• The mating surface of magnet retarder (2) may be fitted with

the exhaust side camshaft sprocket via the engine oil. Open
valve timing control cover (1) carefully

• If the mating surface of magnet retarder is fitted with the cam-

shaft sprocket, open the cover within the range that the load is
not applied to the harness. And then, remove it so as to pre-
vent magnet retarder from dropping.

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to damage magnet retarder.
• When carrying valve timing control cover, face the mag-
