• Be sure not to damage the oil pa
th 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 wipe d with a rag when applying air pressure.
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- nately.
• Finally rotate the sprocket of the camshaft sprocket (INT)
counterclockwise [the direction shown by the arrow ( )].
• Perform the work while continuously applying the air pressure to the oil hole.
• If the lock pin is not released, tap the camshaft sprocket (INT) lightly with a plastic hammer (A) using suitable tool.
• 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.
• Check that it is in the most advanced angle positi on by seeing if the stopper pin groove (A) and the stop-
per pin hole (B) are matched up as shown.
e. Stop applying air pressure and release the 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 falling out.
NOTE:
The stopper pin shows one example of a hexagonal wrench for
2.5 mm (0.098 in) [length of inse rted section: approximately15
mm (0.59 in)].

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Oil Filter
• Check that there is no foreign material on the oil filter (1) and check it for clogging.
• Check the oil filter for damage.
• If there is some damage, replace the oil filter, the plug, and the washer as a set.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the washer.
Camshaft Runout
1. Put V-block on a precise flat table, and support No. 2 and 5 jour- nals of camshaft.
CAUTION:
Do not support No. 1 journal (on the side of camshaft
sprocket) because it has a differe nt diameter from the other
four locations.
2. Set a suitable tool vertically to No. 3 journal.
3. Turn camshaft to one direction, and measure the camshaft runout using suitable tool. (Total indicator reading)
