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.
Rem
ove the wire.
27. Assemble the tensioner.
1. Install the two mounting bolts to the tensioner.
2. Locate the tensioner back-plate to the two bolts.

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.

30
.
CAUTION: Make sure that a new bolt is installed.
Tighten the exhaust camshaft sprocket securing bolt. 1. Instal the chain tensioner t ool 303 - 532 to the sprocket holes.
Appl
y force to the tool in an anti
-clockwise direction to tension the
chain on its drive side.
