TIMING CHAIN
Removal and Installation
INFOID:0000000003531533
NOTE:
• To remove timing chain and associated parts, start with those on the LH bank. The procedure for removing parts on the RH bank is omitted because it is the same as that for removal on the LH bank.
• To install timing chain and associated parts, start with those on the RH bank. The procedure for installing parts on the LH bank is omitted because it is t he same as that for installation on the RH bank.

b. Apply liquid gasket as shown.Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
c. Check again that the timing alignment marks on the timing chain and on each sprocket are aligned. Then install the front cover.
d. Install the bolts in the numerical order shown.
e. After tightening, re-tighten to the specified torque. CAUTION:
Be sure to wipe off any excessive liquid gasket leaking onto
surface mating with oil pan.
11. Install the timing chain case cover RH bank (A) and timing chain case cover LH bank (B) as follows:
• *: Cross mark (c) that can not be seen after assembly
a. Apply liquid gasket (a) as shown. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
CAUTION:
The start and end of the appl ication of the liquid gasket
should be crossed at a position that cannot be seen after
attaching the chain case cover.
b. Install the bolts in the numerical order shown.
12. Install the crankshaft pulley. • Install the key of the crankshaft.
• Insert the pulley by lightly tapping it.
CAUTION:
Do not tap pulley on the side surface where th e belt is installed (outer circumference).
13. Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt. • Lock the crankshaft using suitable tool, then tighten the bolt.
• Perform the following steps for angular tightening:

CAMSHAFT
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while
checking.
a. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-80, "
Fuel Pressure Check".
b. Disconnect ignition coil and injector harness connectors if practical.
3. Remove IVT control solenoid valve.
4. Crank engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out from IVT control cover oil hole. End cranking
after checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive be lts, idler pulley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
• Engine oil may squirt from IVT control soleno id valve installation hole during cranking. Use a
shop cloth to prevent engine oil from splashin g on worker, engine components and vehicle.
• Do not allow engine oil to get on rubber compon ents such as drive belts or engine mount insula-
tors. Immediately wipe off any splashed engine oil.
5. Clean oil groove between oil strainer and IVT control solenoid valve if engine oil does not come out from IVT control valve cover oil hole. Refer to LU-7, "
Schematic".
6. Remove components between IVT control solenoid va lve and camshaft sprocket (INT), and then check
each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary.
7. After inspection, installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
Valve ClearanceINFOID:0000000003531536
INSPECTION
NOTE:
Perform the following inspection after removal, installation or replacement of camshaft or valve-related parts,
or if there are unusual engine conditions due to changes in valve clearance over time (starting, idling, and/or
noise).
1. Warm up the engine. Then stop the engine.
2. Remove the engine cover and. Refer to EM-12, "
Removal and Installation".
3. Remove the battery cover. Refer to SC-8, "
Removal and Installation".
4. Remove the air cleaner and air duct assembly EM-15, "
Removal and Installation".
5. Remove the RH bank and LH bank rocker covers using power tool. Refer to EM-35, "
Removal and Instal-
lation".
6. Turn the crankshaft pulley in the normal direction (clockwise when viewed from engine front) to align TDC identification notch
(without paint mark) with timing indicator.
