2007 KIA CARNIVAL Workshop Manual

(4)Install the bearing caps with the tightening torque.
Do not turn the camshaft.
(5) Remove the bearing caps.
(6) Measure the plastigage at its widest point.
Bearing oil clearance
[Standard value]
Intake : 0.020 ~ 0.057mm (0.0008 ~ 0.0022in.)
Exhaust : 0.020 ~ 0.057mm (0.0008 ~ 0.0022in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the camshaft. If necessary, replace the cylinder head.
(7) Completely remove the plastigage.
(8) Remove the camshafts.
4. Inspect camshaft end play.
(1) Install the camshafts.
(2) Using a dial indicator, measure the end play while moving the camshaft back and forth.
Camshaft end play
[Standard value] : 0.05 ~ 0.15mm(0.0020 ~ 0.0059in.)

If the end play is greater than the maximum, replace the camshaft. If necessary, replace the cylinder head.
(3) Remove the camshafts.
CVVT ASSEMBLY
1.Inspect CVVT assembly.
(1) Fix the CVVT assembly with a vice. Ensure that the cam lobe and journal is not damaged.
(2) Check that the CVVT assembly will not turn.
It should not be turned.
(3) Apply vinyl tape to the retard hole except the one(A) indicated by the arrow in the illustration.
(4)Wind tape around the tip of the air gun and apply air of approx. 150kpa(1.5kgf/cm², 21psi) to the port of the
camshaft.
(Perform this in order to release the lock pin for the maximum delay angle locking.)
When the oil splashes, wipe it off with a shop rag.
(5) After the lock pin released, the CVVT assembly can turned in advanced direction.
If the air applied is leaked much, the lock pin can not be released.
(6) Except the position where the lock pin meets at the maximum delay angle, let the CVVT assembly turn back
and forth and check the movable range and that there is no resistance to movement.
Standard: Movable smoothly in the range about 60°
(7) Turn the CVVT assembly with your hand in retard direction and lock it at the maximum delay angle position.

REASSEMBLY
a.Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.
b. Before installing the parts, apply fresh engine oil to all sliding and rotating surfaces.
c. Replace oil seals with new ones.
1. Install valves.
(1) Using SST(09222- 22001), push in a new valve stem seal with applying engine oil.
a.Do not reuse old valve stem seals.
Incorrect installation of the seal could result in oil leakage past the valve guides.
b. Reassemble the valve stem seals
(2) After applying engine oil on the outer surface of each valve stem, insert the valve in the valve guide.
Install the valve, valve spring and spring retainer.
When installing valve springs, the side coated with enamel should face toward the valve spring retainer
(3) Using the SST(09222 - 3K000, 09222 - 3C300), compress the springs and install the retainer locks. After
installing the valves, ensure that the retainer locks are correctly in place before releasing the valve spring
compressor.

(4)Lightly tap the end of each valve stem two or three times with the wooden handle of a hammer to ensure
proper seating of the valve and retainer lock.
2. Install MLAs with engine oil applied on its surface.
Check that the MLA rotates smoothly by hand.
MLA should be reinstalled in its original position.
3. Install OCV(Oil Control Valve)(A).
Tightening torque
7.8 ~ 9.8Nm(0.8 ~ 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2lb - ft)
a.To install OCV with gray colored connector into RH bank.
b. To install OCV with black colored connector into LH bank.

a.Do not reuse the OCV when dropped.
b. Keep clean the OCV.
c. Do not hold the OCV sleeve during servicing.
d. When the OCV is installed on the engine, do not move the engine while holding the OCV yoke.
e. If there is dust on the filter(B) of the OCV, clean it all.

Engine And
Transaxle Assembly

2007 > 2.7L V6 GASOLINE >
REMOVAL
a.Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces.
b. To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.
a.Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
1. Remove the engine cover.
2. Disconnect the neagative terminal from the battery and remove the battery(A).
3.Remove the intake air hose and air cleaner assembly.
(1) Disconnect the MAF connector(A).
(2) Disconnect the breather hose(B) from air cleaner hose.
(3) Remove the intake air hose and air cleaner assembly(C).
4.Remove the battery tray(A).

5.Remove the under cover.
6.Drain the engine coolant.
7. Remove the upper radiator hose(A) and lower radiator hose(B).
8.Remove the transaxle oil cooler hoses(A/T vehicles only).
9. Remove the fuel inlet hose(A) from the delivery pipe.
10. Disconnect the engine wiring harness connectors.
