  1. Preparation for installation of automatic belt tension adjuster assembly: NOTE: Always use a vertical type pressing tool to move the adjuster rod down. Do not use a lateral type vise. Push the adjuster rod vertically. Be sure to slowly move the adjuster rod down applying a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb). Press-in the push adjuster rod gradually taking more than 3 minutes. Do not allow press pressure to exceed 9,807 N (1,000 kgf, 2,205 lb). Press the adjuster rod as far as the end surface of cylinder. Do not press the adjuster rod into the cylinder. Doing so may damage the cylinder. Do not release the press pressure until stopper pin is completely inserted. Attach the automatic belt tension adjuster assembly to the vertical pressing tool. Slowly move the adjuster rod down with a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) until the adjuster rod is aligned with the stopper pin hole in the cylinder. With a 2 mm (0.08 in) dia. stopper pin or a 2 mm (0.08 in) (nominal) dia. hex bar wrench inserted into the stopper pin hole in the cylinder, secure the adjuster rod.

  2. Crankshaft and camshaft sprocket alignment. Align mark (A) on the crankshaft sprocket with mark on the oil pump cover at cylinder block. Align single line mark (A) on the exhaust camshaft sprocket (RH) with notch (B) on timing belt cover. Align single line mark (A) on the intake camshaft sprocket (RH) with notch (B) on timing belt cover. (Make sure double lines (C) on intake camshaft and exhaust camshaft sprockets are aligned.) Align single line mark (A) on exhaust camshaft sprocket (LH) with notch (B) on timing belt cover by turning the sprocket counterclockwise (as viewed from front of engine). Align the single line mark (A) on intake camshaft sprocket (LH) with notch (B) on timing belt cover by turning the sprocket clockwise (as viewed from front of engine). Ensure the double lines (C) on intake and exhaust camshaft sprockets are aligned. Ensure the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets are positioned properly. CAUTION: Intake and exhaust camshafts for this DOHC Engine can be independently rotated with the timing belts removed. As can be seen from the figure, if the intake and exhaust valves are lifted simultaneously, their heads will interfere with each other, resulting in bent valves. When the timing belts are not installed, four camshafts are held at the "zero-lift" position, where all cams on camshafts do not push the intake and exhaust valves down. (Under this condition, all valves remain unlifted.) When the camshafts are rotated to install the timing belts, #2 intake and #4 exhaust cam of camshafts (LH) are held to push their corresponding valves down. (Under this condition, these valves are held lifted.) Camshafts (RH) are held so that their cams do not push valves down. Camshafts (LH) must be rotated from the "zero-lift" position to the position where the timing belt is to be installed at as small an angle as possible, in order to prevent mutual interference of intake and exhaust valve heads. Do not allow the camshafts to rotate in the direction shown in the figure as this causes both intake and exhaust valves to lift simultaneously, resulting in interference with their heads.
  3. Installation of timing belt: Align the alignment mark on timing belt with marks on sprockets in alphabetical order shown in the figure. While aligning marks, position the timing belt properly. CAUTION: Disengagement of more than three timing belt teeth may result in interference between the valve and piston. Ensure the belt's rotating direction is correct.
  4. Install the belt idlers. Tightening torque: 39 N.m (4.0 kgf-m, 28.9 ft-lb) NOTE: Make sure that the marks on the timing belt and sprockets are aligned.
  5. After ensuring that the marks on the timing belt and sprockets are aligned, remove the stopper pin from tensioner adjuster.
  6. Install the timing belt guide. (MT model) Temporarily tighten the bolts. Check and adjust the clearance between timing belt and timing belt guide. Clearance: 1.0+/-0.5 mm (0.039+/-0.020 in) Tighten the bolts. Tightening torque: 10 N.m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 ft-lb) Tightening torque: 6.4 N.m (0.7 kgf-m, 5.1 ft-lb) Tightening torque: 6.4 N.m (0.7 kgf-m, 5.1 ft-lb) Tightening torque: 6.4 N.m (0.7 kgf-m, 5.1 ft-lb)

  1. Camshaft installation: Apply engine oil to cylinder head at camshaft bearing location before installing the camshaft. Install the camshaft so that each valve is close to or in contact with "base circle" of cam lobe. NOTE: When the camshafts are positioned as shown in the figure, camshafts need to be rotated at a minimum to align with the timing belt during installation. Camshaft (RH) need not be rotated when set at position shown in the figure. Intake camshaft (LH): Rotate 80° clockwise. Exhaust camshaft (LH): Rotate 45° counterclockwise.
  2. Camshaft cap and variable valve timing solenoid valve assembly installation: Apply fluid packing sparingly to cap mating surface. NOTE: Do not apply fluid packing excessively. Failure to do so may cause excess packing to come out and flow toward the oil seal, resulting in oil leaks. Fluid packing: Part No. 004403007 THREE BOND 1215 or equivalent Apply engine oil to cap bearing surface and install the cap on camshaft as shown by identification mark (A). Gradually tighten the camshaft cap and oil control valve assembly in at least two stages in alphabetical sequence shown in the figure, and then tighten to specified torque. Tightening torque: T1: 10 N.m (1.0 kgf-m, 7 ft-lb) T2: 20 N.m (2.0 kgf-m, 14.5 ft-lb) Similarly, tighten cap on the exhaust side. After tightening cap, ensure the camshaft rotates only slightly while holding it at "base" circle. Tightening torque: T1: 10 N.m (1.0 kgf-m, 7 ft-lb) T2: 20 N.m (2.0 kgf-m, 14.5 ft-lb)
  3. Camshaft oil seal installation: Apply grease to new oil seal lips and press onto front end of camshaft by using ST1 and ST2. NOTE: Use a new oil seal. ST1 499587600 OIL SEAL GUIDE ST2 499597200 OIL SEAL GUIDE
  4. Rocker cover installation: Install the gasket on rocker cover. Install the peripheral gasket and ignition coil gasket. Apply fluid packing to the specified point of cylinder head. Fluid packing: Part No. 004403007 THREE BOND 1215 or equivalent Install the rocker cover on cylinder head. Ensure the gasket is properly positioned during installation. Tighten the rocker cover tightening bolt in alphabetical sequence shown in the figure, and then tighten to specified torque. Tightening torque: 6.4 N.m (0.65 kgf-m, 4.7 ft-lb)

  3. Measure the outside diameter of camshaft journal. If the journal diameter is not as specified, check the oil clearance.
  4. Measurement of the camshaft journal oil clearance: Clean the bearing caps and camshaft journals. Place the camshafts on cylinder head. (Without installing the valve rocker.) Place a plastigauge across each of the camshaft journals. Gradually tighten the cap in at least two stages in alphabetical sequence shown in the figure, and then tighten to specified torque. Do not turn the camshaft. Tightening torque: T1: 10 N.m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 ft-lb) T2: 20 N.m (2.0 kgf-m, 14.5 ft-lb) Remove the bearing caps. Measure the widest point of plastigauge on each journal. If the oil clearance exceeds the limit, replace the camshaft. If necessary, replace the camshaft caps and cylinder head as a set.
