REFITTING
I - REFITTING PREPARATION OPERATION
aAlways replace:
-the nut from the camshaft pulley,
-the camshaft seal.
a
aUsing ABRASIVE PADS clean the load-bearing sur-
faces of the camshaft bearings.
aDegrease the load-bearing surfaces of the camshaft
bearings using SURFACE CLEANER (see Vehi-
cle: Parts and consumables for the repair) (04B,
Consumables - Products) and a CLEAN CLOTH.
aApply four beads (1) of RESIN ADHESIVE (see Ve-
hicle: Parts and consumables for the repair)
(04B, Consumables - Products) 7 mm in diameter
on the cylinder head.II - REFITTING OPERATION FOR PART
CONCERNED

shaft bearings.
aTighten the camshaft bearing bolts (1) , (3) , (4) and
(2) in order.
aRefit the camshaft bearing bolts in order.
aTighten to torque and in order the bolts of the cam-
shaft bearings (10 N.m).
III - FINAL OPERATION

WARNING
Clean the thread hole of the camshaft carefully to
prevent foreign bodies from entering the cam-
shaft.
Failure to follow this advice could lead to the
blocking of the oil inlet holes, which would quickly
result in engine damage.
