3. Using the EN-51717-2 - compressor (4), push down the valve spring retainer (1) and compress the valve spring (3) until the valve keys (2) can be inserted. Carefully insert the valve keys then, so that they are proper installed to the valve stem grooves.

4. Carefully release the tension from the EN-50717-2 - compressor.

5. Inspect the valve keys and valve spring retainer for proper seat.

6. Repeat the procedure with the remaining valves and cylinders. Transfer the EN-50717-1 - stands and the EN-51717-2 - compressor as needed.

7. Take care that air pressure is always applied to the combustion chamber of the treated cylinder.

Installation Procedure




1. Set the crankshaft in direction of engine rotation to 60 degrees (a) before TDC. Use the EN-45059 - meter and the crankshaft balancer bolt.

2. Install the valve lifter. Refer to Valve Lifter Replacement Service and Repair.

3. Install both camshafts. Refer to Camshaft Replacement Camshaft Replacement.

4. Install the camshaft position actuator. Refer to Camshaft Sprocket Replacement Service and Repair.
