Valve Train
The valve train uses Direct Acting Mechanical Buckets (DAMB). The camshaft lobes are positioned directly above mechanical buckets which are positioned on top of the valves.
Ti-VCT
TheTi-VCT system allows variable control of intake valve closing which optimizes combustion at full load providing improved power and low speed torque (broadening the torque curve) which enables variable valve overlap which provides better fuel economy and emissions and provides optimized cold start operation with improved exhaust emissions.

- Rotate the crankshaft slowly clockwise until the crankshaft balance weight is up against the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg. The engine is now at TDC. Install the Special Tool(s) : 303-507 (Timing Peg, Crankshaft TDC)
- Mark the balancer unit and shafts on the top for reference that the balancer unit is at TDC.
- NOTE: Due to the precision interior construction of the balancer unit, it should not be disassembled.
- Remove the adjustment shims from the seat faces of the balancer unit.
- Install the master adjustment shims (No. 50) on the seat faces of the balancer unit.
- With the balancer unit shaft marks at the TDC position, slowly install the balancer unit to the cylinder block to avoid interference between the crankshaft drive gear and the balancer unit driven gear.
- Torque : Stage 1: 25 Nm Stage 2: 42 Nm
- Rotate the crankshaft to confirm that there are no meshing problems between the balancer unit gear and the crankshaft gear. Remove the Special Tool(s) : 303-507 (Timing Peg, Crankshaft TDC)
- Rotate the crankshaft slowly clockwise until the crankshaft balance weight is up against the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg. The engine is now at TDC. Install the Special Tool(s) : 303-507 (Timing Peg, Crankshaft TDC)
- NOTE: Measure the backlash and verify that it is within specified range at all of the following 6 positions: 10 degrees, 30 degrees, 100 degrees, 190 degrees, 210 degrees and 280 degrees. It will be necessary to reset the measuring equipment between measurements. NOTE: The measurement must be taken with the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture, a 5-mm Allen wrench and worm clamp set up as shown in illustration. Mark the Allen wrench with a file 80 mm (3.149 in) above the driven gear shaft center. Make sure the worm clamp and Allen wrench are not touching the balance shaft housing. NOTE: For an accurate measurement while measuring the gear backlash, insert a screwdriver as shown in illustration into the crankshaft No. 1 crankweight area and set both the rotation and the thrust direction with the screwdriver, using a prying action as shown in illustration. Position as shown in illustration. Measure the gear backlash. Special Tool(s) : 100-002 (Holding Fixture with Dial Indicator Gauge) Position the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture (1) on the Allen wrench 80 mm (3.149 in) above the driven gear shaft center (2) on the balancer unit. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise and measure the backlash at all of the following 6 positions: 10 degrees, 30 degrees, 100 degrees, 190 degrees, 210 degrees and 280 degrees.
- NOTE: If maximum backlash exceeds 0.120 mm (0.0047 in), install a new balancer unit. Using the backlash measurement, select the proper shims from the Adjustment Shim Selection Table in illustration. Remove the balancer unit from the cylinder block. Install the selected adjustment shims on the seat faces of the balancer unit.
- Rotate the crankshaft slowly clockwise until the crankshaft balance weight is up against the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg. The engine is now at TDC. Install the Special Tool(s) : 303-507 (Timing Peg, Crankshaft TDC)
- With the balancer unit shaft marks at the TDC position, slowly install the balancer unit to the cylinder block to avoid interference between the crankshaft drive gear and the balancer unit driven gear.

Position as shown in illustration. Measure the gear backlash. Special Tool(s) : 100-002 (Holding Fixture with Dial Indicator Gauge) Position the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture (1) on the Allen wrench 80 mm (3.149 in) above the driven gear shaft center (2) on the balancer unit. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise and measure the backlash at all of the following 6 positions: 10 degrees, 30 degrees, 100 degrees, 190 degrees, 210 degrees and 280 degrees. If the backlash exceeds the specified range of 0.020 to 0.120 mm (0.00078 to 0.0047 in), install a new balancer unit and repeat the procedure.
