block.

Lubricate the seal (scarf jointed) and the bush.
1. Fit the bush carrier assembly.
Check that the seals are in pl ace and that the ring dowels
are engaged squarely. Fully locate the assembly as much
as possible by hand pressure.
2. Fit the three securing bolts. Tighten to 19-23 Nm.
15. Refit the Timing Cover. Refer to Operation 12.65.01 in this
Section.
16. Move the engine compartment cover from the service position
and connect the gas struts.
17. Remove the paint protection sheets and close the cover.
18. Connect the battery and fit the battery cover.
Refer to the Battery Reconnection Procedure in Section
414-01.
