18. REMOVE TIMING BELT
(a) Set the No. 1 cylinder to the TDC/compression.
(1) Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt and
washer to the crankshaft.
(2) Turn the crankshaft clockwise, then align the timing
mark of the crankshaft timing pulley with the oil
pump body.
(3) Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing
pulleys and the timing belt No. 3 cover are aligned.
If not, turn the crankshaft by 1 revolution (360).
(4) Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
(b) If reusing the timing belt, check that there are 3 installa-
tion marks on the timing belt as shown in the illustration.
(1) If the installation marks have disappeared, put new
installation marks on the timing belt before remov-
ing.
(c) Set the No. 1 cylinder to approximately 60 BTDC/com-
pression.
(1) Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise by approxi-
mately 60.
NOTICE:
If the timing belt is disengaged, having the crankshaft
pulley set at the wrong angle can cause contact of the pis-
ton head with the valve head when removing the camshaft
timing pulley and camshaft, which causes damage. So al-
ways set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.
(d) Remove the timing belt tensioner.
NOTICE:
Do not reinstall the tensioner with its plunger extended.

26. REMOVE WATER PUMP ASSY
(a) Remove the 3 bolts and 3 nuts, then remove the water
pump and gasket.
27. REMOVE CAMSHAFT
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be kept level while being removed. If the
camshaft is not kept level, the cylinder head or camshaft
may be damaged. To avoid this, the following steps must
be carried out.
(a) Align the timing marks (2 dot marks) of the camshaft drive
and driven gears by turning the camshaft with a wrench.
(b) Secure the exhaust camshaft sub gear to the main gear
with a service bolt.
Torque: 5.4 NVm (55 kgfVcm, 48 in.Vlbf)
Recommended service bolt
Thread diameter6 mm
Thread pitch1.0 mm
Bolt length16 to 20 mm
HINT:
When removing the camshaft, make certain that the torsional
spring force of the sub gear has been eliminated by installation
of the service bolt.
(c) Using several steps, loosen and remove the 10 bearing
cap bolts uniformly in the sequence shown in the illustra-
tion. Remove the 5 bearing caps and camshaft.
NOTICE:
Do not pry out the camshaft.
Be careful not to damage the contact surface of the
cylinder head that receives the shaft thrust.

(a) Using several steps, loosen and remove the 10 bearing
cap bolts uniformly in the sequence shown in the illustra-
tion. Remove the 5 bearing caps and No. 2 camshaft.
NOTICE:
Do not pry out the camshaft.
Be careful not to damage the contact surface of the
cylinder head that receives the shaft thrust.
(b) Remove the oil seal from the No. 2 camshaft.
29. REMOVE NO.3 CAMSHAFT SUB-ASSY
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be kept level while being removed. If the
camshaft is not kept level, the cylinder head or camshaft
may be damaged. To avoid this, the following steps must
be carried out.
(a) Align the timing marks (1 dot marks) of the camshaft drive

(c) Using several steps, loosen and remove the 10 bearing
cap bolts uniformly in the sequence shown in the illustra-
tion. Remove the 5 bearing caps and No. 3 camshaft.
NOTICE:
Do not pry out the camshaft.
Be careful not to damage the contact surface of the
cylinder head that receives the shaft thrust.
30. REMOVE NO.4 CAMSHAFT SUB-ASSY
(a) Using several steps, loosen and remove the 10 bearing
cap bolts uniformly in the sequence shown in the illustra-
tion. Remove the 5 bearing caps and No. 4 camshaft.
NOTICE:
Do not pry out the camshaft.
Be careful not to damage the contact surface of the
cylinder head that receives the shaft thrust.
(b) Remove the oil seal from the No. 4 camshaft.
31. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSY
(a) Clamp the camshaft in a vise on the hexagonal lobe.
(b) Check that the VVT-i will not turn.
(c) Cover all the oil ports with vinyl tape except the port on the
advance angle side (nearest to the convex portion)
shown in the illustration.
(d) Using the air gun, apply about 100 kPa (1 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi)
of air pressure to the port on the advance angle side.
NOTICE:
Some oil spraying will occur. Be prepared to catch the
spray with a shop rag.
HINT:
This operation releases the lock pin for the most retard angle
lock.
(e) Under the condition above, turn the VVT-i to the advance
angle side (the direction of the white arrow in the illustra-
tion) by hand.
Standard: Must turn
HINT:
Depending on the air pressure, the VVT-i will turn to the ad-
vance angle side without applying force by hand. Also, if the
pressure can be hardly applied because of the air leakage from
the port, the lock pin might not be released easily.
