ery ground cable.
R
emove the battery cover.
4. Remove the Timing Co ver. Refer to Operation 12.65.01 in this
Section.
5. Remove the VVT bush carrier from the A-Bank.

.
Clean and inspect all relevant components.

1. F
it the sprockets to the crankshaft.
Th

e 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, remove the A-Bank sprocket,
turn it on its vertical axis and refit it.

2. F
it the chain tensioning tool 303 - 532 to the exhaust camshaft
sprocket, B-Bank.
Re
position the sprocket (and
the VVT unit) for the most
advantageous position for use of the tool.
R
emove the tool.

3. R
efit the primary timing chain, B-Bank.
1. Fit the primary chain 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 rotate d on the camshaft.
Sl
ide the VVT and exhaust sprocket fully rearwards onto
the respective camshafts.
4. Fit the primary chain tensioner blade.
1. Position the tensioner blade to the cylinder block.

9. F
it the chain tensioning tool 303 - 532 to the exhaust camshaft
sprocket, A-Bank.
Re
position the sprocket (and
the VVT unit) for the most
advantageous position for use of the tool.
R
emove the tool.

.
Refit the primary timing chain, A-Bank.
1. Fit the primary chain 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 rotate d on the camshaft.

11
.
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.
12. Refit the primary chain tens ioner assembly. Refer to
Operation 12.65.54 in this Section.
U
se a wedge 303 - 533 (or two if required) between the
primary chain tensioner and te nsioner blade, to take up
the slack in the chain.
