4. Remove the camshaft sprocket (INT):
a. Keeping the camshaft hexagonal part (A) in place using suitable
tool, loosen the bolts for the camshaft sprocket (INT) (2).
CAUTION:
• Do not drop stopper pin.
• Tape (C) the stopper pin (B) so it does not come out.
• Do not subject it to impact by dropping.
• Do not disassemble. [Do not loosen the three bolts (A)].
NOTE:
While removing the camshaft sprocket (INT), if you have taken
out the stopper pin and the lock pin has been rejoined in the
most retarded angle, do the following to restore it.
i. Install the camshaft (INT) and tighten the bolts enough to pre- vent air from leaking out.
CAUTION:
The internal lock pin will ge t damaged, so keep the torque
on the bolts to the minimum required to prevent air from
escaping.
ii. Apply the air pressure, disengage the lock pin, and turn the vane to the most advanced angle position.
iii. Insert the stopper pin.
iv. Remove camshaft sprocket (INT) from the camshaft.
5. Remove camshaft brackets (No. 2 to 5). • Loosen bolts in several steps in the reverse order as shown.
NOTE:
The camshaft bracket (No. 1) has been already removed.
6. Remove camshaft (EXH).
7. Remove camshaft (INT).
8. Remove valve lifter (if necessary). • Identify installation positions, and store lifters without mixing them up.
9. Remove the generator and bracket. Refer to CHG-29, "
Exploded View"

a. Put the matching marks (A) on a line extending from the knock
pin position of camshaft (EXH) (1) front surface.
• Put the marks on the visible position with the camshaftsprocket installed as shown.
b. Put the matching marks on a line extending from the knock pin hole (B) position of camshaft sprocket (EXH) (2) as shown.
• Put the marks on the visible position with it installed to the
camshaft.
6. Install camshaft.
• Note that the camshafts (INT and EXH) have different shapesat the rear.
• Install camshafts to the cylinder head so that knock pins (A) on front end are positioned as shown.
NOTE:

c. Tighten all bolts in numerical order.
d. Tighten all bolts in numerical order.
9. Install the camshaft sprocket (INT /EXH) to the camshaft (INT/EXH):
a. Refer to the matching mark (A) added in step 4. Securely align the knock pin and the pin hole, and then install them.
NOTE:
The intake side is shown as an example.
10. Tighten the camshaft sprocket bolt (INT/EXH). CAUTION:
Hold the camshaft hexagonal part (A), using a suitable tool
to secure the camshaft.
11. Align the matching mark (peripheral groove) (A/C) and the pink link (B) on the timing chain.
• If the positions of knock pin and pin groove are not aligned,move the camshaft (EXH) slightly to correct these positions.

• 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)
• If out of the standard, referring to the each standard of
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, "
Removal and Installation".
Standard : Refer to
EM-117, "
Camshaft".

Standard : Refer to EM-117, "Camshaft".
· 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
EM-60, "

after checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belts, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
• Prevent splashing by using a shop cloth to prevent injuryfrom splashing engine oil and so as to prevent engine oil contamination.
• Use a shop cloth to prevent engine oil from bein g splashed to engine and vehicle. Especially be
careful not to spill engine oil to rubber parts of drive belts, engine mounting insulator, etc. Wipe
engine oil off immediatel y if it is splashed.
5. Perform the following inspection if engine oil does not come out from intake valve timing control solenoid valve oil hole of the cylinder head.
• Remove oil filter, and then clean it. Refer to LU-10, "
Removal and Installation".
• Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to LU-5,
"Engine Lubrication System".
6. Remove components between intake valve timing c ontrol solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),
and then check each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-5, "
