CAMSHAFT INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL CAMSHAFTS


    1. A0136SSE02

      Turn the crankshaft by approximately 90 degrees in direction of engine revolution from the TDC for No.1 cylinder so that the lifted valve and piston do not contract each other when installing the camshaft assembly.

    2. A013826E01

      Install the camshaft assembly No.1 and No.2.


      1. Apply engine oil to the cam of each camshaft assembly, journals of the cylinder head assembly and top of each valve lifter.

      2. A01369JE01

        Align the matchmarks on the timing chain plates with the timing mark of the camshaft timing sprocket assembly (VVT controller) and the paint mark of the timing chain respectively and install the timing chain.

      3. A0137D2E01

        Install the camshaft assembly No.1 as shown in the illustration.

        Tech Tips

        Make sure that the timing marks of the camshaft timing sprocket and camshaft timing sprocket assembly (VVT controller) face upward.

  2. INSTALL CAMSHAFT BEARING CAP


    1. A0137JDE01

      Place the camshaft bearing caps No.1 and No.2 and tighten the bolts to the specified torque in the order shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      Camshaft bearing cap No.1
      15 N*m  { 153 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }
      Camshaft bearing cap No.2
      12.5 N*m  { 128 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Be sure to install the camshaft bearing caps No.1 and No.2 with the front marks facing engine front.

  3. INSTALL CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR OR SPROCKET


    1. A0136OTE01

      Using SST, tighten the bolts to install the sprocket assembly while holding the hexagonal portion of the camshaft assembly No.1.

      SST
      09249-B1010
      Torque:
      35 N*m  { 356 kgf*cm, 26 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.58 in.).

      Tech Tips

      The reading of the torque wrench should be calculated because the torque wrench must be joined with the SST for use.

    2. A0138I5

      Install the camshaft assembly No.2 with the knock pin aligning with the gear groove.

      Tech Tips

      Make sure that the matchmark of the gear is at the top.

    3. A0138P0E01

      Tighten the bolts to install the sprocket while holding the hexagonal portion of the camshaft assembly No.2.

      SST
      09249-B1010
      Torque:
      35 N*m  { 356 kgf*cm, 26 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.58 in.).

      Tech Tips

      The reading of the torque wrench should be calculated because the torque wrench must be joined with the SST for use.

    4. A0138CIE01

      Align the matchmarks on the timing chain plates with the timing mark of the camshaft timing sprocket and the paint mark of the timing chain respectively and install the timing chain.

    5. Remove SST from the timing chain tensioner sub-assembly.

      Tech Tips

      Before removing, slightly turn the hexagonal portion of the camshaft assembly counterclockwise to leave some slack on the chain of the timing chain tensioner sub-assembly side.

  4. INSTALL TIMING GEAR COVER TIGHT PLUG


    1. A01372T

      Clean the plug and the bolt holes of the timing chain cover assembly and apply adhesive to the threads of the plug.

      Torque:
      15 N*m  { 153 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

  5. INSTALL CYLINDER HEAD COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. A0135Y6E01

      Clean the cylinder head cover, cylinder head assembly and timing chain cover assembly.

    2. Fit the cylinder head cover gasket into the gasket groove on the cover and onto the center bosses.

    3. Apply a continuous bead of seal gasket (diameter: 3 to 4 mm (0.12 to 0.16 in.)) to the contact surface between the cylinder head assembly and timing chain cover assembly as shown in the illustration.

      Seal Packing
