Installation [06/2015 - ]: Procedure

  1. INSTALL CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE VALVE LIFT CONTROLLER ASSEMBLY 

    HINT: 

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

    Refer to INITIALIZATION [06/2015 - ]

    1. Measure the protrusion length of the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly.

      *1 Valve Lift Control Actuator Connector
      *a Protrusion Length

      Standard Protrusion Length

      34.57 to 34.73 mm (1.36 to 1.37 in.)

      HINT: 

      • 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 protrusion length is 34.57 to 34.73 mm (1.36 to 1.37 in.).
      • If the protrusion length 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 protrusion length to the specified value.

        Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [06/2015 - ] 

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

      *1 O-ring
      *a Protrusion
      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 assembly.

      NOTE:

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

      HINT: 

      A new continuously variable valve lift controller assembly is supplied with the valve lift control actuator connector installed. Make sure to remove the valve lift control actuator connector before installation.

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

    7. Insert the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly to the camshaft housing sub-assembly.
    8. Install the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly to the camshaft housing sub-assembly with the bolt.

      Torque: 18 N*m (184 kgf*cm, 13 ft.*lbf) 

      NOTE:
      • Make sure the O-ring is not caught between the parts.
      • If the continuously variable valve lift controller assembly has been struck or dropped, replace it.
    9. Install the wire harness clamp bracket to the camshaft housing sub-assembly with the 2 nuts.

      Torque: 18 N*m (184 kgf*cm, 13 ft.*lbf) 

    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 will fall 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 assembly.

      *2 Valve Lift Control Actuator Connector
      *3 Valve Lift Control Actuator Connector Clip
      *4 Valve Rocker Shaft Assembly
      *5 Straight Pin
      NOTE:

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

      HINT: 

      If the straight pin is difficult to insert, insert the straight 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 to the hole in the valve lift control actuator connector.
