c. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with tube presser [SST:
WS39930000] to intake valve timing control cover as shown in
the figure.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
d. Tighten mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in the fig-
ure.
e. Install intake valve timing control solenoid valves to intake valve timing control cover if removed.
f. Connect ground cables, and install harness clip.
10. Insert crankshaft pulley by aligning with crankshaft key.

When inserting crankshaft pulley with plastic hammer, tap on its center portion (not circumference).
CAUTION:
Install protecting front oil seal lip section from any damage.
11. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt with the following procedure.

Secure crankshaft pulley with pulley holder [SST: KV10109300], and tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
a. Apply new engine oil to thread and seat surfaces of crankshaft pulley bolt.
b. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
c. Put a paint mark on crankshaft pulley, mating with any one of six
easy to recognize angle marks on bolt flange.
d. Turn another 60 degrees clockwise (angle tightening).

Check the tightening angle with movement of one angle mark.
12. Install all removed parts in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in the guide may
generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after
hydraulic pressure rises.

Removal and Installation of Valve Oil SealBBS00598
REMOVAL
1. Remove camshafts. Refer to EM-41, "CAMSHAFT" .
2. Remove valve lifters. Refer to EM-41, "
CAMSHAFT" .
3. Rotate crankshaft, and set piston whose valve oil seal is to be removed to TDC. This will prevent valve
from dropping into cylinder.
CAUTION:
When rotating crankshaft, be careful to avoid scarring front cover with timing chain.
4. Remove valve collet.

Compress valve spring with valve spring compressor, attach-
ment and adapter (SST). Remove valve collet with magnet
hand.
CAUTION:
When working, be careful not to damage valve lifter holes.
5. Remove valve spring retainer and valve spring (with valve spring seat).
CAUTION:
Do not remove valve spring seat from valve spring.
6. Remove valve oil seal with valve oil seal puller (SST).
INSTALLATION
1. Apply new engine oil to new valve oil seal joint surface and seal lip.
2. Press in valve oil seal to the height “H” shown in the figure with
valve oil seal drift (SST).
3. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolts Outer Diameter

Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between “d1” and “d2”
exceeds the limit, replace them with a new one.

If reduction of outer diameter appears in a position other than
“d2”, use it as “d2” point.
NOTE:
When replacing any cylinder head bolts, it is possible to use them
with mixing flange bolt and bolt with washer.
Cylinder Head Distortion
NOTE:
When performing this inspection, cylinder block distortion should be also checking. Refer to EM-102, "
CYLIN-
DER BLOCK DISTORTION" .
1. Wipe off engine oil and remove water scale (like deposit), gasket, sealant, carbon, etc. with scraper.
CAUTION:
Use utmost care not to allow gasket debris to enter passages for engine oil or engine coolant.
2. At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head,
measure the distortion in six directions.

If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head.Bolt with washer

Removal and InstallationBBS004VZ
NOTE:

This section describes removal/installation procedure of front timing chain case and timing chain related
parts without removing oil pan (upper) on vehicle.

When oil pan (upper) needs to be removed or installed, or when rear timing chain case is removed or
installed, remove oil pans (lower and upper) first. Then remove front timing chain case, timing chain
related parts, and rear timing chain case in this order, and install in the reverse order of removal. Refer to
EM-173, "
TIMING CHAIN" .

Refer to EM-173, "TIMING CHAIN" for component parts location.
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine cover. Refer to EM-133, "INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
2. Remove air duct (inlet), air cleaner case (upper) with mass air flow sensor and air duct assembly. Refer to

CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine oil on drive belts.
6. Drain engine coolant from radiator. Refer to CO-34, "
Changing Engine Coolant" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
7. Remove intake manifold collectors (upper and lower). Refer to EM-133, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLEC-
TOR" .
8. Remove drive belts. Refer to EM-128, "
DRIVE BELTS" .
9. Remove alternator. Refer to SC-27, "
CHARGING SYSTEM" .
10. Remove power steering oil pump from bracket with piping connected, and temporarily secure it to aside.
Refer to PS-29, "
POWER STEERING OIL PUMP" .
11. Remove power steering oil pump bracket. Refer to PS-29, "
POWER STEERING OIL PUMP" .
12. Remove idler pulley and bracket. Refer to EM-173, "
TIMING CHAIN" .
13. Separate engine harnesses removing their brackets from front timing chain case.
14. Remove rocker covers (right and left bank). Refer to EM-160, "
ROCKER COVER" .
NOTE:
When only timing chain (primary) is removed, rocker cover does not need to be removed.
15. Obtain No. 1 cylinder at TDC of its compression stroke as follows:
NOTE:
When timing chain is not removed/installed, this step is not required.
a. Rotate crankshaft pulley clockwise to align timing mark (grooved
line without color) with timing indicator.

FRONT TIMING CHAIN CASE

b. Make sure that intake and exhaust cam noses on No. 1 cylinder
(engine front side of right bank) are located as shown in the fig-
ure.

If not, turn crankshaft one revolution (360 degrees) and align
as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
When only timing chain (primary) is removed, rocker cover does
not need to be removed. To make sure that No. 1 cylinder is at
its compression TDC, remove front timing chain case first. Then
check mating marks on camshaft sprockets. Refer to EM-181,
"INSTALLATION" .
16. Remove crankshaft pulley as follows:
a. Fix crankshaft with pulley holder (SST).
b. Loosen crankshaft pulley bolt and locate bolt seating surface at
10 mm (0.39 in) from its original position.
CAUTION:
Do not remove crankshaft pulley bolt as it will be used as a
supporting point for suitable puller.
c. Place suitable puller tab on holes of crankshaft pulley, and pull
crankshaft pulley through.
CAUTION:
Do not put suitable puller tab on crankshaft pulley periph-
ery, as this will damage internal damper.
17. Remove oil pan (lower). Refer to EM-145, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
18. Loosen two mounting bolts in front of oil pan (upper) in the
reverse order as shown in the figure.
19. Install oil pan (lower) temporarily.

Applying liquid gasket is unnecessary.
20. Support the oil pan (lower) bottom with jack.
