31.Check that fitted height of valve guide, 'A', is
6.00 mm (0.24 in).

valves that are to be re-used.
33.Renew valve seat inserts as necessary.
CAUTION: Do not damage counterbore
when removing insert.
34.Cool replacement valve seat inserts using
liquid nitrogen and press into cylinder head in
one continuous operation.
CAUTION: Do not heat cylinder head.
Inserts must not stand proud of combustion
face on completion of cutting operation.
35.Cut valve seats using a suitable pilot and the
following cutters:
l15° - To cut first angle
l45° - Make final cut and remove any burrs
l60° - To narrow seat and obtain correct
valve seat width
36.Check valve seat width and face angle:
lSeat width - 'A' - Inlet = 1.2 mm (0.05 in);
Exhaust = 1.6 mm (0.06 in)
lValve face angle - 'B' - Inlet and exhaust =
45°
37.Lap each valve to its seat using grinding paste.38.Apply Prussian Blue to valve seat, insert valve
and press it into position several times without
rotating. Remove and check valve for even and
central seating: seating position shown by
Prussian Blue should be in the centre of valve
face: a: High towards stem, increase 60° cut
and restore seat width. b: Low towards edge,
increase 45° cut and restore seat width. Lap
and recheck valve seating.
39.Check valve stem fitted height - 'A'.

tappets with clean engine oil. Fit hydraulic
tappets to original bores in cylinder head.
10.Ensure that mating faces of camshaft carrier
and cylinder head are clean and dry.
11.Lubricate camshafts and bearing journals with
clean engine oil.
12.Position camshafts in cylinder head with rear
timing gear drive slots in each camshaft facing
towards the centre as shown.
CAUTION: Ensure camshafts are in their
correct fitted locations. Camshafts are
colour coded - Inlet - Orange; Exhaust -
Blue.13.Apply continuous thin beads of sealant, Part
No. STC 4600, to paths on camshaft carrier as
shown. Spread sealant to an even film using a
roller.

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
the first 3 threads.

backplates to cylinder head, fit and tighten bolts
to 9 Nm (7.5 lbf.ft).
18.Fit spark plugs.
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.
21.Keeping the timing marks aligned, position
timing belt onto gears.
22.Position LRT-12-195 between the gears, turn
centre nut sufficiently to spread drive belt.
23.Invert gears and timing belt and position LRT-
12-175 to camshaft gears.
24.Check that locating lugs are still aligned and
remove LRT-12-195 from between camshaft
gears.

25.Fit LRT-12-198 alignment pins into the end of
each camshaft.
26.Position timing belt and gears over LRT-12-198
and locate gears onto camshafts.
27.Position LRT-12-197 into the front end of the
exhaust camshaft.
28.With assistance, using a 30 mm socket on LRT-
12-197, turn the exhaust camshaft sufficiently
to align camshaft gears to the drive slots in
each camshaft.29.Remove LRT-12-198 alignment pins and fit
new camshaft gear retaining bolts.
30.Tighten camshaft gear bolts to:
lStage 1 - 27 Nm (20 lbf.ft)
lStage 2 - Further 90°
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.
33.Fit timing belt rear cover and tighten bolts to 9
Nm (7 lbf.ft).
