setting up vvt 2.4liter
I have an 01 s40 with a 2.4 liter non turbo came into the shop with a request to replace camseals. It has variable valve timing on the intake cam and i do not understand the instructions to set it up. to me they are very vague. we use all data for information, it states
" Press the variable valve timing unit/timing gear pulley onto the camshaft. Install the center screw (1) that holds the variable valve timing unit to the camshaft. Do not tighten yet. Slacken off, but do not remove the screws (2) which secure the timing gear pulley to the variable valve timing unit. Position the upper timing cover.
Turn the timing gear pulley so that the screws at the oval holes are in the limit position. Continue turning clockwise until the timing gear pulley's marking is 1 tooth before the marking on the upper timing cover.
Turn the timing gear pulley to the marking. Check that the markings on the timing gear pulley/intake camshaft and upper timing cover correspond."
I don't understand what the limit position is, is limit full clockwise or full counterclockwise, i cant find any information explaining it. Can someone shed some light on this situation for me? the 3 screws at the oval holes are currently all the way to the right which i would consider the gear to be in the full counterclockwise position in relation to the vvt hub.when staring this procedure it also does not state but i assume you put the gear on the camshaft with the timing mark aligned to the upper timing cover?
