3. Install camshaft brackets.
+Install correctly, identifying brackets by the journal No. and
front mark on top surface.
JEM160G
4. Tighten bolts in the order shown in the figure according to the
following procedure:
a. Tighten to 2.0 N´m (0.2 kg-m, 17 in-lb).
+Make sure camshaft thrusting parts (on rear side) securely fit
in their mating parts on the cylinder head.
b. Tighten to 6 N´m (0.6 kg-m, 52 in-lb).
c. Tighten to 12 to 13 N´m (1.2 to 1.4 kg-m, 9 to 10 ft-lb).
5. Install camshaft sprockets.
+Camshaft sprockets are commonly used for RH and LH.
+Align camshaft sprocket and dowel pin on camshaft, and
install.
+Holding the hexagonal part of camshaft with a wrench, tighten
bolt securing camshaft sprocket.
6. Before installing spill tube after installing secondary timing
chain, check and adjust valve clearance. Refer to EM-132,
ªValve Clearanceº.
7. Hereafter, install in the reverse order of removal.

Valve ClearanceNJEM0068CHECKINGNJEM0068S01Check valve clearance while engine is cold and not running.
1. Set the No. 1 piston to TDC on its compression stroke.
+Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise so that the knock pin on cam-
shaft LH faces straight above. (No position indicator, etc. is
provided on the crankshaft pulley.)
