(b) Insert SST's tip into the valve lash adjuster
assembly's plunger and use the tip to press down
on the check ball inside the plunger.
SST 09276-75010
(c) Squeeze SST and valve lash adjuster assembly
together to move the plunger up and down 5 to 6
times.
(d) Check the movement of the plunger and bleed the
air.
OK:
Plunger moves up and down.
NOTICE:
When bleeding air from the high-pressure
chamber, make sure that the tip of SST is
actually pressing the check ball as shown in the
illustration. If the check ball is not pressed, air
will not bleed.
(e) After bleeding the air, remove SST. Then try to
quickly and firmly press the plunger with a finger.
OK:
Plunger is very difficult to move.
If the result is not as specified, replace the lash
adjuster.
3. INSPECT CAMSHAFT

at the center journal.
Maximum circle runout:
0.04 mm (0.0016 in.)
If the circle runout is greater than the
maximum, replace the camshaft.

(g) Release the lock pin.
(1) Cover the 4 oil paths of the cam journal with
vinyl tape as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
2 advance side paths are provided in the
groove of the camshaft. Plug one of the paths
with a rubber piece.
(2) Break through the tape of the advance side
path and the retard side path on the opposite
side to the hole of the advance side path, as
shown in the illustration.
(3) Apply approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm
2, 28
psi) of air pressure to the 2 broken paths.
CAUTION:
Cover the paths with a piece of cloth when
applying pressure to keep oil from
splashing.
(4) Check that the camshaft timing gear assembly
revolves in the advance direction when
reducing the air pressure applied to the retard
side path.
HINT:
This operation releases the lock pin for the
most retarded position.
(5) When the camshaft timing gear assembly
reaches the most advanced position, release
the air pressure from the retard side path and
advance side path, in that order.
NOTICE:
Do not release the air pressure from the
advance side path first. The gear may
abruptly shift in the retard direction and
break the lock pin.

smooth operation check.
(i) Check the lock in the most retarded position.
(1) Confirm that the camshaft timing gear
assembly is locked at the most retarded
position.
(j) Remove the flange bolt and camshaft timing gear
assembly.
NOTICE:
• Do not remove the other 3 bolts.
• If planning to reuse the gear, be sure to
release the straight pin lock before installing
the gear.

camshaft, and turn the camshaft timing gear
assembly. Push further at the position where the pin
enters the groove.
NOTICE:
Be sure not to turn the camshaft timing exhaust
gear in the retard direction (the right angle).
(d) Check that there is no clearance between the gear's
flange and the camshaft.
(e) Tighten the flange bolt with the camshaft timing
exhaust gear assembly fixed.
Torque: 100 N*m (1020 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf)

(g) Release the lock pin.
(1) Cover the 4 oil paths of the cam journal with
vinyl tape as shown in the illustration.
HINT:
4 oil paths are provided in the groove. Plug 2
paths with rubber pieces.
(2) Prick a hole in the tape placed on the advance
side path. Prick a hole in the tape placed on the
retard side path, on the opposite side to that of
the advance side path, as shown in the
illustration.
(3) Apply approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm
2, 28
psi) of air pressure to the 2 broken paths (the
advance side path and the retard side path).
CAUTION:
Cover the paths with a piece of cloth when
applying pressure to keep oil from
splashing.
(4) Make sure that the camshaft timing exhaust
gear turns in the retard direction when reducing
the air pressure applied to the advance side
path.
HINT:
The lock pin is released and the camshaft
timing exhaust gear turns in the retard
direction.
(5) When the camshaft timing exhaust gear moves
to the most retarded position, release the air
pressure from the advance side path, and then
release the air pressure from the retard side
path.
NOTICE:
Be sure to release the air pressure from the
advance side path first. If the air pressure of
the retard side path is released first, the
camshaft timing exhaust gear may abruptly
shift in the advance direction and break the

its movable range (18.5
) 2 or 3 times, but do
not turn it to the most advanced position. Make
sure that the gear turns smoothly.
NOTICE:
When the air pressure is released from the
advance side path and then from the retard
side path, the gear automatically returns to
the most advanced position due to the
advance assist spring operation and locks.
Gradually release the air pressure from the
retard side path before performing the
smooth rotation check.
(i) Check the lock at the most advanced position.
(1) Make sure that the camshaft timing exhaust
gear is locked at the most advanced position.

exhaust gear.
NOTICE:
• Be sure not to remove the other 4 bolts.
• If planning to reuse the gear, be sure to
release the straight pin lock before installing
the gear.
6. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT
(a) Using vernier calipers, measure the minimum
diameter of the elongated thread at the measuring
point.

Minimum outside diameter:
10.70 mm (0.4213 in.)
Measuring Point:
103 mm (4.06 in.)
