    3. Wrap tape around the tip of the air gun and apply air of approx. 98kpa (1 kg/cm2 , 14psi) to the port of the camshaft.

      Perform this order to release the lock pin for the maximum delay angle locking.)

      NOTE: Wrap around it with a shop rag and the likes, because the oil splashes.
    4. Under the condition of 3), turn the CVVT assembly to the advance angle side with your hand.
      • Depending on the air pressure, the CVVT assembly will turn to the advance side.
      • If air is leaking from the port and air pressure cannot be maintained, the locking pin will not release.

      Standard:  Movable smoothly in the range about 20°

    6. Turn the CVVT assembly with your hand and lock it at the maximum delay angle position.
