b. Install new O-rings on front cover.
c. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with tube presser [SST:
WS3930000 ( — )] to intake valve timing control covers as
shown in the figure.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-48, "
RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND
SEALANTS".
d. Tighten mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in the fig-
ure.
12. Install intake valve timing control position sensor, intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft
position sensor (PHASE) to intake valve timing control cover and front cover if removed.
Be sure to tighten mounting bolts with flanges completely seated.
13. Install oil pan and oil strainer. Refer to EM-187, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
14. Install crankshaft pulley as follows:
a. Fix crankshaft with ring gear stopper [SST: J-45476].
b. Install crankshaft pulley, taking care not to damage front oil seal.
Install according to dowel pin of oil pump drive spacer.
Lightly tapping its center with plastic hammer, insert pulley.
CAUTION:
Do not tap pulley on the side surface where belt is installed (outer circumference).
c. Apply engine oil onto threaded parts of crankshaft pulley bolt and seating area.
d. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
e. Put a paint mark on crankshaft pulley aligning with angle mark on crankshaft pulley bolt.

4. Crank the engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out
from intake valve timing control cover oil hole. End crank after
checking.
WA R N I N G :
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belt, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
Engine oil may squirt from intake valve timing control sole-
noid valve installation hole during cranking. Use a shop
cloth to prevent the engine components and the vehicle. Do
not allow engine oil to get on rubber components such as
drive belt or engine mount insulators. Immediately wipe off
any splashed engine oil.
Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve if engine oil does not
come out from intake valve timing control cover oil hole. Refer to LU-24, "
LUBRICATION SYSTEM" .
5. Remove components between intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),
and then check each oil groove for clogging.
Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-24, "LUBRICATION SYSTEM" .
6. After inspection, install removed parts.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.
Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-12, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .
Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may gen-
erate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this does not indicate an unusualness.
Noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.
Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.
Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
Summary of the inspection items:
* Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
Valve ClearanceNBS004PB
INSPECTION
In cases of removing/installing or replacing camshaft and valve-related parts, or of unusual engine conditions
due to changes in valve clearance (found malfunctions during starting, idling or causing noise), perform
inspection as follows:
1. Remove rocker covers (right and left bank). Refer to EM-199, "
ROCKER COVER" .
