  2. Crankshaft and cam sprocket alignment Align mark (A) on the crank sprocket with mark on the oil pump cover at cylinder block. see scheme 90: Identifying Crank Sprocket And Oil Pump Cover Mark Align single line mark (A) on the exhaust cam sprocket (RH) with notch (B) on timing belt cover. (Scheme 573): Identifying Exhaust Cam Sprocket (RH) Mark And Timing Belt Cover Notch Align single line mark (A) on the intake cam sprocket (RH) with notch (B) on timing belt cover. (Make sure double lines (C) on intake camshaft and exhaust cam sprockets are aligned.) (Scheme 574): Identifying Intake Cam Sprocket (RH) Mark And Timing Belt Cover Notch Align single line mark (A) on exhaust cam sprocket (LH) with notch (B) on timing belt cover by turning the sprocket counterclockwise (as viewed from front of engine). (Scheme 575): Identifying Exhaust Cam Sprocket (LH) Mark And Timing Belt Cover Notch Align the single line mark (A) on intake cam 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 cam sprockets are aligned. (Scheme 576): Identifying Intake Cam Sprocket (LH) Mark And Timing Belt Cover Notch Ensure the camshaft and crank 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. (Scheme 577): Identifying Intake And Exhaust Camshafts 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 by the upper illustration in the figure as this causes both intake and exhaust valves to lift simultaneously, resulting in interference with their heads. (Scheme 578): Identifying Timing Belt Rotating Direction And Installation Position
  3. Installation of tinning 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. (Scheme 579): Identifying Correct Belt's Rotating Direction
  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. (Scheme 580): Identifying Belt Idlers
  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. CAUTION: Before installing the bolts, clean the threaded portion of timing belt cover. Apply liquid gasket to the threaded portion of bolts. (Cam sprocket side only) Liquid gasket: THREE BOND 1324 (Part No. 004403042) or equivalent 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) (Scheme 581): Identifying Clearance Between Timing Belt And Timing Belt Guide (1 Of 4) (Scheme 582): Identifying Clearance Between Timing Belt And Timing Belt Guide (2 Of 4) (Scheme 583): Identifying Clearance Between Timing Belt And Timing Belt Guide (3 Of 4) (Scheme 584): Identifying Clearance Between Timing Belt And Timing Belt Guide (4 Of 4) Tighten the bolts.

  1. Visually check the oil seals for leaks, and rod ends for abnormal wear or scratches. If necessary, replace the automatic belt tension adjuster assembly. NOTE: Slight traces of oil at rod's oil seal does not indicate a problem.
  2. Check that the adjuster rod does not move when a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lbf) is applied to it. This is to check adjuster rod stiffness.
  3. If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves freely when applying 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lbf), check it using the following procedures: Slowly press the adjuster rod down to the end surface of the cylinder. Repeat this motion 2 or 3 times. With the adjuster rod moved all the way up, apply a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lbf) to it. Check the adjuster rod stiffness. If the adjuster rod is not stiff and moves down, replace the automatic belt tension adjuster assembly with a new one. CAUTION: 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. 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 lbf). Press the adjuster rod till the end of the surface of the cylinder. Do not press the adjuster rod into the cylinder. Doing so may damage the cylinder.

  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. see scheme 122: Identifying Camshaft Position
  2. Camshaft cap and oil flow control solenoid valve assembly installation Apply liquid gasket sparingly to cap mating surface. NOTE: Do not apply liquid gasket excessively. Failure to do so may cause excess gasket to come out and flow toward the oil seal, resulting in oil leaks. Liquid gasket: Part No. 004403007 THREE BOND 1215 or equivalent see scheme 123: Applying Liquid Gasket To Cap Mating Surface Apply engine oil to cap bearing surface and install the cap on camshaft. 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.

DISPOSAL

CAUTIONMetallic sodium is enclosed in the exhaust valve. Metallic sodium is extremely alkaline and may produce severe chemical reactions. Full consideration must therefore be given to the following points when handling or disposing of the valve. Since metallic sodium may cause blindness if contacted with the eyes, burns if contacted with the skin, and fire, do not deliberately take the valve apart.

If the valve is damaged, remove the valve and neutralize it by immersing it in water, and dispose of it in the same way that general steel materials are disposed of. The disposal method is described in the following.

Scheme 640

Scheme 640
  1. Wearing rubber gloves, remove the damaged valve from the cylinder head.
  2. Prepare a large receptacle (bucket or other container) in a well ventilated location, and fill the receptacle with water (at least 10 l (21.14 US qt, 17.6 Imp qt)).
  3. Immerse the damaged valve in the receptacle. CAUTION: A severe reaction may occur, so stand at least 2 - 3 m from the receptacle. Because the reaction will produce hydrogen gas, moreover, keep the receptacle away from sparks or flames.
  4. Once the reaction is completed (about 4 - 5 hours have elapsed), carefully remove the valve using large pincers so that the reaction liquid does not contact your skin, and dispose of it with other parts that are being disposed of.
  5. The reaction liquid is a strong alkaline solution, so it must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. CAUTION: Make sure the reaction liquid does not contact your skin. If contact with skin occurs, immediately wash the affected area with large quantities of water. (Scheme 624): Immersion Of Damaged Valve In The Receptacle
