CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE VALVE LIFT CONTROLLER INSTALLATION

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

PROCEDURE

1. INSTALL CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE VALVE LIFT CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY

   
   

   1. 

      *1	Connector
      *a	Protruding Distance

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

      Tech Tips

      
      

      • When reinstalling the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly, 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 assembly 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.

   2. 

      *1	New O-Ring
      *a	Protrusion

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

      Note

      
      

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

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

   3. 

      Rotate the crankshaft clockwise to retract the valve rocker shaft.

   4. 

      *a	No. 3 Cylinder
      *b	No. 1 Cylinder

      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.

      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.

      Tech Tips

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

   6. 

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

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

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

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

      Torque:

      18 N*m  { 184 kgf*cm, 13 ft.*lbf }

      Note

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

      Tech Tips

      Perform "Inspection After Repairs" after replacing the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly.

   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 2 screwdrivers, 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 assembly.

       Note

       
       

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

       • Do not damage the camshaft housing sub-assembly and camshaft bearing cap.

   12. 

       *1	Continuously Variable Valve Lift Controller Assembly
       *2	Valve Lift Control Actuator Connector
       *3	Valve Lift Control Actuator Connector Clip
       *4	Valve Rocker Shaft
       *5	Straight Pin

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

       Note

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

       Tech Tips

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

   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.
