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
(a) Inspect the camshaft for runout.
(1) Place the camshaft on V-blocks.
(2) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout
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.
HINT:
Check the oil clearance after replacing the
camshaft.
(b) Using a micrometer, measure the cam lobe height.
Standard cam lobe height

If the journal diameter is not as specified, check the
oil clearance.
4. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
(a) Clamp the camshaft in a vise.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the camshaft in the
vise.
(b) Put the camshaft timing gear assembly and
camshaft together by aligning the key groove and
straight pin.
(c) Lightly press the camshaft timing gear assembly
against the 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 gear in
the retard direction (the right angle).
(d) Check that there is no clearance between the
camshaft timing gear assembly's flange and the
camshaft.
(e) Tighten the flange bolt with the camshaft timing gear
fixed.
Torque: 100 N*m (1,020 kgf*cm, 74 ft.*lbf)
(f) Check the lock of the camshaft timing gear
assembly.

(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.

turn it to the most retarded position. Make sure
that the gear turns smoothly.
NOTICE:
Do not use air pressure to perform the
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.

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)
