(a) Check the crankshaft pulley position.
Check that the timing mark of the crankshaft pulley is
aligned with the centers of the crankshaft pulley bolt and
idler pulley bolt.
NOTICE:
Having the crankshaft pulley at the wrong angle can cause
the piston head and valve head to come into contact with
each other when you remove the camshaft, causing dam-
age. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct
angle.
(b) Release the oil from the front bearing caps.
Using SST, rotate the camshaft timing tube from left to
right 2 to 3 times within its VVT±i range (25°) and use a
waste cloth to collect the oil from the camshaft timing oil
control valve installation hole.
SST 09960±10010 (09962±01000, 09963±00400)
NOTICE:
Approximately 20 cc (1.2 cu in.) of oil will be ejected. Take
care not to spill it.
(c) Remove the LH camshafts.
(1) Bring the service bolt hole of the sub±gear upward
by turning the hexagon head portion of the exhaust
camshaft with a wrench.
(2) Secure the sub±gear to the main gear with a service
bolt.
Recommended service bolt:
Thread diameter6 mm
Thread pitch1.0 mm
Bolt length16 to 20 mm (0.63 to 0.79 in.)
HINT:
When removing the camshaft, make sure that the torsional
spring force of the sub±gear has been eliminated by the above
operation.
(3) Align the timing mark (2±dot mark) of the camshaft
drive gear by turning the hexagon head portion of
the exhaust camshaft with a wrench.

IFOLD ASSEMBLIES
(a) Uniformly loosen the 10 cylinder head bolts on one side
of each cylinder head in several steps, in the sequence
shown, then perform the same procedure to the other
side as shown. Remove the 20 cylinder head bolts and
plate washers.
NOTICE:
Cylinder head warpage or cracking could result from
removing bolts in incorrect order.
Do not drop the plate washer for cylinder head bolt
into portion A of the cylinder head. If dropped into
portion A, the plate washer will pass through the cyl-
inder head and cylinder block into the oil pan.

INSPECTION
1. CLEAN TOP SURFACES OF PISTONS AND CYL-
INDER BLOCK
(a) Turn the crankshaft, and bring each piston to top dead
center (TDC). Using a gasket scraper, remove all the car-
bon from the piston top surface.
(b) Using a surface contacting gasket scraper, remove all the
gasket materials from the cylinder block.
(c) Using compressed air, blow carbon and oil from the bolt
holes.
CAUTION:
Protect your eyes when using high pressure compressed
air.
2. REMOVE GASKET MATERIAL
Using a gasket scraper, remove all the gasket material from the
cylinder block contact surface.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to scratch the surface contacting the cylin-
der block.
3. CLEAN COMBUSTION CHAMBERS
Using a wire brush, remove all the carbon from the combustion
chambers.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to scratch the surface contacting the cylin-
der block.
4. CLEAN VALVE GUIDE BUSHINGS
Using a valve guide bushing brush and solvent, clean all the
guide bushings.

9. CLEAN VALVES
(a) Using a gasket scraper, chip off any carbon from the valve
head.
(b) Using a wire brush, thoroughly clean the valve.
10. INSPECT VALVE STEMS AND GUIDE BUSHINGS
(a) Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the
guide bushing.
Bushing inside diameter:
5.510 to 5.530 mm (0.2169 to 0.2177 in.)
(b) Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of the valve
stem.
Valve stem diameter:
Intake5.470 to 5.485 mm (0.2154 to 0.2159 in.)
Exhaust5.465 to 5.480 mm (0.2152 to 0.2157 in.)
(c) Subtract the valve stem diameter measurement from the
guide bushing inside diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance:
Intake0.025 to 0.060 mm (0.0010 to 0.0024 in.)
Exhaust0.030 to 0.065 mm (0.0012 to 0.0026 in.)
Maximum oil clearance:
Intake0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
Exhaust0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the valve and
guide bushing. (See page EM±56)
11. INSPECT AND GRIND VALVES
(a) Grind the valve enough to remove pits and carbon.
(b) Check that the valve is ground to the correct valve face
angle.
Valve face angle: 44.5°

16. INSPECT CAMSHAFT JOURNALS
Using a micrometer, measure the journal diameter.
Journal diameter:
26.954 to 26.970 mm (1.0612 to 1.0618 in.)
If the journal diameter is not as specified, check the oil clear-
ance (see step 20).
17. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING TUBE
(a) Using a micrometer, measure the journal diameter.
Journal diameter:
39.955 to 39.964 mm (1.5730 to 1.5734 in.)
If the journal diameter is not as specified, check the oil clear-
ance.
(b) Install the timing tube to the intake camshaft, and check
the timing tube turns smoothly.
If necessary, replace the timing tube and intake camshaft.
18. INSPECT CAMSHAFT GEAR SPRING
Using vernier calipers, measure the free distance between the
spring ends.
Free distance: 18.2 to 18.8 mm (0.717 to 0.740 in.)
If the free distance is not as specified, replace the gear spring.
19. INSPECT CAMSHAFT BEARINGS
Check the bearings for flaking and scoring.
If the bearings are damaged, replace the bearing caps and cyl-
inder head as a set.
20. INSPECT CAMSHAFT JOURNAL OIL CLEARANCE
(a) Install the camshaft timing tube to the intake camshaft
(see page EM±58).
(b) Clean the bearing caps and camshaft journals.
(c) Place the camshafts on the cylinder head.
(d) Lay a strip of Plastigage across each of the camshaft jour-
nals.
