• 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)].

• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leaks.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks
at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, che ck again for fuel leaks 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 leak s 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 engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

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)

• Measure the outer diameter of valve lifter using suitable tool (A).
VALVE LIFTER HOLE DIAMETER
Measure the diameter of valve lifter hole of cylinder head using suit-
able tool (A).
VALVE LIFTER CLEARANCE
• (Valve lifter clearance) = (Valve lifter hole diameter) – (Valve lifter outer diameter)

valve lifter outer diameter and valve lifter hole diame-
ter, replace either or both valve lifter and cylinder head.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection of Camshaft Sprocket Oil Groove
CAUTION:
• Perform this inspection only when DTC P0011 or P 0014 is detected in self-diagnostic results of CON-
SULT and it is directed according to insp ection procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-168, "
Diagnosis
Procedure" (P0011) or EC-172, "Diagnosis Procedure" (P0014).
• Check when engine is cold so as to pr event burns from the splashing engine oil.
NOTE:
This section provides the inspection method of oil passage of cam sprocket on the intake side. For oil passage
on the exhaust side, the inspection proc edure must be changed as instructed below:
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
Inspection".
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while checking.
a. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-137, "
Work Procedure".
b. Remove intake manifold. Refer to EM-28, "

· Step 3 : Remove exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to EM-60, "Exploded View".
· Step 4 : Crank engine, and then check that engine oil comes out from exhaust valve timing control solenoid
valve hole (A). End crank after checking.
·Step 5 Perform the following inspection if engine oil does not come out from exhaust valve timing control
solenoid valve oil hole of the cylinder head.
• Remove oil filter, and then clean it. Refer to
EM-60, "
Exploded View".
• Clean oil groove between oil strainer and exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to
