Valve timing procedures
- Removal/installation of timing chain requires:
- Sump removal.
- Engine at TDC on No.1 cylinder.
- Remove blanking plug from cylinder block.
- Insert flywheel/drive plate timing pin [1] .
NOTE: Engine should not turn if flywheel/drive plate timing pin fitted correctly.
- Ensure inlet camshaft lobes for No.1 cylinder angled upwards [2] .
- Ensure part number on each camshaft is facing upwards [3] .
- Ensure exhaust camshaft lobes for No.6 cylinder are positioned as shown [4] .
- Ensure camshaft alignment tools can be fitted [5] , [6] & [7] .
- If not, adjust camshafts as follows:
- Slacken central bolt on each camshaft adjuster [8] .
- Remove tensioner assembly [9] .NOTE: If chain tensioner is to be re-used it must be drained of oil. Compress plunger slowly twice.
- Ensure sensor gear locating holes at 9 o’clock position [10] .
- Install sensor gear alignment tool and secure to cylinder head [11] .
- Install timing chain pre-tensioning tool [12] .
- Screw in adjusting screw until in contact with guide rail.
- Pre-load timing chain with tensioning tool to 0,6 Nm [12] .
- Tighten central bolt on each camshaft adjuster [8] . Tightening torque: 20 Nm + 180°.
NOTE: Central bolt of camshaft adjusters MUST only be used once.
- Remove:
- Flywheel/drive plate timing pin [1] .
- Sensor gear alignment tool [11] .
- Camshaft alignment tools [5] , [6] & [7] .
- Timing chain pre-tensioning tool [12] .
- Install tensioner assembly [9] . Tightening torque: 55 Nm.
- Turn crankshaft two turns clockwise.
- Ensure flywheel/drive plate timing pin and camshaft alignment tools can be refitted [1] , [5] , [6] & [7] .
NOTE: Crankshaft pulley central bolt MUST only be used once.
