1. Make sure the crankshaft key and camshaft dowel pin RH bank
and camshaft dowel pin LH bank are facing in the direction
shown.
2. Install the camshaft sprockets. • Install the camshaft sprocket INT (VTC) (A) and camshaftsprockets EXH (B) by selectively using the groove of the
dowel pin according to the bank. (Common part used for both
exhaust banks.)
NOTE:
Use the groove marked "R" for RH bank and "L" for LH bank.
• Lock the hexagonal part of the camshaft in the same way as for removal, and tighten the bolts.
3. Install the crankshaft sprockets for both banks. • Install LH bank crankshaft sprocket (B) and RH bank crank-shaft sprocket (C) so that their flange side (A) (the larger diam-
eter side without teeth) faces in the direction shown.
NOTE:
The same parts are used but facing directions are different.
4. Install the timing chains and associated parts. • Align the alignment mark on each sprocket and the timing chain for installation.CAUTION:
• Before installing timing chain tensioner, it is possible to change the position of alignment mark
on timing chain and each sprocket . After the alignment marks are aligned, keep them aligned
by holding them by hand.
• Install the slack guides and tension guides onto the correct side by checking the identification mark on
the surface.
• Install the chain tensioner with t he plunger locked in with the stopper pin.
CAUTION:
• Before and after the installation of the timing chain tensioner, make sure that the alignment
mark on the timing chain is not out of alignment.
• After installing the timing chain tensioner, remove the stopp er pin to release the tensioner.
Make sure the tensioner is released.
• To avoid chain-link skipping of the timing chain, do not move crankshaft or camshafts until the
front cover is installed.
5. In the same way as for the RH bank, install the timing chain and associated parts on the LH bank.
6. Install the oil pump.

as follows:
• Cross mark that can not be seen after assembly (C)
a. Apply liquid gasket (D) as shown. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-15, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
CAUTION:
The start and end of the appl ication of the liquid gasket
should be crossed at a position (C) that cannot be seen
after attaching the chain case cover.
b. Install the bolts and tighten them to specification in the numeri- cal order shown.
• A: Intake valve timing control solenoid valve cover (RH)
• B: Intake valve timing control solenoid valve cover (LH)
12. Install the crankshaft pulley. • Install the key of the crankshaft.
• Insert the pulley by lightly tapping it.
CAUTION:
Do not tap pulley on the side surface where th e belt is installed (outer circumference).
13. Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt. • Lock the crankshaft using suitable tool, then tighten the bolt.

b. Select the one most visible notch of the four on the bolt flange.Corresponding to the selected notch, put a alignment mark
(such as paint) on the crankshaft pulley.
14. Rotate the crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when viewed from engine front) to check for parts interference.
15. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse of order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels in cluding engine coolant and engine oil. If the levels are
lower than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-13, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to the fuel piping, check for fuel leakage at the connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, che ck 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 and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down the engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to
specified level if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

5. Install the camshaft sprockets using the following procedure:• A: LH bank shown
a. Install the camshaft sprockets aligning them with the matching marks painted on the timing chain (B) and the camshaft sprock-
ets (C) before removal. Align the camshaft sprocket key groove
with the dowel pin on the camshaft front edge at the same time.
Then temporarily tighten camshaft sprocket bolts.
• Install the intake (VTC) (A) and exhaust (B) side camshaft
sprockets by selectively using the groove of the dowel pin
according to the bank for the exhaust (B) side camshaft
sprockets. (Common part used for both exhaust banks.)
NOTE:
Use the groove marked "R" for RH bank and "L" for LH bank.
b. Lock the hexagonal part of the camshaft in the same way as for removal, and tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts.
c. Check again that the timing alignment mark on the timing chain and on each sprocket are aligned.
6. Install the chain tensioner using the following procedure: NOTE:
LH is shown.
a. Install the chain tensioner. • Compress the plunger and hold it using a stopper pin wheninstalling.
• Loosen the slack guide side timing chain by rotating the cam- shaft hexagonal part if mounting space is small.
b. Remove the stopper pin and release the plunger, and then apply tension to the timing chain.
c. Install the chain tensioner cover onto the front cover. • Apply liquid gasket as shown.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-15, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
7. Check and adjust valve clearances. Refer to EM-18, "

• Perform this inspection only when
DTC P0011 is detected in self-diagnostic results of CONSULT III
and it is directed according to inspecti on procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-88, "
On Board Diag-
nosis Logic".
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-8, "
Inspection".
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while checking.
a. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-489, "
Fuel Pressure Check".
b. Disconnect ignition coil and injector harness connectors if practical.
3. Remove IVT control solenoid valve.
4. Crank engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out from IVT control cover oil hole. End cranking after checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive be lts, idler pulley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
• Engine oil may squirt from IVT control solenoid valve installation hole during cranking. Use a
shop cloth to prevent engine oil from splash ing on worker, engine components and vehicle.
• Do not allow engine oil to get on rubber components such as drive belts or engine mount insula- tors. Immediately wipe off any splashed engine oil.
5. Clean oil groove between oil strainer and IVT control solenoid valve if engine oil does not come out from IVT control valve cover oil hole. Refer to LU-7, "
Schematic".
6. Remove components between IVT control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT), and then check each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary.
7. After inspection, installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
