REMOVAL
CAUTION:
 Never loosen adjusting bolts (A), mounting bolt
s (black color) (B) of VVEL ladder assembly and
mounting bolts (C) of VVEL control shaft position sen sor. If loosened, the stroke of cam lift becomes
out of adjustment. In such case, replacement of VVEL ladder assembly and cylinder head assembly
is required.
 Never loosen the mounting bolts (C) of the VVEL control shaft position sensor. VVEL control shaft
position sensor mounting bolts are required to be loosened for adjustment only when using a new
VVEL ladder assembly. Refer to EC-150, "
Work Procedure".
NOTE:
VVEL ladder assembly cannot be replaced as a singl e part, because it is machined together with cylinder
head assembly.
1. Remove VVEL actuator motor assembly. Refer to EM-36, "
Exploded View".
2. Remove rocker covers (bank 1 and bank 2). Refer to EM-33, "
Exploded View".
3. Remove VVEL actuator housing assembly. Refer to EM-36, "
Exploded View".
4. Remove front cover, camshaft sprockets, and timing chains. Refer to EM-61, "
Exploded View".
5. Remove VVEL ladder assembly.
