lThe following procedure describes removing and installing camshaft without removing front cover. If the
front cover is removed or installed, removal of No.1 camshaft bracket is easier before step 8. Installation is
easier after step 3. Regarding removal and installation of front cover, refer toEM-43, "
TIMING CHAIN".
1. Release fuel pressure. Refer toEC-34, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE",EC-399, "FUEL PRESSURE
RELEASE".
2. Remove parts listed below.
lIgnition Coil; Refer toEM-27, "Removal and Installation".
lRocker cover; Refer toEM-31, "Removal and Installation".
3. Remove power steering reservoir tank.
4. Remove Intake valve timing control cover.

lIf some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole
of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
–If the added engine oil improves the compression, the piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check
the piston rings and replace if necessary.
–If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be mal-
functioning. Check the valves for damage. Replace the valve or valve seat accordingly.
lIf two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains low
even after the addition of engine oil, the gaskets are leaking. In such a case, replace the cylinder head
gaskets.
8. Install spark plug, ignition coil and harness connectors.
