Cylinder Head Reassemble
• Lubricate the exhaust cam lobes and journals with engine oil, and position camshaft in
cylinder head, then lubricate the inlet camshafts and control shaft.
• Position the control shaft into the carrier making sure the shaft is fully seated in its
journals and the centre of the slot in the shaft is aligned with the cylinder head mating
surface of the carrier.
• Carefully position front and rear cams and VVC assemblies into the carrier at the same
time engaging the gear teeth of the control shaft in the VVC assemblies.

• Make sure that the holes in the VVC housings are aligned with the bolt holes in the
carrier, that the centre of slot in control shaft is still aligned with the carrier to cylinder
head mating surfaces, and timing plates 18G 1770/1, (front), and 18G 1770/2, (rear) are
correctly located in the control sleeves, and with the control shaft fully seated in its
journals.
NOTE: If the bolt holes are not aligned or the slot in the control shaft has moved, re-
position VVC assemblies and shaft as necessary until alignment is correct.
• Fit and finger tight slave bolts, (new ‘Patchlock’ bolts will be fitted at final assembly), to
retain both VVC assemblies to the carrier, then remove 18G 1770 clamps, but DO-NOT
remove timing plates at this stage or damage to VVC housing seals will result.
• Apply continuous, thin beads of sealant, (Hylomar 2000), to the paths on the cylinder
head as shown in figure 28, then spread to an even film using a brush or roller.
