25. REMOVE TIMING BELT NO.3 COVER
(a) Disconnect the 3 engine wire harness clamps from the
timing belt No. 3 cover.
(b) Remove the 6 bolts and timing belt cover.
26. 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.

(e) Using SST, align the holes of the camshaft main gear and
sub gear by turning the camshaft sub gear counterclock-
wise, then temporarily install a service bolt.
SST 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00500)
(f) Align the gear teeth of the main gear and sub gear, then
tighten the service bolt.
Torque: 5.4 NVm (55 kgfVcm, 48 in.Vlbf)
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the camshaft journals.
HINT:
When installing the camshaft, make certain that the torsional
spring force of the sub gear has been eliminated by installation
of the service bolt.
31. INSTALL CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSY
(a) Align the alignment pin with the alignment pin groove,
then install the VVT-i on the camshaft.
NOTICE:
Install it with the lock pin engaged and locked at the most
retard angle position.
(b) Apply engine oil to the nut, mounting surface of the VVT-i
and screw threads.
NOTICE:
Be sure to apply the oil, otherwise the specified
torque cannot be obtained.
New nut must be used when replacing the VVT-i unit.
(c) Using a 46 mm socket wrench, install and tighten a lock
nut by turning it counterclockwise.
Torque: 150 NVm (1,530 kgfVcm, 111 ftVlbf)
NOTICE:
The lock nut has LH threads.
Never use any tools other than the socket wrench.
Other tools will deform the cam angle rotor.
32. INSTALL NO.2 CAMSHAFT
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be kept level while being installed. 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) Apply new engine oil to the thrust portion and journal of
the camshaft.

(b) Place the No. 2 camshaft at a 90 angle of the timing mark
(2 dot marks) on the cylinder head.
(c) Apply multi-purpose grease to a new oil seal lip.
(d) Install the oil seal to the camshaft.
NOTICE:
Do not turn over the oil seal lip.
Insert the oil seal until it stops.
(e) Remove any old packing material from the contact sur-
face.
(f) Apply seal packing to the bearing cap No. 1 as shown in
the illustration.
Seal packing: Part No. 08826-00080 or equivalent
NOTICE:
Install the bearing cap No. 1 within 5 minutes after ap-
plying seal packing.
Do not expose the seal packing to engine oil within 2
hours after installing.
(g) Install the 5 bearing caps in their proper locations.
(h) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads of the bear-
ing cap bolts.
(i) Using several steps, tighten the 10 bearing cap bolts uni-
formly in the sequence shown in the illustration.
Torque: 16 NVm (163 kgfVcm, 12 ftVlbf)

33. INSTALL CAMSHAFT
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be kept level while being installed. 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) Apply new engine oil to the thrust portion and journal of

(b) Align the timing marks (2 dot marks) of the camshaft drive
and driven gears.
(c) Place the camshaft on the cylinder head.
(d) Install the 5 bearing caps in their proper locations.
(e) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads of the bear-
ing cap bolts.
(f) Using several steps, tighten the 10 bearing cap bolts uni-
formly in the sequence shown in the illustration.
Torque: 16 NVm (163 kgfVcm, 12 ftVlbf)
(g) Remove the service bolt.
34. INSTALL TIMING BELT NO.3 COVER
(a) Visually check for cracks and breaks on the gasket of the
timing belt cover.
HINT:
If there is a trace of water intrusion when checking visually, re-
pair the gasket with seal packing when the crack length is within
2 to 3 cm (0.79 to 1.18 in.). Replace the gasket when the crack
length is 3 to 4 cm (1.18 to 1.57 in.) or longer.

the remaining gasket.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the timing belt cover.
(2) Remove the backing paper from a new gasket, then
affix the gasket along the groove of the timing belt
cover as shown in the illustration.
NOTICE:
Affix the gasket in the center of the groove.
At the corners, try to keep the gasket thickness uni-
form.
