Repair Procedures: Installation

  1. Install the timing chain cover (A).
    1. Using a gasket scraper, remove all the old and hardened sealant from the gasket surfaces.
    2. The sealant locations on chain cover and on counter parts (cylinder head, cylinder block, and camshaft front bearing cap) must be free of engine oil and etc.
    3. Before assembling the timing chain cover, liquid sealant Loctite 5900H or equivalent should be applied on the gap between the timing chain cover and the camshaft front bearing cap, cylinder head, cylinder block. The part must be assembled within 5 minutes after sealant was applied.

      Bead width  :2.0 - 3.0 mm (0.08 - 0.12 in.)

    4. After applying liquid sealant Loctite 5900H or equivalent on the timing chain cover.

      The part must be assembled within 5 minutes after sealant was applied. Continuous bead of sealant should be applied to prevent any path of oil leakage.

      Bead width  :2.0 - 3.0 mm (0.08 - 0.12 in.)

    5. The dowel pins on the cylinder block and holes on the timing chain cover should be used as a reference in order to assemble the timing chain cover to be in exact position.

      Tightening torque 

      M6 X 25 bolt:

      7.8 - 9.8 N.m (0.8 - 1.0 kgf.m, 5.8 - 7.2 lb.ft)

      M8 X 28 bolt:

      18.6 - 22.6 N.m (1.9 - 2.3 kgf.m, 13.7 - 16.6 lb.ft)

    NOTE:
    • The engine starting or pressure tests should not be performed within 30 minutes after the timing chain cover was assembled.
  2. Install the front oil seal.

    (Refer to Timing System - "FRONT OIL SEAL ")

  3. Remove it by breaking the center part of E-CVVT motor plug (A).

    NOTE:
    • Remove after 30 minutes of switching "OFF" the ignition to drain out the oil inside the E-CVVT motor plug.
    • Do not tilt the front of engine (timing chain cover side) downward as residual oil may flow out during E-CVVT motor plug removal.
    • If oil flows out during E-CVVT motor plug removal, wipe off immediately and block the motor shaft inlet with a clean towel.
  4. Clean the E-CVVT motor plug mounting surface (A) with oil cleaner.

    NOTE:
    • If the surface is not cleaned, E-CVVT motor plug may be separated due to diminished separation force from residual oil.
    • When spraying oil cleaner, block around the motor shaft inlet and rotor gap with a clean towel to prevent inflow of oil from flowing into the rotor gap.
  5. When reusing the E-CVVT cover, inspect the below items.
    1. If there is sign of leakage from inside the E-CVVT cover, replace it with a new one.
    2. Check for worn connector brush.

      Specified value  : Over 5 mm (0.1969 in.)

      If measurement is below specification, replace the E-CVVT cover with a new one.

    3. Check for damaged oil seal (A) and if any damage is found, replace the E-CVVT cover with a new one.

    4. After inspecting E-CVVT, if no problem is found, replace the o-ring (A) with a new one.

  6. Install the E-CVVT cover.
    1. Apply the engine oil on oil seal lip (A).

      NOTE:
      • When applying the engine oil, keep the connector brush (A) clean from foreign materials.

    2. Insert SST(09243-C2000) into the E-CVVT motor shaft.

      NOTE:
      • Correctly mount SST onto the motor shaft.
    3. Slowly push the E-CVVT cover (A) until it is flush with the timing chain cover surface.

      NOTE:
      • Installing the E-CVVT cover without SST may cause oil leakage inside the E-CVVT motor due to the damage or separation of the E-CVVT oil seal.
    4. Pre-tighten the bolts in the below sequence, and then remove the SST(09243-C2000).

      Tightening torque: 

      1.0 - 2.0 N.m (0.1 - 0.2 kgf.m, 0.7 - 1.4 lb.ft)

    5. Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in the sequence below.

      Tightening torque: 

      9.8 - 11.8 N.m (1.0 - 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 - 8.7 lb.ft)

  7. Install the E-CVVT plug.
    1. By using SST(09243-C2000), insert the plug (A) into the E-CVVT cover hole.

      NOTE:
      • Do not reuse a E-CVVT motor plug.
    2. Mount the stopper of SST so that it sits at the end of E-CVVT motor shaft.

  8. Inspect the pressed depth of E-CVVT plug.
    1. By using a steel ruler, measure the distance from E-CVVT cover center boss to the end of motor shaft ((1)).
    2. By using a steel ruler, measure the distance from E-CVVT cover center boss to the end of E-CVVT plug ((2)).

    3. Calculate the pressed depth ((3)) of motor plug.

      If out of specification, reinstall after replacing the E-CVVT plug with a new one.

      Pressed depth  : (3) = (2) - (1)

      Specified value  :1.9 - 2.1 mm (0.0748 - 0.0827 in.)

  9. Insert the E-CVVT cover plug so that the protrusion (A) reach to E-CVVT cover groove correctly.

    NOTE:
    • Check how much protrude after installing the E-CVVT plug.

    • Be careful that the plug is not inserted inside E-CVVT cover beyond the regulated range.
  10. Install the other parts in the reverse order of removal.
    NOTE:
    • Refill the engine with the engine oil.
    • Refill the transaxle with fluid.
    • Refill the radiator and reservoir tank with the coolant.
    • Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble.
    • Inspect for fuel leakage.
      • After assemble the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and make pressure to the fuel line.
      • Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
    • Bleed air from the cooling system.
