NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, may cause engine failure.
NOTE: Assembly of the engine requires various inspections/measurements of the engine components (engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons and piston rings). These inspections/measurements will aid in determining if the engine components will require replacement.
NOTE: If the cylinder head(s) is replaced, a new secondary timing chain tensioner will need to be installed.
NOTE: The Differential Bearing Cone Installer is used to install the Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) solenoid seals.
81. Install the primary timing chain tensioner arm.
82. Reset the primary timing chain tensioner.
- Release the ratchet detent.
- Using a soft-jawed vise, compress the ratchet plunger.
- Align the hole in the ratchet plunger with the hole in the tensioner housing.
- Install a suitable lockpin.
83. NOTE: It may be necessary to rotate the camshafts slightly to remove slack from the timing chain to install the tensioner.
Install the primary tensioner and the 2 bolts.
- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
- Remove the lockpin.
84. As a post-check, verify correct alignment of all timing marks.
- There is 48 links in between the RH intake VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) assembly colored link (1) and the LH intake VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) assembly colored link (2).
- There is 35 links in between LH intake VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) assembly colored link (2) and the 2 crankshaft sprocket links (3).
85. NOTICE: Do not use excessive force when installing the Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) oil control solenoid. Damage to the mega cap could cause the cylinder head to be inoperable. If difficult to install the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) oil control solenoid, inspect the bore and VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) oil control solenoid to ensure there are no burrs, sharp edges or contaminants present on the mating surface. Only clean the external surfaces as necessary.
NOTE: A slight twisting motion will aid in the installation of the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) oil control solenoid.
NOTE: Keep the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) oil control solenoid clean of dirt and debris.
Install the LH intake VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) oil control solenoid and the bolt.

86. NOTICE: Do not use excessive force when installing the Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) oil control solenoid. Damage to the mega cap could cause the cylinder head to be inoperable. If difficult to install the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) oil control solenoid, inspect the bore and VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) oil control solenoid to ensure there are no burrs, sharp edges or contaminants present on the mating surface. Only clean the external surfaces as necessary.
NOTE: A slight twisting motion will aid in the installation of the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) oil control solenoid.

91. NOTICE: Only use a 3M(TM) Roloc(R) Bristle Disk (2-in white, part number 07528) to clean the engine front cover. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes or any other power abrasive disk to clean front cover.
Clean the engine front cover using a 3M(TM) Roloc(R) Bristle Disk (2-in white, part number 07528) in a suitable tool turning at the recommended speed of 15,000 rpm.
- Thoroughly wash the engine front cover to remove any foreign material, including any abrasive particles created during the cleaning process.
92. NOTICE: Place clean, lint-free shop towels over exposed engine cavities. Carefully remove the towels so foreign material is not dropped into the engine. Any foreign material (including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces) that enters the oil passages or the oil pan, may cause engine failure.
NOTICE: Do not use wire brushes, power abrasive discs or 3M(TM) Roloc(R) Bristle Disk (2-in white part number 07528) to clean the sealing surfaces of engine block, cylinder heads, and oil pan. These tools can cause contamination that will cause premature engine failure. Remove all traces of the gasket.

1. Remove any large deposits of silicone or gasket material.
2. Apply silicone gasket remover and allow to set for several minutes.
3. Remove the silicone gasket remover. A second application of silicone gasket remover may be required if residual traces of silicone or gasket material remain.
4. Apply metal surface prep to remove any remaining traces of oil or coolant and to prepare the surfaces to bond. Do not attempt to make the metal shiny. Some staining of the metal surfaces is normal.
5. Make sure the 2 locating dowel pins are seated correctly in the cylinder block.
93. Install the Alignment Pins.

The remainder of the engine front cover bolts must be installed and tightened within 35 minutes of the initial sealant application. If the time limits are exceeded, the sealant must be removed, the sealing area cleaned and sealant reapplied. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
