Applications
The application list for this product has been compiled cross referencing the OEM Tool Code with the
Component Code. In most cases the tools are specific to this type of engine and are necessary for Cam
belt or chain maintenance. If the engine has been identified as an interference engine valve to piston
damage will occur if the engine is run with a broken Cam belt.
A compression check of all cylinders should be performed before removing the cylinder head.
Always consult a suitable work shop manual before attempting to change the Cam belt or Chain.

It is therefore necessary to remove the
engine, transmission and flywheel before
it is possible to remove and replace the
timing chains.
The Crankshaft Pulley may require turning
to a position just before Top Dead Centre
to enable the Crankshaft Alignment Pin
(B) to be inserted.
The threaded holes in the camshafts must
face upwards and lock the Balancer Shaft
in position.
Fit the Camshaft Locking Tools (A) in
position, and tighten the securing bolts
to 20Nm. (If this tool cannot be fitted, the
valve timing is incorrect).
It will be necessary to remove the chain
tensioners to enable chain removal and
replacement.
The Tensioner plunger must be depressed
and locked in position with Tensioner
Locking Pin (C)
With the chains removed align the
Camshafts and refit the Camshaft
Alignment tools (A)

Refit the chains.
It is recommended that following the
removal of all tools the crankshaft
is turned twice and the valve timing
positions re-checked by re-fitting the
camshaft and crankshaft tools.
