Caution
•  When rotating the camshaft using a wrench on the cast hexagon, the wrench may contact the rocker arm and damage the rocker arm. To prevent damage to the rocker arm when holding the camshaft on the cast hexagon, use a wrench on the rear side of the engine as shown in the figure to secure a clearance between the cam.

Timing Chain Removal Note

Caution
•  Keep the timing chain and camshaft sprocket pulled up during and after the work in which it has been set aside from the exhaust camshaft. If the chain falls down, it may disengage from the sprocket on the crankshaft side and deviate, leading to valve timing deviation.
•  After servicing, always verify the valve timing.

1.  Release the tension on the timing chain using the following procedure:

Note
•  Release the tension on the timing chain by securing the plunger of the timing chain tensioner through the service hole on the engine front cover.
(1)  Remove the blind plug on the engine front cover service hole.
ac5wzw00005863
(2)  Insert a wire with an approx. diameter of 1.4 mm {0.055 in} or a paper clip into the body hole of the timing chain tensioner through the service hole.
ac5wzw00005864
Note
•  Before pressing the plunger of the timing chain tensioner, insert the wire or paper clip approx. 22.5 mm {0.886 in} from the engine front cover.
(3)  While moving the exhaust camshaft in the direction of the arrow using a wrench on the cast hexagon, press on the plunger of the timing chain tensioner.
ac5jjw00004551
Note
•  By rotating the exhaust camshaft clockwise, the timing chain can be pulled slightly and the timing chain presses in the tensioner plunger.
ac5wzw00005039
(4)  Press on the wire set in Step 2 or paper clip further with the plunger pressed.
ac5wzw00005865
Note
•  While the plunger of the timing chain tensioner is pressed, the wire or paper clip can be inserted further to approx. 8 mm {0.3 in}.
•  The wire or paper clip secures the plunger, and the tension can be released.

2.  Rotate the crankshaft clockwise so that cylinder No.1 is positioned at top dead center (TDC) as shown in the figure.

ac5wzw00005866

3.  Place a paint mark on the engine front cover and crankshaft pulley so that the valve timing can be verified when assembling.

ac5wzw00005867

Note
•  The position in while the paint mark is placed is not restricted. The marked position is fine as long as visual verification is possible after assembly.

4.  Temporarily install the cylinder head cover bolt to the position shown in the figure to use it for suspending the timing chain and camshaft sprocket.

ac5wzw00005868

5.  Hold the exhaust camshaft using a wrench on the cast hexagon and remove the camshaft sprocket installation bolt.

ac5jjw00004445

6.  Separate the camshaft sprocket and the exhaust camshaft while the timing chain is hung on the camshaft sprocket.

ac5wzw00005869

7.  Pull up the camshaft sprocket using a rope while the timing chain is hung on the camshaft sprocket and pulled it up as shown in the figure.

ac5wzw00006593


Camshaft Removal Note

1.  Loosen the camshaft cap bolts in two or three passes in the order shown in the figure, and remove the camshaft caps.

ac5uuw00008450

2.  Remove the camshafts.


Rocker Arm Removal Note

1.  Keep the rocker arms in the order of removal to enable reassembly in their original positions.


HLA Removal Note

1.  Keep the HLAs in the order of removal to enable reassembly in their original positions.


HLA Installation Note

1.  Perform HLA air bleeding using the following procedure.

(1)  Put the HLA in a container filled with engine oil.
Caution
•  Do not insert the round bar firmly because the check ball spring force is extremely weak.
(2)  While lightly pressing the check ball using a round bar (approx. 1.0 mm {0.039 in} diameter), bleed air by moving the plunger up and down.
ac5wzw00007264
(3)  Press the end of the plunger in the oil and verify that there is no rebounding feel.
•  If rebounding feel cannot be eliminated, replace the HLA.

2.  Visually inspect the HLA surface where it contacts the rocker arm for wear or damage.

•  If there is any malfunction, replace the HLA.
ac5wzw00006596

3.  Assemble the HLAs to their original positions.


Rocker Arm Installation Note

1.  Apply engine oil to the HLAs and the end of the valve stems.

ac8wzw00002517

2.  Install the rocker arms to the same positions as before removal.


Camshaft Installation Note

1.  Apply gear oil (SAE 90 or equivalent) or engine oil to the following locations.

•  Each journal of the cylinder head
•  Needle roller bearing of the rocker arm
ac5uuw00008451

2.  Apply gear oil (SAE 90 or equivalent) or engine oil to the thrust surface (both surfaces front and back) of the front journal on each camshaft.

Note
•  If oil is applied to the front camshaft cap, oil should not be applied to the thrust surface of the front journal.

3.  Place the camshaft on the cylinder head and align the alignment marks for each gear as shown in the figure.

ac5wzw00009532

4.  As shown in the figure, apply gear oil (SAE 90 or equivalent) or engine oil to the center area of each journal of the camshaft.

ac5uuw00008452

Caution
•  Do not spill sealant agent on the journal.
•  Apply sealant in a single, unbroken line to prevent a seal malfunction.

5.  Apply sealant (LOCTITE 962T, 518, 272 or equivalent) to the rear side of the cylinder head or rear camshaft cap along the application line shown in the figure.

Note
•  The permissible range of sealant protrusion is within the shaded areas shown in the figure.
•  To prevent engine oil leakage, seal the journal by applying sealant to the rear side of the cylinder head or rear camshaft cap.
