Camshaft Timing Control Motor: Installation

  1. INSTALL CAM TIMING CONTROL WITH EDU MOTOR ASSEMBLY LH 
    1. Turn the camshaft timing gear's intermediate shaft index slot in the counterclockwise direction by hand, and set it to the maximum retard angle position.

      HINT:

      • When the cam of the camshaft lifts the valve, the intermediate shaft becomes difficult to turn.
      • The position where the intermediate shaft stops is the maximum retard angle.

    2. Install a new O-ring to the timing chain cover.
    3. Align the joint of the camshaft timing control motor and the keyway of the camshaft timing gear, and install the motor with the 3 bolts.

      Torque: 21 N*m (214 kgf*cm, 15 ft.*lbf) 

      NOTE:
      • Do not allow foreign matter to contact the oil seal face of the camshaft timing control motor (connecting surface with timing chain cover).
