28. REMOVE NO.2 CAMSHAFT
(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
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 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.

54. INSPECT CAMSHAFT
(a) Inspect the camshaft for runout.
(1) Place the camshaft on V-blocks.
(2) Using a dial indicator, measure the runout at the
center journal.
Maximum circle runout: 0.06 mm (0.0024 in.)
If the runout is greater than maximum, replace the camshaft.

43.010 to 43.110 mm (1.6933 to 1.6972 in.) for exhaust
Minimum cam lobe height:
42.98 mm (1.6921 in.) for intake
42.86 mm (1.6874 in.) for exhaust
If the cam lobe height is less than minimum, replace the cam-
shaft.
(c) Inspect the camshaft journals.
(1) Using a micrometer, measure the journal diameter.
Journal diameter:
26.959 to 26.975 mm (1.0614 to 1.0620 in.)
If the journal diameter is not as specified, check the oil clear-
ance.
55. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT
(a) Using vernier calipers, measure the tension portion diam-
eter of the bolt.
Standard outside diameter:
8.95 to 9.05 mm (0.3524 to 0.3563 in.)
Minimum outside diameter: 8.75 mm (0.3445 in.)
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the bolt.
