1) Camshaft installation
Apply engine oil to cylinder head at camshaft bear-
ing location before installing camshaft. Install cam-
shaft so that rocker arm is close to or in contact
with ªbase circleº of cam lobe.
CAUTION:
IWhen camshafts are positioned as shown in
figure, camshafts need to be rotated at a mini-
mum to align with timing belt during installa-
tion.
IRight-hand camshaft need not be rotated
when set at position shown in figure.
Left-hand intake camshaft: Rotate 80É clock-
wise.
Left-hand exhaust camshaft: Rotate 45É
counter-clockwise.
B2M1200A
2) Camshaft cap installation
(1) Apply fluid packing sparingly to cap mating
surface.
CAUTION:
Do not apply fluid packing excessively. Failure
to do so may cause excess packing to come
out and flow toward oil seal, resulting in oil
leaks.
Fluid packing:
THREE BOND 1215 or equivalent
G2M0752
(2) Apply engine oil to cap bearing surface and
install cap on camshaft as shown by identifica-
tion mark.
(3) Gradually tighten cap in at least two stages
in alphabetical sequence shown in figure, and
then tighten to specified torque.
B2M1395B
(4) Similarly, tighten cap on exhaust side.
After tightening cap, ensure camshaft rotates
only slightly while holding it at ªbaseº circle.

(7) Ream the inside of valve guide with ST.
Gently rotate the reamer clockwise while press-
ing it lightly into valve guide, and return it also
rotating clockwise. After reaming, clean valve
guide to remove chips.
ST 499767400 VALVE GUIDE REAMER
CAUTION:
IApply engine oil to the reamer when ream-
ing.
IIf the inner surface of the valve guide is torn,
the edge of the reamer should be slightly
ground with an oil stone.
IIf the inner surface of the valve guide
becomes lustrous and the reamer does not
chips, use a new reamer or remedy the reamer.
(8) Recheck the contact condition between
valve and valve seat after replacing valve guide.
