        *a Retard Side Path
        *b Advance Side Path
        *c Decompress
        *d Hold Pressure

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

        OK
        Gear rotates in the advance direction.

        Tech Tips

        This operation releases the lock pin which holds the timing gear in the most retarded position.

      6. When the camshaft timing gear assembly reaches the most advanced position, release the air pressure from the retard side path and advance side path in that order.

        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.

        • When releasing the air pressure from the advance side path, release it slowly.

    3. Check for smooth rotation.


      1. Rotate the camshaft timing gear assembly within its movable range several times, but do not turn it to the most retarded position. Check that the gear rotates smoothly.

        CAUTION:

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

    4. Check the lock in the most retarded position.


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

      1. Clean the No. 2 camshaft journal with non-residue solvent.

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

        Tech Tips

        There are 4 oil paths in the grooves of the No. 2 camshaft. Plug 2 paths with pieces of rubber.

      3. Break through the tape over the advance side path, and then break through the tape over the retard side path on the opposite side from the hole over the advance side path as shown in the illustration.

      4. A003HXYE01

        *a Retard Side Path
        *b Advance Side Path
        *c Decompress
        *d Hold Pressure

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

        Tech Tips

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

      6. 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.

    3. Check for smooth rotation.


      1. Turn the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly within its movable range (21.5 to 23.5°) 2 or 3 times, but do not turn it to the most advanced position. Make sure that the gear turns smoothly.

        Note

        When the air pressure is released from the advance side path and then from the retard side path, the gear 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.

    4. Check the lock at the most advanced position.


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