• Wear working clothing, including a cap, protective goggles, and protective shoes during operation.
• Remove contamination including dirt and corrosion before removal, installation or disassembly.
• Keep the disassembled parts in order and protect them from dust or dirt.
• Before removal, installation or disassembly, be
sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary removal, installation, disassembly, and replacement.
• Be careful not to burn your hands, because each
part in the vehicle is hot after running.
• Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and
nuts to the specified torque.
• Place shop jacks or safety stands at the specified
points.
• Before disconnecting electrical connectors of
sensors or units, be sure to disconnect negative
terminal from battery.
• All parts should be thoroughly cleaned, paying
special attention to the engine oil passages, pistons and bearings.
• Rotating parts and sliding parts such as piston,
bearing and gear should be coated with oil prior to
assembly.
• Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant contact
the timing belt, clutch disc and flywheel.
• All removed parts, if to be reused, should be reinstalled in the original positions and directions.
• Bolts, nuts and washers should be replaced with
new ones as required.
• Even if necessary inspections have been made
in advance, proceed with assembly work while
making rechecks.
• Remove or install engine in an area where chain
hoists, lifting devices, etc. are available for ready
use.
• Be sure not to damage coated surfaces of body
panels with tools or stain seats and windows with
coolant or oil. Place a cover over fenders, as required, for protection.
• Prior to starting work, prepare the following:
Service tools, clean cloth, containers to catch coolant and oil, wire ropes, chain hoist, transmission
jacks, etc.
• Lift-up or lower the vehicle when necessary.
Make sure to support the correct positions.

2) Disconnect the brake vacuum hose and install
the vacuum gauge to the hose fitting on the manifold.
Diagnosis of engine condition by measurement of manifold vacuum
Vacuum gauge indicationPossible engine condition
1. Needle is steady but lower than normal position. This tendency becomes more evident as engine temperature rises.
2. When engine speed is reduced slowly from higher speed,
needle stops temporarily when it is lowering or becomes steady
above normal position.
3. Needle intermittently drops to position lower than normal
position.
4. Needle drops suddenly and intermittently from normal position.
5. When engine speed is gradually increased, needle begins to
vibrate rapidly at certain speed, and then vibration increases as
engine speed increases.
6. Needle vibrates above and below normal position in narrow
range.
3) Keep the engine at the idle speed and read the
vacuum gauge indication.
By observing the gauge needle movement, the internal condition of the engine can be diagnosed as
described below.

• Push the adjuster rod vertically.
• Be sure to slowly move the adjuster rod down

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 intake and exhaust valves down. (Under this condition, all valves remain unlifted.)
• When the camshafts are rotated to install tim-
ing belts, #2 intake and #4 exhaust cam of lefthand camshafts are held to push their corresponding valves down. (Under this condition,
these valves are held lifted.) Right-side camshafts are held so that their cams do not push
valves down.
• Left-hand camshafts must be rotated from
the “zero-lift” position to the position where
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.

1) Visually check oil seals for leaks, and rod ends
for abnormal wear or scratches. If necessary, replace the automatic belt tension adjuster assembly.
CAUTION:
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 lb) 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 lb), check it using
the following procedures:
(1) Slowly press the adjuster rod down to the
end surface of the cylinder. Repeat this motion 2
or 3 times.
(2) With the adjuster rod moved all the way up,
apply a pressure of 294 N (30 kgf, 66 lb) to it.
Check adjuster rod stiffness.
(3) 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 three minutes.
• Do not allow press pressure to exceed 9,807

• Press the adjuster rod as far as the end surface of the cylinder. Do not press the adjuster
rod into the cylinder. Doing so may damage the

CAUTION:
Arrange the camshaft caps in order so that they

19) Similarly, remove the right-hand camshafts and
related parts.
B: INSTALLATION
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.
CAUTION:
• 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.
• Right-hand camshaft need not be rotated
when set at position shown in the figure.
Left-hand intake camshaft: Rotate 80°°°° clockwise.
Left-hand exhaust camshaft: Rotate 45°°°° counterclockwise.

2) Camshaft cap and variable valve timing solenoid
valve assembly installation:
(1) Apply fluid packing sparingly to cap mating
surface.
CAUTION:
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:

(4) Similarly, tighten cap on the exhaust side.
After tightening cap, ensure the camshaft rotates only slightly while holding it at “base” circle.
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.

(2) Apply engine oil to cap bearing surface and
install the cap on camshaft as shown by identification mark (A).
(3) 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.
4) Rocker cover installation:
(1) Install the gasket on rocker cover.
Install the peripheral gasket and ignition coil
gasket.
(2) Apply fluid packing to four front open edges
of peripheral gasket.
