  32. INSPECT VALVE TIMING


    1. Check the camshaft timing marks.

      Note


      • Check each timing mark from a viewpoint directly inline with the center of the camshaft and the timing mark on each camshaft timing gear.

      • If the timing marks are checked from any other viewpoint, the valve timing may appear misaligned.

    2. Check that each camshaft timing mark is positioned as shown in the illustration.

      *a Viewpoint - -

      Tech Tips

      For the intake camshaft:

      Be sure to check mark A at the point when marks B, C, and D are positioned in line. If the marks are checked from any other viewpoint, they cannot be checked correctly.
