NOTICE:
Do not use any tools to install the bolt. If the bolt is installed using a tool, the lock pin will be damaged.
(h) If the lock pin has not been released, release it.
(1) After cleaning and degreasing the intake side VVT oil hole on the
No. 1 camshaft bearing cap, completely seal the oil hole with
adhesive tape or equivalent as shown in the illustration to
prevent air from leaking.
Text in Illustration
*1 Adhesive Tape Sealing Area
*a Make a Hole
NOTICE:
Be sure to seal the oil hole completely because air leaks due to
insufficient sealing will prevent the lock pin from being released.
(2) Make a hole in the adhesive tape covering the oil hole as shown in the illustration. (Procedure A)
(3) Apply approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/ cm 2 , 29 psi) of air
pressure to the hole made in procedure A to release the lock pin.
NOTICE:
If air leaks out, reattach the adhesive tape.
Cover the oil hole with a piece of cloth when applying air pressure to
prevent oil from spraying.
(4) Forcibly turn the camshaft timing gear in the advance direction (counterclockwise).
HINT:
Depending on the air pressure applied, the camshaft timing gear may turn in the advance direction without
assistance by hand.
(5) Remove the adhesive tape from the No. 1 camshaft bearing cap.
(i) Using a wrench to hold the hexagonal portion of the No. 1 camshaft,
install the bolt.
Torque:
85 N·m {867 kgf·cm, 63ft·lbf}
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the cylinder head or spark plug tube with
the wrench.
