Camshaft, Remove and Install

  Remove

Remove air cleaner housing and got film mass air flow meter and air intake hose - see illustration "Air duct X 20 DTL, Y 20 DTL" and "Air duct Y 20 DTH up to MY 2003" and "Air duct Y 20 DTH as of MY 2003, Y 22 DTR".

Remove cylinder head cover – see operation "Cylinder Head Cover, Remove and Install".

Remove vacuum pump from cylinder head and lay aside to rear – see operation "Vacuum Pump, Remove and Install".

Remove ribbed V-belt tensioner – see operation "Ribbed V-belt Tensioner Assembly, Remove and Install".

Lock engine at 1st cylinder TDC – see operation "Engine, Lock at 1st Cylinder TDC (Timing, Check)".

Remove simplex chain tensioner (2) – note installation position.

Caution

Use sheet metal plate or suitable heat shielding to avoid damaging the guide rails.

  Remove

Heat fastening bolts (1) intensively with hot air blower and remove. Remove simplex timing chain guide rail (3) upwards – note installation position.

Caution

Remove Test Gauge KM-932 from cylinder head and Injection Pump Lock Pin KM-927 from lock bore.

  Remove

Remove camshaft sprocket from camshaft – counterhold with open-ended wrench on hex of camshaft.

Note:   To simplify installation, suspend simplex timing chain at suitable point.

Object Number: 2396000  Size: DEFAULT

Caution

Note marking before dismantling camshaft bearing cover!

The camshaft must release evenly from the bearing seats.

  Remove

Release camshaft bearing cover in spiral pattern in steps of 1/2 to 1 turn in sequence illustrated.

Detach camshaft bearing caps from cylinder head and remove camshaft.

Note:   If the camshaft is being replaced, the valve bridges must also be replaced – note installation positions of valve bridges!

Object Number: 2396001  Size: DEFAULT

  Clean

Clean sealing surfaces and remove gasket residues.

  Inspect

Check camshaft and bearing seat for wear, replace if necessary.

  Install

If valve bridges are being replaced – note installation position. Marks on the valve bridges are on the injection nozzle traverse side.

Apply surface sealant (green) to sealing surfaces (arrows).

Coat sliding surfaces of valve bridges and camshaft with MoS 2 lubricating paste (grey). Insert camshaft into cylinder head.

Caution

Note identification on camshaft bearing caps.

  Install

Attach camshaft bearing caps to cylinder head and tighten using spiral pattern in steps of 1/2 up to 1 turn in sequence illustrated – tightening torque 15 Nm / 11 lbf. ft.

Object Number: 2396002  Size: DEFAULT

Insert camshaft sprocket in simplex timing chain.

Attach camshaft sprocket with new fastening bolt to camshaft and tighten by hand.

Caution

Ensure that the camshaft sprocket is not askew on the camshaft – camshaft sprocket must lie plane on the camshaft.

  Install

Insert and install simplex timing chain guide rail (1) – use new fastening bolts (2) – note installation position – tightening torque 8 Nm / 6 lbf. ft.

Object Number: 2395997  Size: DEFAULT

  Inspect

Arrow (1) on simplex fuel injection pump sprocket must align with recess in fuel injection pump flange and lock bore (2) in fuel injection pump.

  Install

Insert Injection Pump Lock Pin KM-927 (3) in lock bore of fuel injection pump.

Object Number: 2395988  Size: DEFAULT

Insert carrier (1) of Adjuster KM-933 (4) vertically into camshaft sprocket.

Install Adjuster KM-933 on cylinder head.

  Adjust

Use handle (2) to exert slight pressure on the carrier in the direction of arrow (counter engine rotational direction) and fix in place with holder bolt (3).

Injection Pump Lock Pin KM-927 must be able to be installed and removed under suction. If this is not the case, decrease the pressure on the carrier disk slightly via the holder bolt.

Object Number: 2400016  Size: DEFAULT

  Install

Fasten camshaft sprocket to camshaft – tightening torque 90 Nm / 66 lbf. ft. + 60° + 30°.

Insert Simplex chain tensioner (4) into cylinder head – closed side of chain tensioner must point to tensioner blade. Install Simplex chain tensioner screw plug (2) with new seal ring (3) – tightening torque 60 Nm / 44 lbf. ft.

Caution

A distinction must be made between versions with and without release bolts (1).

In versions with release bolts the chain tensioner must be untightened using the release bolt after installation!

  Inspect

Press in the release pin with a hammer shaft until a click is heard.

It must be possible to push in release bolt up to stop with thumb and for it to slide back to its original position automatically – the release bolt can no longer be pushed in once the oil pressure has built up.

Object Number: 2396174  Size: DEFAULT

  Remove

Remove all locking and adjusting tools.

  Adjust

At fastening bolt of torsional vibration damper, turn crankshaft two turns (approx. 720°) in engine rotational direction to just before "1st cylinder TDC" – mark (3) on torsional vibration damper is just before lug (2) on timing case.

  Inspect

In this position, the cams (1) of the 1st cylinder are just before TDC (both cams point upwards).

Object Number: 2396354  Size: DEFAULT

  Install

Insert Crankshaft Lock Pin KM-929 (1) in aperture for crankshaft pulse pick-up and simultaneously slowly turn crankshaft further in engine rotational direction at fastening bolt of torsional vibration damper until crankshaft lock pin engages to stop in cylinder block or crank web.

  Inspect

In this position, marks (2) must align.

Object Number: 2414857  Size: DEFAULT

Arrow (1) on simplex fuel injection pump sprocket must align with recess in fuel injection pump flange and lock bore (2) in fuel injection pump.
