the exhaust manifold side camshaft.
CAUTION:
Do not loosen the holding bolt by using the tension of the
chain.
8. Remove the timing chain tension guide.
Installation
1. Install the timing chain tension guide.
2. Install the cam sprocket and the timing chain together.
+Install by aligning the sprocket and timing chain match
marks.
+Tighten the cam sprocket holding bolt by fixing the hexago-
nal portion of the camshaft.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten in the holding bolt using the tension of the
chain.
3. Install the timing chain slack guide.
CAUTION:
When the holding bolt is tightened to the specified torque,
there is a gap between the guide and bolt. Do not over-
tighten.
4. Install the chain tensioner.
1) With the chain tensioner in the position shown in the figure
(with the plunger on the outer side), temporarily tighten the
holding bolt.
2) Press the plunger into the tensioner body while pressing on
the clips which prevent the plunger from returning.
3) Install the upper side holding bolt while holding the plunger
down with your finger and rotating it 180 degrees.
4) Tighten the holding bolt to the specified torque.
5. Install the chain cover.
1) Before installing chain cover, remove all traces of liquid gas-
ket from mating surface using a scraper.

place outside engine in order to prevent confusion.
Inspection
VISUAL CHECK OF CAMSHAFT
+Check the camshaft for one sided wear or scratches.
+Replace the camshaft if there are abnormalities.
CAMSHAFT RUNOUT
+Prepare V-block on a flat surface and secure camshaft jour-
nals No. 1 and No. 5.
+Set the dial gauge vertically on journal No. 3.
+Rotate camshaft in one direction by hand, then read needle
movement on dial indicator.
Camshaft bend value is 1/2 of needle movement.

6. If the valve clearance is outside the specification, adjust as
follows.
Adjustments
+Remove the adjusting shim for parts which are outside the
specified valve clearance.
1. Remove the spill tube.
2. Extract the engine oil on the upper side of the cylinder head
(for the air gun used in step 7).
3. Rotate the crankshaft to face the cam for adjusting shims that
are to be removed upward.
4. Grip the camshaft with camshaft pliers (SST), the using the
camshaft as a support point, push the adjusting shim down-
ward to compress the valve spring.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the camshaft, cylinder head, or the outer
circumference of the valve lifter.
5. With the valve spring in a compressed state, remove the
camshaft pliers (SST) by securely setting the outer circum-
ference of the valve lifter with the end of the lifter stopper
(SST).
+Hold the lifter stopper by hand until the shim is removed.
CAUTION:
Do not retrieve the camshaft pliers forcefully, as the cam-
shaft will be damaged.
6. Move the rounded hole of the adjusting shim to the front with
a very thin screwdriver.
+When the adjusting shim on the valve lifter will not rotate
smoothly, restart from step 4 with the end of the lifter stop-
per (SST) touching the adjusting shim.
7. Remove the adjusting shim from the valve lifter by blowing
air through the rounded hole of the shim with an air gun.
CAUTION:
To prevent any remaining oil from being blown around, thor-
oughly wipe the area clean and wear protective goggles.
