Kia Sorento: CVVT & Camshaft Inspection
Continuously variable valve timing (CVVT) Assembly
|
1. |
Inspect the CVVT for smooth rotation.
|
(1) |
Clamp the camshaft using a vise. Be careful not to damage the
cam lobes and journals in the vise.
|
|
(2) |
Check that the CVVT is locked by turning it clockwise or counterclockwise.
It must not rotate.
|
|
(3) |
Intake CVVT : Seal one of the two advance holes in the camshaft
journal with tape.
Exhaust CVVT : Seal one of the two retard holes in the camshaft
journal with tape.

[Exhaust]
|
|
(4) |
Intake CVVT : Apply approx. 150 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm², 21 psi ) of
compressed air into the unsealed advance hole to release the
lock.
Exhaust CVVT : Apply approx. 150 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm², 21 psi )
of compressed air into the unsealed retard hole to release the
lock.
|
Cover the oil paths with a piece of cloth when applying
compressed air to prevent oil from spraying.
|
|
|
(5) |
Intake CVVT : With compressed air applied, rotate the CVVT into
the advance direction (counterclockwise) within its phasing
range and check that the CVVT turns smoothly.
Exhaust CVVT : With compressed air applied, rotate the CVVT
into the retard direction (clockwise) and check that the CVVT
turns smoothly.
CVVT phasing range
Intake : 22.5°±1° (from the most retarded position to
the most advanced position)
Exhaust : 20°±1° (from the most advanced position to
the most retarded position)
|
|
|
(6) |
Intake CVVT : Rotate the CVVT into the most retarded position
(clockwise) and then check that the CVVT is locked.
Exhaust CVVT : Rotate the CVVT into the most advanced position
(counterclockwise) and then check that the CVVT is locked.

|
Camshaft
|
1. |
Inspect the cam lobes.
Using a micrometer, measure the cam lobe height.
Cam height
[Standard value]
Intake : 44.10 ~ 44.30 mm (1.7362 ~ 1.7440 in.)
Exhaust : 44.90 ~ 45.10 mm (1.7677 ~ 1.7756 in.)
|
If the cam lobe height is less than standard, replace the camshaft.
|
|
2. |
Inspect the camshaft journal clearance.
|
(1) |
Clean the bearing caps and camshaft journals.
|
|
(2) |
Place the camshafts on the cylinder head.
|
|
(3) |
Lay a strip of plastigage across each of the camshaft journal.
|
|
(4) |
Install the bearing caps.
|
Do not turn the camshaft.
|
|
|
(5) |
Remove the bearing caps.
|
|
(6) |
Measure the plastigage at its widest point.
Bearing oil clearance
[Standard value]
Intake :
No.1 : 0.022 ~ 0.057 mm (0.00087 ~ 0.00224 in.)
No.2, 3, 4, 5 : 0.045 ~ 0.082 mm (0.00177 ~ 0.00323
in.)
Exhaust:
No.1 : 0 ~ 0.032 mm (0 ~ 0.00126 in.)
No.2, 3, 4, 5 : 0.045 ~ 0.082 mm (0.00177 ~ 0.00323
in.)
[Limit]
Intake:
No.1 : 0.090 mm (0.00354 in.)
No.2, 3, 4, 5 : 0.120 mm (0.00472 in.)
Exhaust :
No.1 : 0.090 mm (0.00354 in.)
No.2, 3, 4, 5 : 0.120 mm (0.00472 in.)
|
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the camshaft.
If necessary, replace cylinder head.
|
|
(7) |
Completely remove the plastigage.
|
|
(8) |
Remove the camshafts.
|
|
|
3. |
Inspect the camshaft end play.
|
(1) |
Install the camshafts.
|
|
(2) |
Using a dial indicator, measure the end play while moving the
camshaft back and forth.
Camshaft end play
[Standard value] : 0.04 ~ 0.16 mm (0.0016 ~ 0.0063 in.)
[Limit] : 0.20 mm (0.0078 in.)
|
If the end play is greater than maximum, replace the camshaft.
If necessary, replace cylinder head.
|
|
(3) |
Remove the camshafts.
|
|
