When removing the camshaft, mark certain that the torsional
spring force of the sub±gear has been eliminated by the above
operation.
(3) Uniformly loosen and remove the 10 bearing cap
bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
(4) Remove the 5 bearing caps and intake camshaft.
(b) Remove the exhaust camshaft.
(1) Uniformly loosen and remove the 10 bearing cap
bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
(2) Remove the 5 bearing caps, oil seal and exhaust
camshaft.
32. REMOVE CAMSHAFTS OF LH CYLINDER HEAD
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be held 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 intake camshaft.
(1) Align the timing marks (1 dot mark) of the camshaft
drive and driven gears by turning the camshaft with
a wrench.

5. INSTALL CAMSHAFTS OF RH CYLINDER HEAD
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be held level while it is being installed. If the
camshaft is not level, the portion of the cylinder head re-
ceiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, causing
the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the following
steps should be carried out.
(a) Install the exhaust camshaft.
(1) Apply new engine oil to the thrust portion and jour-
nal of the camshaft.
(2) Place the exhaust camshaft at 90° angle of timing
mark (2 dot marks) on the cylinder head.
(3) Apply MP grease to a new oil seal lip.
(4) Install the oil seal to the camshaft.
(5) Remove any old packing (FIPG) material.
(6) Apply seal packing to the No.1 bearing cap as
shown.

(a) Install the 2 thrust washers on the No.2 bearing cap with
the grooves facing outward.
(b) Temporarily place the 4 main bearing caps level and let
them in their proper locations.
(c) Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under
the main bearing cap bolts for the 12 pointed head.
(d) Temporarily install the 8 main bearing cap bolts to the in-
side positions.
(e) Insert the main bearing cap with your hand until the clear-
ance between the main bearing cap and the cylinder
block will become less than 6 mm (0.23 in.) by making the
2 internal main bearing cap bolts as a guide.
(f) Using a plastic±faced hammer, lightly tap the bearing cap
to ensure a proper fit.
8. INSTALL 12 POINTED HEAD MAIN BEARING CAP

HINT:

The main bearing cap bolts are tightened in 2 progressive
steps (steps (b) and (d)).

If any of the main bearing cap bolts is broken or deformed,
replace it.

OIL AND FILTER
INSPECTION
1. CHECK ENGINE OIL QUALITY
Check the oil for deterioration, entry of water, discoloring or thin-
ning.
If the quality is visibly poor, replace the oil.
Oil grade:
API grade SJ, Energy±Conserving or ILSAC multi-
grade engine oil. SAE 5W±30 is the best choice for
your vehicle, for good fuel economy, and good start-
ing in cold weather.
2. CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
After warming up the engine and then 5 minutes after the en-
gine stop, oil level should be between ºLº and ºFº of the dipstick.
If low, check for leakage and add oil up to ºFº mark.
NOTICE:

Do not fill with engine oil above the ºFº mark.

When inserting the oil dipstick, insert the curved tip
of the dipstick facing the same direction as the curve
of the guide.

If the dipstick gets caught while inserting it, do not
force it in. Reconfirm the direction of the dipstick.
3. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH AND INSTALL OIL
PRESSURE GAUGE
4. WARM UP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.

At 3,000 rpm245 ± 490 kPa (2.5 ± 5.0 kgf/cm2, 36 ± 71 psi)
6. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE AND REINSTALL
OIL PRESSURE SWITCH
(a) Remove the oil pressure gauge.
(b) Apply adhesive to 2 or 3 threads of the oil pressure switch.
