9. Apply air to the advance hole to release the lock.
Check that the VTC actuator moves smoothly. lf the
VTC actuator does not move smoothly, replace the
VTC acluator.

Valve Glearance Adiustment
NOTE: Adjust the valves only when the cylinder head
temperature is less than 100'F (38'C).
1. Remove the cylinder head cover (see page 6-22).
2. Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC). The
punch mark (A) on the variable valve timing control
(VTC) actuator and the punch mark (B) on the
exhaust camshaft sprocket should be at the top.
Align the TDC marks (C) on the VTC actuator and
exhaust camshaft sprocket.
