Engine Timing 6-cylinder engines

Replacement of a chain camshaft drive

The chain can be replaced from above the engine. However, replacement is recommended to remove timing cover and check the status of dampers, shoe and the tensioner chain and gears.

Removing the branch circuit (shown Hands cut the link)

Installing a new circuit on the former 1 - new chain 2 - the old Chain 3 - the camshaft sprocket

Installation unit for riveting 1 - link

Chain tensioner 1 - cork 2 - the tension device 3 - pusher 4 - spring 5 - ball check valve 6 - piston

Installing the distribution chain (Hands shows where the sealant is applied) 1 - the lower timing cover 2 - gasket

PERFORMANCE ORDER

Place the bonnet in the vertical position. Remove the fan cover guide. Disconnect a wire of "weight" of the battery. Remove the air filter assembly with the intake of cold air. Remove the cooling fan. Remove the protective cover from the distributor cap. Remove the screws that secure the cover of the distributor of ignition. Remove the bottom guard of the engine. Remove the heater outlet pipe. Disconnect the spark plug wire high voltage. Remove the cylinder head cover with high voltage wires and distributor cap ignition. If the head cover is hard to remove, it is forbidden to knock on it with a hammer to avoid cracking. Pry up the cover with caution. Remove distributor rotor leading pomehopodavitelnuyu plate and cover. Unscrew the top cover of a drive of a camshaft. Remove the top cover, striking a wooden mallet on the axis of the camshaft. Remove the center pad of the top cover. Rotate the crankshaft before the piston of 1st cylinder in TDC. Remove the screw cap chain tensioner. Remove the O-ring and spring. Loosen the screw cap with caution, to avoid spring ejection. Remove the lower ring. Remove the tensioner. To facilitate cranking remove the spark plug. Place a rag under the chain. Take precautions to avoid getting metal shavings to cover the camshaft drive. Cut both abrasive wheel axle dual link and knock him. Attach the new chain to the old, riveted link. Slowly turn the crank shaft, paying attention to the correct engagement of a new chain with the camshaft drive sprocket. The chain must be constantly engaged with the camshaft sprocket. Rotate the crankshaft before it will be possible to connect the ends of the chain link riveting. Put a link in a chain. Place the plate level in a device for riveting. Attach this device to the link and Rivet him. Remove tool for riveting. Ensure the correctness of the riveting unit. If necessary, repeat the above operations. Verify the purity of the circuit and surrounding components and in the absence of swarf. Screw in the cylinder block of the spark plug. Before installing chain tensioner, disassemble it completely and thoroughly clean all parts. Place chain tensioner. Screw the threaded ring with a spring and screw plug with a new seal. Rotate the crankshaft two revolutions to check the correct operation of the distribution mechanism. Replace the bottom cover gasket camshaft drive, causing at both ends a little sealing paste. Apply a layer of sealant to the mating surface of the top cover of a drive of a camshaft and the cylinder head. Apply engine oil top cover gasket edge. Install the top cover, being careful not to damage the gasket. Tighten the top cover. Install the cylinder head cover and component parts of the distributor of ignition, acting in the reverse order of removal. Connect the coolant hoses. Fill and bleed the cooling system. Install the cooling fan. Install the fan cover guide. Establish the bottom guard of the engine. Attach the wire to the "-" terminal of the battery.
