      Put the camshaft timing gear assembly and camshaft together by aligning the key groove and straight pin.

    3. Lightly press and turn the camshaft timing gear assembly against the camshaft, and press harder after the pin enters the groove.

      Note:

      Be sure not to turn the camshaft timing gear assembly in the retard direction.

    4. Check that there is no clearance between the camshaft timing gear assembly's flange and the camshaft.

    5. A017GBO

      Tighten the flange bolt with the camshaft timing gear assembly fixed.

      100 N*m 1,020 kgf*cm 74 ft.*lbf

    6. Check the lock of the camshaft timing gear assembly.


      1. Clamp the camshaft in a vise, and confirm that the camshaft timing gear assembly locks.

        Note:

        Be careful not to damage the camshaft.

    7. A017CPWE06

      Release the lock pin.


      1. Cover the 4 oil paths of the cam journal with vinyl tape as shown in the illustration.

        Tip:

        The 2 advance side paths are located in the camshaft grove. Plug one of the paths with a rubber piece.

      2. Break through the tape on the advance side path and the retard side path on the opposite side of the hole of the advance side path, as shown in the illustration.

      3. A017DKKE06

        Apply approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 28 psi) of air pressure to the 2 opened paths.

        CAUTION:

        Cover the paths with a piece of cloth when applying pressure to prevent oil from spraying.

      4. A017CFZE05

        Check that the camshaft timing gear assembly revolves in the advance direction when reducing the air pressure applied to the retard side path.

        Tip:

        This operation releases the lock pin at the most retarded position.

      5. When the camshaft timing gear assembly reaches the most advanced position, release the air pressure first from the retard side path and then from advance side path.

        Note:

        Do not release the air pressure from the advance side path first. The gear may abruptly shift in the retard direction and break the lock pin.

    8. Check for smooth rotation.


      1. Turn the camshaft timing gear assembly within its movable range (21°) 2 or 3 times, but do not turn it to the most retarded position. Make sure that the gear turns smoothly.

        Note:

        Do not use air pressure to perform the smooth operation check.

    9. Check the lock in the most retarded position.


      1. Confirm that the camshaft timing gear assembly locks at the most retarded position.

    10. A017F5AE04

      Remove the flange bolt and camshaft timing gear assembly.

      Note:

      • Do not remove the other 3 bolts.

      • If planning to reuse the camshaft timing gear, be sure to release the straight pin lock before installing the camshaft timing gear.

    INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING EXHAUST GEAR ASSEMBLY


    1. Clamp the camshaft in a vise.

      Note:

      Be careful not to damage the camshaft in the vise.

    2. A017DANE02

      Put the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly and camshaft together by aligning the key groove and straight pin.

    3. Lightly press and turn the camshaft timing gear against the camshaft, and press harder after the pin enters the groove.

      Note:

      Be sure not to turn the camshaft timing exhaust gear in the retard direction.

    4. Check that there is no clearance between the gear's flange and the camshaft.

    5. A017FF7

      Tighten the flange bolt with the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly fixed.

      100 N*m 1020 kgf*cm 74 ft.*lbf

    6. Check the camshaft timing exhaust gear lock.


      1. Make sure that the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly locks.

    7. A017DXBE05

      Release the lock pin.


      1. Cover the 4 oil paths of the cam journal with vinyl tape as shown in the illustration.

        Tip:

        The 2 advance side paths are located in the camshaft grove. Plug one of the paths with a rubber piece.

      2. Break through the tape on the advance side path and the retard side path on the opposite side of the hole of the advance side path, as shown in the illustration.

      3. A017EEDE02

        Apply approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 28 psi) of air pressure to the 2 opened paths (the advance side path and the retard side path).

        CAUTION:

        Cover the paths with a piece of cloth when applying pressure to prevent oil from spraying.

      4. A017EFGE03

        Make sure that the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly rotates in the retard direction when reducing the air pressure applied to the advance side path.

        Tip:

        The lock pin is released and the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly turns in the retard direction.

      5. When the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly moves to the most retarded position, release the air pressure from the advance side path, and then release the air pressure from the retard side path.

        Note:

        Be sure to release the air pressure from the advance side path first. If the air pressure of the retard side path is released first, the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly may abruptly shift in the advance direction and break the lock pin or other parts.

    8. Check for smooth rotation.


      1. Turn the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly within its movable range (18.5°) 2 or 3 times, but do not turn it to the most advanced position. Make sure that the gear assembly turns smoothly.

        Note:

        When the air pressure is released from the advance side path and then from the retard side path, the gear assembly automatically returns to the most advanced position due to the advance assist spring operation and locks. Gradually release the air pressure from the retard side path before performing the smooth rotation check.

    9. Check the lock at the most advanced position.


      1. Make sure that the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly locks at the most advanced position.

    10. A017FOAE03

      Remove the flange bolt and camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly.

      Note:

      • Be sure not to remove the other 4 bolts.

      • If planning to reuse the gear, be sure to release the straight pin lock before installing the gear.
