(e) Turn the crankshaft by 2/3 of a revolution (240), then in-
spect the valves indicated in the illustration on the left.
(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the valve lifter and camshaft.
Valve clearance (Cold):
0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.0059 to 0.0098 in.) for intake
0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.0098 to 0.0138 in.) for exhaust
(2) Record the out-of-specification valve clearance
measurements. They will be used later to select an
adjusting shim to replace.
100. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Turn the camshaft so that the cam lobe faces upward.
(b) Turn the valve lifter with a screwdriver so that the notches
are perpendicular to the camshaft.
(c) Using SST (A), press down the valve lifter and place SST
(B) between the camshaft and valve lifter. Remove SST
(A).
SST 09248-55040 (09248-05410, 09248-05420)
HINT:
Apply SST (B) at a slight angle on the side marked with
º9º or º7º at the position shown in the illustration.
When SST (B) is inserted too deeply, it will get pinched by
the shim. To prevent SST(B) from getting stuck, insert it
gently from the intake side at a slight angle.

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.
28. REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSY
NOTICE:
Do not remove or install the camshaft timing gear (VVT-i)
unless you are replacing the VVT-i or camshaft.
(a) Clamp the camshaft in a vise on the hexagonal lobe.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the camshaft.
(b) Using a 46 mm socket wrench, remove the lock nut by
turning it clockwise.
NOTICE:
Remove it with the lock pin engaged and locked at the
most retard angle position.
The lock nut has LH threads.
Never use any tools other than the socket wrench.
Other tools will deform the cam angle rotor.
(c) Remove the camshaft VVT-i.

33. INSTALL CAMSHAFT
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be kept level while being installed. If the

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) 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.
