PROCEDURE
INSTALL NO. 2 CAMSHAFT BEARING
INSTALL NO. 1 CAMSHAFT BEARING
INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
| *a | Knock Pin Hole |
| *b | Knock Pin |
Align and fit the knock pin of the camshaft to the knock pin hole of the camshaft timing gear assembly.
| *a | Hexagonal Portion |
Using SST, grip the hexagonal portion, and then secure the SST and camshaft in a vise as shown in the illustration and check that the camshaft timing gear assembly does not rotate.
Note
Do not damage the camshaft.
Never grip areas other than the hexagonal portion, as this may cause damage.
| *1 | Camshaft Timing Gear Assembly |
| *2 | Camshaft Flange |
| *a | Incorrect |
| *b | Correct |
| *c | Gap |
| *d | No Gap |
Check that there is no gap between the camshaft timing gear assembly and camshaft flange.
While securely holding the camshaft, install the bolt of the camshaft timing gear assembly by hand.
Note
Do not use any tools to install the bolt. If the bolt is installed using a tool, the lock pin will be damaged.
Check the lock of the camshaft timing gear assembly.
Make sure that the camshaft timing gear assembly is locked.
Note
Be careful not to damage the camshaft.
Release the lock pin.
| *a | Retard Side Path | *b | Advance Side Path |
| *c | Open | *d | Close |
| *e | Rubber Piece | *f | Vinyl Tape |
| *g | Knock Pin | - | - |
Clean the camshaft journal with non-residue solvent.
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 camshaft. Plug 3 of the oil paths with rubber pieces.
Make a hole in the tape over the port (A) shown in the illustration.
While applying approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 29 psi) of air pressure to the oil path, forcibly turn the camshaft timing gear assembly in the advance direction (counterclockwise).
CAUTION:
Cover the oil paths with a piece of cloth when applying air pressure to prevent oil from spraying.
Note
Do not allow the camshaft timing gear assembly to lock. If it locks, release the lock pin again.
Tech Tips
Depending on the air pressure applied, the camshaft timing gear assembly may turn in the advance direction without assistance by hand.
If enough air pressure cannot be applied because of air leakage from the port, releasing the lock pin may be difficult.
Check for smooth rotation.
Turn the camshaft timing gear assembly within its movable range (26.5 to 28.5°) 2 or 3 times, but do not turn it to the most retarded position. Make sure that the camshaft timing gear assembly turns smoothly.
Note
Do not use air pressure to perform the smooth operation check.
Do not allow the camshaft timing gear assembly to lock. If it locks, release the lock pin again.
Remove the vinyl tape and rubber pieces from the camshaft.
Remove the bolt and camshaft timing gear assembly.

Uniformly tighten the 10 bolts in several steps in the order shown in the illustration.
| *1 | No. 1 Camshaft Bearing Cap |
| *2 | No. 2 Camshaft Bearing Cap |
| *3 | No. 3 Camshaft Bearing Cap |
Uniformly tighten the 11 bolts in several steps in the order shown in the illustration.
Check the torque of each bolt again.
INSTALL CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
| *a | Advanced Position |
| *b | Retarded Position |
| *c | Alignment Mark |
| *d | Knock Pin Hole |
Check the camshaft timing gear assembly position.
Note
If the camshaft timing gear assembly is set to the advanced position, do not let the camshaft timing gear assembly rotate clockwise during installation.
If the camshaft timing gear assembly has rotated to the most retarded position, make sure to release the lock pin and set the camshaft timing gear assembly to the most advanced position before tightening the bolt of the camshaft timing gear assembly.
| *a | Narrow |
| *b | Wide |
Install the camshaft timing gear assembly as shown in the illustration.
| *a | Narrow |

| *c | Gap |
| *d | No Gap |
Check that there is no gap between the camshaft timing gear assembly and camshaft flange.
While securely holding the camshaft, install the bolt of the camshaft timing gear assembly by hand.
Note
Do not use any tools to install the bolt. If the bolt is installed using a tool, the lock pin will be damaged.
If the lock pin has not been released, release it.
| *a | Make a hole |
| *b | Adhesive Tape Sealing Area |
After cleaning the intake side VVT oil hole of the No. 1 camshaft bearing cap, completely seal the oil hole with adhesive tape or equivalent as shown in the illustration to prevent air from leaking.
Note
Be sure to seal the oil hole completely because air leaks due to insufficient sealing will prevent the lock pin from being released.
Make a hole in the adhesive tape as shown in the illustration.
Apply approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 29 psi) of air pressure to the open hole to release the lock pin.
Note
If air leaks out, reattach the adhesive tape.
Cover the hole with a piece of cloth when applying air pressure to prevent oil from spraying.
Forcibly turn the camshaft timing gear assembly in the advance direction (counterclockwise).
Tech Tips
Depending on the air pressure applied, the camshaft timing gear assembly may turn in the advance direction without assistance by hand.
If enough air pressure cannot be applied because of air leakage from the port, releasing the lock pin may be difficult.
Remove the adhesive tape from the No. 1 camshaft bearing cap.
Using a wrench, hold the hexagonal portion of the camshaft.
