ROTATE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT
Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley spacer and crankshaft pulley.
| *a | Crankshaft Pulley Pin Hole |
| *b | Alignment Mark |
| *c | Crankshaft Timing Gear Key |
Using SST, turn the crankshaft about 200 degrees counterclockwise until the crankshaft pulley pin hole is aligned at the position shown in the illustration.
Note
Do not turn the crankshaft counterclockwise except for a slight adjustment to correctly align the alignment mark. If not, the valves may come into contact with the piston.
Tech Tips
At this time, the alignment mark on the crankshaft timing gear or sprocket and the crankshaft timing gear key are at the positions shown in the illustration.
Remove the crankshaft pulley and crankshaft pulley spacer.
| *a | Alignment Mark |
Using SST, turn the camshaft timing intake gear assembly LH approximately 180°clockwise, and align the alignment mark on the camshaft timing intake gear assembly LH to the position (zero-lift position) shown in the illustration.
Note
After this work, when the intake valve and exhaust valve lift at the same time, the valve heads contact each other, causing the valve stems to bend. To avoid this, do not turn the intake camshaft LH and the exhaust camshaft LH more than the zero-lift range (the range where the camshafts can be turned lightly by hand).
REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING INTAKE GEAR ASSEMBLY RH
Using SST, hold the camshaft timing intake gear assembly RH and remove the 3 bolts with a "TORX" socket wrench E16.
Remove the camshaft timing intake gear assembly RH.
REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING EXHAUST GEAR ASSEMBLY RH
Using SST, hold the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly RH and remove the 3 bolts with a "TORX" socket wrench E16.
Remove the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly RH.
REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING INTAKE GEAR ASSEMBLY LH
Using SST, hold the camshaft timing intake gear assembly LH and remove the 3 bolts with a "TORX" socket wrench E16.
Remove the camshaft timing intake gear assembly LH.
REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING EXHAUST GEAR ASSEMBLY LH
Using SST, hold the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly LH and remove the 3 bolts with a "TORX" socket wrench E16.
Remove the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly LH.
