(c) Disconnect the engine wire protector from the 2 mounting
bolts of the No. 2 timing belt cover in the sequence shown.
(d) Remove the 4 nuts, grommets, head cover and gasket.
HINT:
Arrange the grommets in the correct order, so that they can be
reinstalled into their original positions. This minimizes any pos-
sibility of oil leakage due to reuse of the grommets in different
positions.
27. DISCONNECT ENGINE WIRE
(a) Remove the 2 bolts, and disconnect the engine wire pro-
tector from the LH side of the intake manifold.
(b) Disconnect the 4 injector connectors.
(c) w/ A/C:
Disconnect the A/C compressor connector.
(d) Disconnect the crankshaft position sensor connector.
(e) Disconnect the 3 clamps from the No. 2 timing bet cover
and generator drive belt adjusting bar.
(f) Disconnect the engine wire protector from the 2 brackets
on the front side of the intake manifold.
(g) Remove the RH scuff plate, RH cowl side trim and RH
floor carpet center cover.
(h) Disconnect the 2 ECM connectors.
(i) Disconnect the 2 connectors from the connectors on the
bracket.
(j) Disconnect the Connector from the J/B No. 4.
(k) Disconnect the wire clamp from the bracket.
(l) Pull out the engine wire from the cabin.
(m) Take out the engine wire between the cylinder head and
intake manifold.
28. DISCONNECT TIMING BELT FROM CAMSHAFT TIM-
ING PULLEY (See page EM−15)

31. REMOVE NO. 3 TIMING BELT COVER
Remove the 3 bolts and timing belt cover.
NOTICE:
Support the timing belt, so the meshing of the crank-
shaft timing pulley and timing belt does not shift..
Be careful not to drop anything inside the timing belt
cover
Do not allow the belt to come into contact with oil, wa-
ter or dust.
32. REMOVE CAMSHAFTS
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be kept level while it is being removed. If the
camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the cylinder head
receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, caus-
ing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the follow-
ing steps should be carried out.
(a) Remove the exhaust camshaft.
(1) Set the knock pin of the intake camshaft at 10 − 45°
BTDC of camshaft angle.
HINT:
The above angle allows No. 2 and No. 4 cylinder cam lobes of
the exhaust camshaft to push their valve lifters evenly.
(2) Secure the exhaust camshaft sub gear to drive gear
with a service bolt.
Recommended service bolt:
Thread diameter6 mm
Thread pitch1.0 mm
Bolt length16 − 20 mm (0.63 − 0.79 in.)

(6) Install the bearing caps in their proper locations.
(7) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and
under the heads of the bearing cap bolts.
(8) Install and uniformly tighten the 10 bearing cap
bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
Torque: 19 N·m (190 kgf·cm, 14 ft·lbf)
(b) Install the exhaust camshaft.
(1) Set the knock pin of the intake camshaft at 10 − 45°
BTDC of camshaft angle.
HINT:
The above angle allows the No. 2 and No. 4 cylinder cam lobes
of the exhaust camshaft to push their valve lifters evenly.
(2) Apply MP grease to the thrust portion of the cam-
shaft.
(3) Engage the exhaust camshaft gear to the intake
camshaft gear by matching the timing marks on
each gear.
(4) Roll down the exhaust camshaft onto the bearing
journals while engaging gears with each other.
NOTICE:
There are also assembly reference marks on each gear as
shown in the illustration. Do not use these marks.
(5) Turn the intake camshaft clockwise or counterclock-
wise a little until the exhaust camshaft sits in the
bearing journals evenly without rocking the cam-
shaft on the bearing journals.
NOTICE:
It is very important to replace the camshaft in the bearing
journals evenly while tightening bearing caps in the subse-
quent steps.
