Kia Carnival (2009+). Manual — part 192

Ensure the LH/RH classification of the cylinder head gasket when installing.

2. Tighten the cylinder head bolts with the plain washers in several steps as following order.

• In assembling washers, the marked surface should face upward.
• In installing the cylinder head bolts, apply engine oil on the thread of the bolts and the surface of the

washers.

Always use new cylinder head bolts.

Tightening torque
22.6~26.5Nm (2.3~2.7kgf.m, 16.6~19.5lb-ft) + 58~62° + 43~47°

Using the SST(09221-4A000), tighten the bolts which need to be tightened with the angular tightening method.

3. Install the CVVT assembly and camshaft chain sprocket with the dowel pin in the CVVT installed to the intake

camshaft. Ensure that the pin will not be installed in the hole for oil feeding.

Tightening torque
66.7~78.5Nm(6.8~8.0kgf.m, 49.2~57.9lb-ft)

After tightening the CVVT bolts, rotate the CVVT assembly housing counterclockwise by hand to seat the lock
pin in the CVVT assembly in good position.

Fix the hexagonal part of the camshaft in a vice when tightening the CVVT bolts. Do not fix the CVVT housing
or sprocket in a vice.

4. Install the camshaft in the cylinder head assembly.

(1) Align the timing marks of the intake and exhaust camshaft chain sprockets and the timing chain.

Both timing marks should face upward for reassembly.

(2) Install the intake and exhaust camshafts on the cylinder head with the timing marks aligned.

LH camshaft chain timing mark

RH camshaft chain timing mark

5. Install the timing chain tensioner.

(1) Insert the set pin by pressing the timing chain tensioner.

(2) Install the chain tensioner(A) in the cylinder head assembly.

6. Install the camshaft bearing caps.

Tightening torque
Bearing cap bolt(A: 6!38) - 10.8~12.7Nm(1.1~1.3kgf.m, 8.0~9.4lb-ft)
Bearing cap bolt(B: 8!38) - 20.6~22.5Nm(2.1~2.6kgf.m, 15.2~18.8lb-ft)

When installing the bearing caps, check the marks on them as shown below and install them in its proper
position.

A(LH/RH HEAD): L(LH), R(RH)
B(Intake/Exhaust): I(Intake), E(Exhaust)
C(Cap no.): 1,2,3
Tightening torque
Bearing cap bolt(A: 6!38) - 10.8~12.7Nm(1.1~1.3kgf.m, 8.0~9.4lb-ft)
Bearing cap bolt(B: 8!38) - 20.6~22.5Nm(2.1~2.6kgf.m, 15.2~18.8lb-ft)

When installing the bearing caps, turn the crankshaft to place a piston in the middle of the block because
linterference between valves and pistons can occur.

7. Using the SST(09214-21000), install the camshaft oil seal.

• Befor installing, apply engine oil.
• The camshaft cap surface should adhere to the cylinder head assembly.
• Do not press an eccentric load.

8. Install the camshaft sprocket.

(1) Hold the hexagonal head wrench portion of the camshaft with a vise, and install the bolt.

Tightening torque
88.3 ~ 107.9Nm (9.0 ~ 11.0kgf.m, 65.1 ~ 79.6lb-ft)
