camshaft must be kept leveled while it is being installed. If
the camshaft is not kept leveled, the portion of the cylinder
head receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged,
causing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the
following steps should be carried out.
(a) Remove the intake camshaft.
(1) Align the timing marks (2 dot marks) of the camshaft
drive and driven gears by turning the camshaft with
a wrench.

REPLACEMENT
1. REPLACE VALVE GUIDE BUSHINGS
(a) Gradually heat the cylinder head to 80 - 100°C (176 -
212°F).
(b) Using SST and a hammer, tap out the guide bushing.
SST 09201-01055, 09950-70010 (09951-07100)
(c) Using a caliper gauge, measure the bushing bore diame-
ter of the cylinder head.
(d) Select a new guide bushing (STD or O/S 0.05).
If the bushing bore diameter of the cylinder head is greater than
10.313 mm (0.4060 in.), machine the bushing bore to the fol-
lowing dimension:
10.345 - 10.363 mm (0.4073 - 0.4080 in.)
If the bushing bore diameter of the cylinder head is greater than
10.363 mm (0.4080 in.), replace the cylinder head.
HINT:
Different bushings are used for the intake and exhaust.
(e) Gradually heat the cylinder head to 80 - 100°C (176 -
212°F).

EM-42) between the guide bushing and valve stem.
2. REPLACE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR (VVT-i)
NOTICE:
Do not remove or install the camshaft timing gear (VVT-i)
beside changing VVT-i or the camshaft.
(a) Mount the hexagon wrench head portion of the camshaft
in a vise.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the camshaft.
(b) Using a 46 mm socket wrench, remove the lock nut by
turning it clockwise.
NOTICE:
Remove it under the condition that the lock pin is op-
erated and lock at the maximum delay angle position.
The lock nut have LH threads.
Never use any tool other than the socket wrench,
otherwise that may result in deforming the cam angle
rotor portion.
(c) Remove the camshaft VVT-i.
HINT:
In case of having difficulty to remove VVT-i, apply a slight hit-
