CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE VALVE LIFT CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE VALVE LIFT CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY

   1. 

      Measure the protruding distance of the continuously variable valve lift controller.

      Table 1. Text in Illustration

      *1	Connector
      *2	Protruding Distance

      Tip:

      • When reinstalling the continuously variable valve lift controller, perform the measurement after the valve lift control actuator connector is installed.

      • It is not necessary to perform this measurement when installing a new continuously variable valve lift controller as the protruding distance is 34.57 to 34.73 mm (1.36 to 1.37 in.).

        Standard protruding distance

        34.57 to 34.73 mm (1.36 to 1.37 in.)

        If the protruding distance of the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly is not 34.57 to 34.73 mm (1.36 to 1.37 in.), perform the Active Test and adjust the protruding distance to the specified value (Click here).

   2. 

      Install a new O-ring to the continuously variable valve lift controller.

      Table 2. Text in Illustration

      *1	Protrusion
      *2	New O-Ring

      Note:

      • Align the protrusion of the O-ring with the protrusion of the continuously variable valve lift controller.

      • Make sure that the O-ring is not protruding from the groove in the continuously variable valve lift controller.

   3. 

      Rotate the crankshaft clockwise to retract the valve rocker shaft.

   4. 

      Rotate the crankshaft clockwise again until the intake camshaft position at the No. 1 cylinder and No. 3 cylinder is as shown in the illustration.

   5. 

      Install the valve lift control actuator connector clip to the valve lift control actuator connector.

      Tip:

      When the continuously variable valve lift controller is new, a valve lift control actuator connector is attached to it. Remove the valve lift control actuator connector before performing these procedures.

      Note:

      Be sure to insert the protrusions of the valve lift control actuator connector clip into the holes in the valve lift control actuator connector.

   6. 

      Install the valve lift control actuator connector to the valve rocker shaft.

      Tip:

      There are two types of valve lift control actuator connectors. One type is installed by rotating the connector, and the other type can be installed without being rotated.

   7. Insert the continuously variable valve lift controller into the camshaft housing.

   8. Place the wire harness clamp bracket onto the stud bolts.

   9. 

      Install the continuously variable valve lift controller to the camshaft housing with the bolt and 2 nuts.

      Note:

      Make sure the O-ring is not caught between the parts.

      Tip:

      Perform "Inspection After Repairs" after replacing the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly (Click here).

   10. 

       Using a screwdriver, slide the valve lift control actuator connector clip from the valve lift control actuator connector.

       Note:

       Slide only the upper part of the valve lift control actuator connector clip as the straight pin falls out from the bottom if the valve lift control actuator connector clip is completely removed.

   11. Using a screwdriver, lightly pry the valve lift control actuator connector and align the hole in the valve lift control actuator connector with the hole in the continuously variable valve lift controller.

       

       Table 3. Text in Illustration

       *1	Straight Pin
       *2	Controller Shaft
       *3	Rocker Shaft
       *4	Clip
       *5	Connector

       Note:

       • Do not forcefully pry the valve lift control actuator connector.

       • Do not damage the camshaft housing or camshaft bearing cap.

   12. 

       Insert the straight pin into the valve lift control actuator connector.

       Tip:

       If the straight pin is difficult to insert, insert the pin while lightly prying the valve lift control actuator connector.

       Note:

       Do not use a tool to insert the straight pin. Insert the straight pin by hand.

   13. 

       Using a screwdriver, install the valve lift control actuator connector clip to the valve lift control actuator connector.

       Note:

       Insert the protrusion of the valve lift control actuator connector clip into the hole in the valve lift control actuator connector.
