INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
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-19, "
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 leak-
age 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 chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may generate a
pounding noise during and just after the 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, 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.

CAMSHAFT
The sprocket (C) and vane (camshaft coupling) (B) are
designed to spin and move within the range of a certain
angle.
With the engine stopped and the vane in the most
retarded angle, it will not spin because it is locked to the
sprocket side by the internal lock pin (A).
If the camshaft sprocket mounting bolts are turned in the
situation described above, the lock pin will become dam-
aged and cause malfunctions because of the increased
horizontal load (cutting force) on the lock pin.
a. Remove camshaft bracket (No. 1) (1).
Loosen the bolts in several steps, and then remove them.
b. Apply the following air pressure to the No. 1 journal oil hole (A)
of camshaft (INT) (1) shown using an air gun.
Apply the air pressure into the oil hole on the second groove
from the front of camshaft thrust (B).
Proceed all the way through step “e” with the air pressure on.
Attach the rubber nozzle (B) narrowed to the top of the air gun
(A) to prevent air leakage from the oil hole. Securely apply the
air pressure to the oil hole.
CAUTION:
There are other oil holes in the side grooves. Never use
the incorrect oil holes.
Be sure not to damage the oil path with the tip of the air
gun.
Wipe all the oil off the air gun to prevent oil from being
blown all over along with the air, and the area around the
air gun should be wiped with a rag when applying air
pressure. Eye protection should be worn as needed.
NOTE:
The air pressure is used to move the lock pin into the disengage position.
c. Hold the camshaft sprocket (INT) with hands, and then apply the power counterclockwise/clockwise alter-
natively.
Finally rotate the sprocket of the camshaft sprocket (INT) counterclockwise [the direction shown by the
arrow ( )].
Perform the work while applying the air pressure to the oil hole.

If the lock pin is not released by hands, tap the camshaft
sprocket (INT) lightly with a plastic hammer (A).
If the camshaft sprocket (INT) is not rotated counterclockwise
even if the above procedures are performed, check the air
pressure and the oil hole position.
d. While doing the above, once you hear a click (the sound of the
internal lock pin disengaging) from inside the camshaft sprocket
(INT), start turning the camshaft sprocket (INT) in the counter-
clockwise direction in the most advanced angle position.
Keep the air pressure on.
If there is no click, as soon as the vane-side (camshaft side)
starts moving independently of the sprocket, the lock pin has
become disengaged.
Make sure that it is in the most advanced angle position by
seeing if the stopper pin groove (A) and the stopper pin hole (B) are matched up as shown.
e. Complete the applying procedure of air pressure and the holding procedure of camshaft (INT).
f. Insert the stopper pin (A) into the stopper pin holes in the cam-
shaft sprocket (INT) and lock in the most advanced angle posi-
tion.
CAUTION:
No load is exerted on the stopper pin (spring reaction, etc.).
Since it comes out easily, secure it with tape (B) to prevent
it from coming out.
NOTE:
The stopper pin shows one example of a hexagonal wrench for
2.5 mm (0.098 in) [length of inserted section: approximately15
mm (0.59 in)].
13. Remove camshaft brackets (No. 2 to 5).
Loosen bolts in several steps in the reverse of the order
shown.
NOTE:
The camshaft bracket (No. 1) has been already removed.
14. Remove camshaft (EXH).
