5. Obtain compression TDC of No. 1 cylinder as follows:
a. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise to align the TDC identifica-tion notch (without paint mark) with the timing indicator on the
front cover.
b. At this time, make sure both intake and exhaust cam lobes of No. 1 cylinder (top front on LH bank) point outside.
• If they do not point outside, turn crankshaft pulley once more.
6. Disconnect and remove the camshaft position sensor. Refer to EM-44, "
Exploded View".
7. Disconnect and remove the intake valve timing c ontrol position sensor (RH and LH). Refer to EM-44,
"Exploded View".
8. Disconnect and remove the intake valve timing control solenoid valve (RH and LH). Refer to EM-44,
"Exploded View".
9. Remove the intake valve timing control solenoid cover RH bank (A) and intake valve timing control solenoid cover LH bank (B)
as follows:
a. Loosen and remove the bolts in reverse order as shown.
b. Cut the liquid gasket and remove the covers using Tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage mating surfaces.
10. Paint alignment marks on the RH bank (A) timing chain links (C) and LH bank (B) timing chain links (D) and align with the cam-
shaft sprocket alignment marks (E) and (F).
11. Remove the chain tensioner (LH) using the following steps. WARNING:
Plunger, spring, and spring seat pop out when squeezing return-proof clip without holding
plunger head. It may cause serious injuries. Always hold plunger head when removing.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Camshaft Runout
1. Put V block on precise flat work bench, and support No. 1 and
No. 5 journals of the camshaft.
2. Set dial indicator vertically to No. 3 journal.
3. Turn the camshaft to one direction, and measure the camshaft runout on dial indicator (total indicator reading).
• If measurement exceeds specif ication, replace the camshaft.
Camshaft Cam Height
• Measure the camshaft cam height.
• If measurement is not within the specifications, replace the cam-
shaft.
Camshaft Journal Clearance
Camshaft Journal Diameter
• Measure the diameter of the camshaft journal.
Camshaft Bracket Inner Diameter• Tighten the camshaft bracket bolt to the specified torque.
• Measure the inner diameter of the camshaft bracket.
Calculation of Camshaft Journal Clearance
(Journal clearance) = (camshaft bracket inner diameter) – (camshaft
journal diameter)
• If measurement is not within specification, replace either or both camshaft and cylinder head.
NOTE:
The inner diameter of the camshaft bracket is m anufactured together with the cylinder head. Replace the
whole cylinder head as an assembly. Camshaft runout : Less than 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)

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, "
Va l v e
Clearance".
8. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.

• Remove drive plate bolts diagonally.
CAUTION:
• Do not damage the drive plate. Especially, avoid deform- ing and damaging the signal plate teeth (circumference
position).
• Keep magnetic materials away from signal plate.
• Place the drive plate with th e signal plate surface facing
upward.

• Install the rear oil seal so that each seal lip is oriented asshown.
• Press-fit the rear oil seal using suitable tool. CAUTION:
• Do not damage the crankshaft or cylinder block.
• Press-fit the oil seal straight to avoid causing burrs or
tilting.
• Do not touch grease applied onto the oil seal lip.
• Do not damage or scratch the outer circumference of
the rear oil seal.
• Tap until flattened with the front edge of the oil seal retainer.
3. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal. Refer to EM-83, "

• Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between d1 and d2 exceeds
the limit, replace the bolt with a new one.
• If reduction of diameter appears in a position other than d2, use it as d2 point.
INSTALLATION
1. Install a new cylinder head gasket.
2. Install the cylinder head. Follow the steps below to tighten the bolts in the numerical order shown.
CAUTION:
• If cylinder head bolts are re-used, check their diameters
before installation. Refer to "Cylinder Head Bolts Diame-
ter".
a. Apply engine oil to threads and seating surface of the bolts.
b. Measure the tightening angle using Tool. CAUTION:
Measure the tightening angl e using Tool. Do not measure
visually.
3. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels including 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, 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 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. Limit (d1 - d2) : 0.23 mm (0.0091 in)

ENGINE ASSEMBLY
• Before and during lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.
33. Remove the parts that may restrict installation of the engine to the engine stand. NOTE:
This procedure is described assuming that you use an engine stand mounting to the surface to which the
transmission mounts.
a. Before removing the drive plate, put a match mark (A) on the crankshaft and drive plate for alignment during installation.
b. Remove the drive plate. • Holding the crankshaft pulley bolt, lock the crankshaft to remove the drive plate bolts.
• Loosen the bolts diagonally.CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage the drive plate. Especiallyavoid deforming and damaging of the signal plate teeth
(circumference position).
• Place the drive plate with th e signal plate surface facing
other than downward.
• Keep magnetic materials away from the signal plate.
CAUTION:
Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [a pproximately 240kg (529 lb) or more] large enough
for supporting the engine weight.
• If the load capacity of the stand is not adeq uate, remove the following parts beforehand to
reduce the potential risk of overturning the stand.
- Remove the fuel tube and fuel injector assembly. Refer to EM-40, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the intake manifold. Refer to EM-26, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the ignition coil. Refer to EM-37, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the rocker cover. Refer to EM-38, "
Removal and Installation".
- Other removable brackets.
CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure th e engine stand is stable and there is no risk of
overturning.
34. Remove the generator, if necessary. Refer to CHG-21, "
Removal and Installation".
35. Remove the engine mounting insulator and bracket using power tool, if necessary.
