12.65.57 Camshaft Rear Timing Belt - RH Cylinder Head


Remove
1. Disconnect battery earth lead.
2. Remove underbelly panel. Service and Repair
3. Remove RH front road wheel.






4. Remove 3 bolts securing RH splash shield to body and remove shield.
5. Remove RH rear timing belt cover. 12.65.47 Camshaft Timing Belt Cover-RH Rear






6. Rotate crankshaft in a clockwise direction and align the engine "SAFE" position, notch on crankshaft pulley aligned to the "ARROW" on front mounting plate and the timing marks aligned on the rear camshaft gears as illustrated.

Caution: Do not use camshaft gear bolts or timing belt to rotate crankshaft. Never use the arrow on the oil pump body as a timing reference






7. Insert tiiming pin LRT-12-232 through hole in lower crankcase, enusring pin is located in hole in drive plate

Caution: Hole immediately adjacent to side of lower crankcase must be used






8. Remove and discard RH front exhaust camshaft cap seal from cylinder head.






9. Position LRT-12-175 to rear camshaft gears as illustrated, remove and discard bolts securing gears to camshafts.
10. Remove rear camshaft gears, timing belt and special tool as an assembly.

CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft or the camshafts while the timing belt is removed.

11. If camshaft timing belt is to be refitted, mark direction of rotation on timing belt.
12. Remove LRT-12-175 from camshaft gears and remove timing belt from gears.

CAUTION: Timing belts must be stored and handled with care. Always store a belt on its edge with a bend radius greater than 50 mm (2 inches). Do not use a timing belt that has been twisted or bent double as this will damage the reinforcing fibers. Do not use a camashaft timing belt if debris other then belt dust is found on timing belt covers. Do not use a camshaft timing belt if a partial engine seizure has occurred. Do not use a camshaft timing belt if mileage exceeds 72,000 km (45,000 miles). Do not use an oil or coolant contaminated belt, cause of contamination must be rectified

Refit

Note: Following front or rear timing belt refitment, it is possible that after rotating the engine and positioning the crankshaft pully to the "SAFE" position, the timing marks on the rear timing gears may be misaligned. This misalignment is acceptable provided that the timing belt refiting procedure was carried out correctly

1. Clean camshaft gears and mating faces on camshafts.

Caution: if the sintered gears have been subjected to prolonged oil contamination, they must be soaked in solvent bath and then thoroughtly washed in clean solvent before refitting. Because of it porous construction of sintered material, oil impregnated in the gears will emerge and comtaminated the belt.





2. Place gears inverted on a flat surface, with the locating lugs on the gears positioned as illustrated.






3. Keeping the timing marks aligned, position timing belt onto gears.






4. Position LRT-12-195 between the gears, turn center nut sufficiently to spread drive belt.
5. Invert gears and timing belt and position LRT-12-175 to camshaft gears,
6. Check that the locating lugs are still aligned and remove LRT-12-195 from between camshaft gears.






7. Fit LRT-12-198 alignment pins into the end of each camshaft.
8. Position timing belt and gears over LRT-12-198 and locate gears onto camshafts.






9. Position LRT-12-197 into the front end of the RH exhaust camshaft.
10. With assistance, using a 30mm socket on LRT12-197, turn the RH exhaust camshaft sufficiently to align camshaft gears to the drive slots in each camshaft.






11. Remove LRT-12-198 alignment pins and fit new camshaft gear retaining bolts.
12. Tighten camshaft gear bolts to:
Stage 1 - 27 Nm (20 ft lbs)
Stage 2 - Further 90°.

13.5 Remove LRT-12-175 from camshaft gears.
14. Remove LRT-12-197 from front end of exhaust camshaft.
15. Clean RH exhaust camshaft cap seal recess and fit new cap seal.
16. Remove timing pin LRT-12-232 from lower crankcase
17. Fit splash shield and secure with bolts.
18. Fit RH road wheel and tighten nuts
19. Fit RH rear timing belt cover. 12.65.47 Camshaft Timing Belt Cover-RH Rear
20. Fit underbelly panel. Service and Repair
21. Connect battery earth lead.
