Installation Procedure
- Install the primary timing chain components.
- Using
EN 46111
(1), rotate the crankshaft in a clockwise direction until the crankshaft sprocket timing mark (2) is aligned with the indexing mark (3) on the oil pump housing.
- In order to install
EN 46105
onto the camshafts, rotate the camshafts. There should be no need to rotate the camshaft more than
45 degrees.
- Install EN-46105-1 (1) onto the rear of the bank 1 cylinder head camshafts (2).
- Install EN-46105-2 (1) onto the rear of the bank 2 cylinder head camshafts (2).
- Install the bank 1 secondary timing chain (1) onto the camshaft actuators (2) and the right hand camshaft intermediate driveshaft sprocket (3) aligning
the chain.
- Place the secondary timing chain around the bank 1 camshaft intermediate driveshaft outer sprocket, aligning the bright plated timing chain link (1) with the alignment
access hole (2) in the inner sprocket.
- Wrap the secondary timing chain around both bank 1 actuator drive sprockets.
Important: Ensure that when aligning the bank 1 secondary timing chain to the bank 1 camshaft actuator sprockets, that the triangular timing marks (1) on the sprocket are used, NOT the circular mark.
- Align the bright plated timing chain link (2) with the exhaust actuator sprocket alignment triangle mark.
- Align the bright plated timing chain link (1) with the intake actuator sprocket alignment triangle mark (2).
Important: Ensure that the bank 1 secondary timing chain guide is used when installing to the Bank 1 side in this procedure.
- Ensure that the bank 1 secondary timing chain guide is selected and orientated correctly.
- Position the chain guide (2).
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
- Ensure the primary timing chain upper guide is selected and orientated correctly.
Tighten
Tighten the secondary timing chain guide bolts to 23 N·m (17 lb ft).
Important: The bank 1 secondary camshaft drive shoe is marked with the letters ’RH’. Ensure that the bank 1 drive shoe is used when installing to the bank 1 side in this procedure and that the letters ’RH"
are facing the front of the vehicle when installed.
- Ensure the bank 1 secondary timing chain shoe is selected and orientated correctly.
- Position the bank 1 secondary timing chain shoe (1).
Tighten
Tighten the bank 1 secondary timing chain shoe attaching bolt to 23 N·m (17 lb ft).
- Ensure the bank 1 secondary timing chain tensioner is selected and orientated correctly.
Important: To reset the tensioner, use a suitably sized flat-bladed screwdriver (1) to wind the plunger in a clockwise direction, into the tensioner shaft (2).
- Reset the bank 1 secondary timing chain tensioner.
- Install the tensioner shaft (1) into the bank 1 secondary timing chain tensioner body (2).
Important: If
EN 46112
(1) is not inserted into the tensioner body (2), the plunger will remain in the locked position and no tension will be placed on the timing chain,
this will cause damage to the engine.
- Compress the tensioner shaft into the body and lock the tensioner by inserting
EN 46112
into the access hole in the side of the tensioner body.
- Slowly release pressure on the bank 1 secondary timing chain tensioner. The tensioner should remain compressed.
- Install a new bank 1 secondary timing chain tensioner gasket (1) to the tensioner (2).
- Install the bank 1 secondary timing chain tensioner bolts (3) through the tensioner and gasket.
- Ensure the bank 1 secondary timing chain tensioner mounting surface on the bank 1 cylinder head does not have any burrs or defects that would affect the sealing of the new tensioner gasket.
- Place the bank 1 secondary timing chain tensioner (2) into position and loosely install the bolts (1) to the engine block.
- Verify the proper placement of the bank 1 secondary timing chain tensioner gasket tab (1).
- Install the bank 1 secondary timing chain tensioner bolts (2).
Tighten
Tighten the bank 1 secondary timing chain tensioner bolts to 23 N·m (17 lb ft).
- Release the bank 1 timing chain tensioner (1) by pulling out
