Removing the camshaft and hydraulic chain tensioner

NOTES
The cylinder head having cracks between the valve seats or between valve seat and the spark plug hole, can be used if the crack width of 0.3 mm or damaged to four of the first threads of the spark plug.
After installing the camshaft, wait for 30 minutes before starting the engine for the hydraulic tappets have come back to normal, because otherwise the pistons may hit the valves.
If you were working on the timing, turn the hand crank shaft on two complete revolutions, to ensure that the pistons do not strike the valves.
Replace all new gaskets and O-rings.


Removal and installation of camshafts and hydraulic chain tensioner is held with the engine mounted on the vehicle.
Install the front transverse panel in service position (see. "Body").

Combining marks on the camshaft sprocket with pointers to the cylinder head when installed in TDC of first cylinder
Fig. 3.1.64. Combining marks on the camshaft sprocket with pointers to the cylinder head when installed in TDC of first cylinder


Check that the camshafts are installed in TDC position of first cylinder, and the label on the back of stars have to be aligned with the pointer on the cylinder head (Fig. 3.1.64).

Location registration marks on the chain and sprockets and location measuring the distance between the marks
Fig. 3.1.65. Location registration marks on the chain and sprockets and location measuring the distance between the marks


Put combination labels on a chain in front of labels on asterisks and the cylinder head (Fig. 3.1.65).
The distance between the labels put on the chain should be equal to sixteen units.

When installing a new circuit distance between the marks A and B should be sixteen units of the chain. It shows the exact position of the 1st and 16th of the chain links
Fig. 1.3.69. When installing a new circuit distance between the marks A and B should be sixteen units of the chain. It shows the exact position of the 1st and 16th of the chain links


The label on the camshaft exhaust valves must be slightly offset relative to the inside of the roller chain 1 (see. Fig. 1.3.69).

Install toothed belt pulley on the camshaft. Pay attention to the installation position of the pulley: on the front side of the pulley should be visible label FROM (TDC) of the first cylinder (Fig. 1.3.71). Turn the pulley bolt and tighten it to 65 Nm while holding the pulley from turning tool 3036.

Align the mark on the camshaft pulley with a pointer to the cylinder head cover (see. Fig. 3.1.39).
Align the mark on the pulley-damper crankshaft with a pointer to a casing of a gear belt (see. Fig. 3.1.39).
Install the timing belt and adjust its tension.
After installing the camshaft, wait for 30 minutes before starting the engine for the hydraulic tappets have come to normal. Otherwise, the pistons may strike the valve.
If you were working on the timing, turn the hand crank shaft on two complete revolutions, to ensure that the pistons do not strike the valves.
