P(5) Thread the timing belt over the intake side camshaft
sprocket and fix it an indicated position by a clip.
(6) Thread the timing belt over the exhaust side sprocket,
aligning the timing marks with the cylinder head top
surface using two wrenches.
(7) Fix the belt at indicated position by a clip.
(8) Thread the timing belt over the idler pulley, the oil pumpsprocket, the crankshaft sprocket and the tension
pulley in the order shown.
(9) Remove the two clips.
(1O)Lift up the tensioner pulley in the direction of arrow andtighten the center bolt.
(11)Check to see that all timing marks are lined up.
(12)Remove the screwdriver inserted in step (4) and fit the

(1) After turning the crankshaft
l/4 turn counterclockwise,.5;;turn it clockwise to move the No. 1 cylinder to top dead
center.(2) Loosen the center bolt, and then, as shown in the
illustration, attach the special tool and a torque wrench
and apply a torque of 2.6-2.8 Nm
(1.88-2.03 ft.lbs.).If the body interferes with the special tool and the
torque wrench, use a jack to slightly raise the engine
assembly.
NOTEUse a torque wrench that is capable of measurement
within a range of
O-3 Nm (O-2.2 ft.lbs.).(3) Holding the tensioner pulley with the special tool and
torque wrench, tighten the center bolt to specification.
(4) Screw the special tool into the engine left support
bracket until its end makes contact with the tensioner
arm. At that point, screw the special tool in some more
and then remove the set wire attached to the auto
tensioner.(5) Remove the special tool.
(6) Rotate the crankshaft two complete turns clockwise
and leave it as is for about 15 minutes. Then, measure
the auto tensioner protrusion “A” (distance between
the tensioner arm and auto tensioner body) to ensure,.+
that it is up to specification.
Standard value:
3.8-4.5 mm (.15-.18 in.)
If it is out of specification, repeat steps (6) through (1)
until the specified value is obtained.
(7) If the clearance between the tensioner arm and the
auto tensioner body cannot be measured (when the
engine is being mounted, etc.), the following proce-
dures can be used to substitute for the ordinan/ methodof measurement.
@ Screw in the special tool until it contacts the
tensioner arm.
@ From that point of contact, further screw in the
special tool, screwing it in until the push rod of the
auto tensioner body is caused to move backward
and the tensioner arm contacts the auto tensioner
body.Check to be sure that the amount that the special
tool has been screwed in (when the push rod
moves backward) is the standard value.
Standard value: 2.5-3 turns

INSPECTIONCAMSHAFT
h(1) Visually check the camshaft journal surfaces and replace if
_damage or seizure is evident.
If the journal is seized, check the cylinder head for possibledamage. Check also for clogged oil holes in the cylinder
head.
(2) Check cams for excessive wear and damage and replace if
defects are evident. Measure the cam height and replace ifthe limit is not reached.
Standard value:
Intake

ROCKER ARM
(1) Visually check the roller and replace if dent, damage, or
seizure is evident.
(2) Check the roller for smooth rotation. Replace if it binds or
there is an excessive play.
(3) Check the valve contact surface for possible damage or
seizure and replace as necessary.
SERVICE POINTS OF REASSEMBLYNOSLGAB10. INSTALLATION OF CAMSHAFT
(1) Apply engine oil to journals and cams of the camshafts.
(2) Install the camshafts on the cylinder head.
Use care not to confuse the intake camshaft with the
exhaust one. The intake camshaft has a slit on its rear
end for driving the crank angle sensor.
(3) Make also sure that the dowel pins on the camshaft
sprocket end are located on the top.
9./8./7./6./4./3. INSTALLATION OF BEARING CAPS
(1) Bearing cap Nos.2 to 5 are of the same shape. At
installation, check with the markings on the caps of capnumber and intake/exhaust identification symbol. Only
“I” or “E” is stamped on No. 1 bearing cap.4I

1(2) Tighten the bearing caps in the order shown two to
three times by torquing progressively.
Tighten to specification in the final sequence.
(3) Check to be sure that the rocker arm is correctly placedon the lash adjuster and valve stem end.
5. INSTALLATION OF CAMSHAFT OIL SEAL
(1) Install the special tool, Guide, on the camshaft.
(2) Apply oil to the oil seal and insert the seal along the
Guide until it contacts the cylinder head.
(3) Using the special tool, Installer, press-fit the oil seal intothe cylinder head.
2. INSTALLATION OF CAMSHAFT SPROCKET
Using a wrench hold the camshaft at its hexagon (betweenthe
No.2 and No.3 journals) and tighten the bolt to
specification.Caution
Locking the camshaft sprocket with a tool damages the
sprocket.1. INSTALLATION OF CRANK ANGLE SENSOR
(1) Locate the dowel pin on the sprocket side of the intake
camshaft at top.
(2) Align the punch mark on the crank angle sensor housingwith the notch in plate.
NOTE
The crank angle sensor can be installed even when thepunch mark is positioned opposite the notch; however,
the position results in incorrect fuel injection and
ignition timings.
(3) Install the crank angle sensor on the cylinder head.
