15.Noting that the front camshaft oil seals are
black in colour and the rear oil seals are red, fit
new camshaft oil seals using LRT-12-203 and
LRT 12-148A
CAUTION: Oil seals must be fitted dry. Do
not use tool LRT-12-148 for fitting seals.
16.Clean camshaft timing belt cover backplate
bolts and apply sealant, Part No. STC 50552 to

19.Clean rear camshaft gears and mating faces on
camshafts.
CAUTION: If sintered gears have been
subjected to prolonged oil contamination,
they must be soaked in solvent and then
thoroughly washed in clean solvent before
refitting. Because of the porous
construction of sintered material, oil
impregnated in the gears will emerge and
contaminate the timing belts.20.Place gears inverted on a flat surface, with the
locating lugs on the gears positioned as
illustrated.

31.Remove LRT-12-175 from camshaft gears.
32.Remove LRT-12-197 from front end of exhaust
camshaft.
NOTE: Following front or rear timing belt
refitment, it is possible that after rotating the
engine and positioning the crankshaft pulley to
the 'SAFE' position, the timing marks on the
rear timing gears may be misaligned. This
misalignment is acceptable provided that the
timing belt refitting procedure was carried out
correctly.
