Refit

1. Inspect camshaft timing belt for signs of uneven wear, splitting, or oil contamination. Renew belt if necessary.
2. Clean sealing area of head and camshaft, ensuring all traces of rubber are removed. DO NOT use a scraper as this may damage sealing surfaces.
3. Lubricate sealing surfaces of new oil seal with clean engine oil.

4. Using tool 18G 1587 fit NEW camshaft oil seal.
5. Clean camshaft gear.

CAUTION: If the sintered gears have been subjected to prolonged oil contamination, they must be soaked in a solvent bath and thoroughly washed in clean solvent before refitment. Because of the porous construction of sintered material, oil impregnated in the gear will emerge and contaminate a new timing belt.

6. Align camshaft gear timing marks and fit camshaft gear to camshaft.
7. Fit tool 18G 1570 to camshaft gears.
8. Fit bolt and washer securing camshaft gear to camshaft and tighten bolt to 35 Nm.
