Vvti camsetup

[michel lane]

I recently change the cam belt on my single and noticed that i had a little oil coming from the VVTi cam gear on the pully wheel. so i proceed to take the cover of the unit, removing all 5 bolts . I pulled the VVTi cam cover off and viewed the gears within the casing . unfortunately i lost the position of the outer camgear timing .

 

So my question is this , do i align the internal gear with the external marker (line) of the outer cam gear . This causes the second gear with a (line marker) to be out of alignment .

 

Or do i align the second gear with the outer pully marker ? Hope this makes sense.

 

I have a conclusion that it is the inner gear marker to the external pully marker (line) as i noticed the spare hole shows through slit on the cover plate.

 

The inner seal went brittle, so i replaced the seal, this should sort out my slight oil leak from the casing .

I'm not 100% sure on this one but if you remove the 5 bolts from the pulley toyota call for a new one as it upsets the function of the pulley. That's according to the latest workshop manual

Its only the cover that i have removed and not the gears themselves. I see the point on the gears, as there are many seals, but still if the gears are fine and seals worn, why change the lot ?

Ah right may of misread! My apologies, I've had a few to drink. Again according to the manual it should be lined up with the marker itself!

Any chance you can scan and upload the section for replacing the cambelt on the vvti?
