*a	Paint Mark
*b	Timing Mark
*c	Timing Notch (Groove)
*d	Timing Mark "0°"

Turn the crankshaft pulley until its timing notch (groove) and the timing mark "0" of the timing chain cover sub-assembly are aligned.

Check that both timing marks on the camshaft timing gear assembly and camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly are facing upward as shown in the illustration. If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) to align the timing marks as shown in the illustration.
Place paint marks on the chain sub-assembly in alignment with the timing marks on the camshaft timing gear assembly and camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly.

REMOVE TIMING CHAIN COVER PLATE
1. Remove the 4 bolts, timing chain cover plate and gasket.
REMOVE NO. 1 CHAIN TENSIONER ASSEMBLY
1. Turn the crankshaft pulley approximately 10° clockwise.
2. Turn the crankshaft pulley approximately 10° counterclockwise.
3. *a Pin
  
  *b Stopper Plate
  
  Align the holes of the stopper plate and No. 1 chain tensioner assembly, and insert a pin into the stopper plate hole to lock the No. 1 chain tensioner assembly.
4. Turn the crankshaft pulley approximately 10° clockwise.
5. Remove the 2 bolts, No. 1 chain tensioner assembly and gasket.
  
  Note
  
  Be careful not to drop the gasket inside the timing chain cover sub-assembly.
6. Turn the crankshaft pulley approximately 10° counterclockwise.

REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
1. *a Hold
  
  Turn
  
  Using a wrench to hold the hexagonal portion of the camshaft, remove the bolt from the camshaft.
  
  Note
  
  Be careful not to damage the cylinder head sub-assembly or spark plug tube with the wrench.
2. Separate the camshaft timing gear assembly from the camshaft.
3. *a Narrow
  
  *b Wide
  
  Separate the chain sub-assembly from the camshaft timing gear assembly, and turn the camshaft timing gear assembly approximately 180°.
4. Remove the camshaft timing gear assembly.
  
  Note
  
  Do not disassemble the camshaft timing gear assembly.

REMOVE CAMSHAFT BEARING CAP

Remove the 11 bolts in several steps in the order shown in the illustration.

*1	No. 1 Camshaft Bearing Cap
*2	No. 2 Camshaft Bearing Cap
*3	No. 3 Camshaft Bearing Cap

Remove the 10 bolts in several steps in the order shown in the illustration.

Remove the No. 1 camshaft bearing cap, No. 2 camshaft bearing cap and 3 No. 3 camshaft bearing caps.

Tech Tips

Arrange the removed parts in such a way that they can be reinstalled to their original locations.

REMOVE CAMSHAFT
1. Remove the camshaft from the camshaft housing sub-assembly.
REMOVE NO. 2 CAMSHAFT
1. Hold up the chain sub-assembly and remove the No. 2 camshaft from the camshaft housing sub-assembly.
2. Suspend the chain sub-assembly with a string or equivalent as shown in the illustration.
  
  Note
  
  Be careful not to drop the chain sub-assembly inside the timing chain cover sub-assembly.
REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING EXHAUST GEAR ASSEMBLY
1. *a Hexagonal Portion
  
  Using SST, grip the hexagonal portion, and then secure the SST and No. 2 camshaft in a vise as shown in the illustration.
  
  SST
  
  09212-31010
  Note
  
  Do not damage the No. 2 camshaft.
  
  Never grip areas other than the hexagonal portion, as this may cause damage.
2. Remove the bolt and camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly.
  
  Note
