1.Use the following special tools to hold the camshaft sprocket. Front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767) Pin (MD998719) 2.Loosen the camshaft sprocket mounting bolt and remove the camshaft sprocket.

Use special tool valve spring compressor (MD998772) to compress the valve spring and then remove the valve spring retainer lock.

2. caution Do not re-use the valve stem seal. Special tool valve stem seal installer (MB991999) must be used to install the valve stem seal. Improper installation could result in oil leaking past the valve guide. Use the special tool to fill a new valve stem seal in the valve guide using the valve stem area as a guide.

Install the valve springs with its identification colour painted end facing the locker arm.

Use special tool valve spring compressor (MD998772) to compress the valve spring and then install the valve spring retainer lock in the same manner as removal.

Set the dowel pin of the camshaft in the position shown in the figure.

1.Place the inlet rocker shaft so that its 5.5 mm hole faces toward the cylinder head. 2.Install the inlet rocker arm shaft caps. 3.Tighten the inlet rocker shaft mounting bolts to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 31 ± 3 N·m

1.Install the exhaust rocker shaft so that its notch is positioned as shown. 2.Install the exhaust rocker arm shaft caps. 3.Tighten the exhaust rocker shaft mounting bolts to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 13 ± 1 N·m

1.Apply engine oil to the entire inner diameter of the oil seal lip. 2.Use special tool camshaft oil seal installer (MD998713) to press-fit the oil seal as shown.

1.Use the following special tool as during removal to hold the camshaft sprocket. Front hub and flange yoke holder (MB990767) Pin (MD998719) 2.Tighten the camshaft sprocket mounting bolt to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 89 ± 9 N·m

2.Apply the sealant to the camshaft position sensor support flange in a continuous bead as shown in the illustration. Specified sealant: MITSUBISHI GENUINE PART MD970389 or equivalent note Install the camshaft position sensor support within 15 minutes after applying the sealant. 3.Install the camshaft position sensor support to the cylinder head. 4. caution Wait at least one hour. Never start the engine or let engine oil or coolant touch the adhesion surface during that time. Tighten the camshaft position sensor support mounting bolts to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 14 ± 1 N·m

1. caution Never re-use the O-ring. Before installing O-ring, wind the tape with the soft adhesion (sealing tape) around the oil passages cut-out area of engine oil control valve to prevent the damage. If the O-ring is damaged, it can be the cause of oil leak. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the O-ring and then install it to the oil control valve. 2.Assemble the oil control valve to the cylinder head. 3.Tighten the oil control valve mounting bolt to the specified torque. Tightening torque: 11 ± 1 N·m

1.Engage the engine cover claws in the engine cover bracket. 2.Finger-tighten the engine cover mounting bolts in the order shown in the figure so that the engine cover can be moved by hand. 3.Tighten the engine cover mounting bolts to the specified torque in the order shown. Tightening torque: 3.0 ± 0.5 N·m
