CAUTION:
To avoid power steering fluid leakage, temporarily fix reservoir tank of power steering oil pump
vertically.
5. Remove intake valve timing control cover with the following procedure:
a. Disconnect intake valve timing control solenoid valve harness connector.
b. Disconnect ground cables and remove harness clip.
c. Remove intake valve timing control solenoid valve, if necessary.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
6. Pull chain guide between camshaft sprockets out through front cover.
7. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC on its compression stroke with the following procedure:
a. Remove splash guard (RH).
b. Rotate crankshaft pulley clockwise and align TDC mark to timing
indicator on front cover.
c. At the same time, make sure that the mating marks on camshaft
sprockets are located as shown in the figure.

If not, rotate crankshaft pulley one more turn to align mating
marks to the positions in the figure.

4. Crank the engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out
from intake valve timing control cover oil hole. End crank after
checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belt, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
Engine oil may squirt from intake valve timing control sole-
noid valve installation hole during cranking. Use a shop
cloth to prevent the engine components and the vehicle. Do
not allow engine oil to get on rubber components such as
drive belt or engine mount insulators. Immediately wipe off
any splashed engine oil.

Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve if engine oil does not
come out from intake valve timing control cover oil hole. Refer to LU-5, "
LUBRICATION SYSTEM" .
5. Remove components between intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),
and then check each oil groove for clogging.

Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-5, "LUBRICATION SYSTEM" .
6. After inspection, install removed parts.
Valve ClearanceBBS00596
INSPECTION
Perform inspection as follows after removal, installation or replacement of camshaft or valve-related parts, or if
there is unusual engine conditions regarding valve clearance.
1. Remove rocker cover. Refer to EM-39, "
ROCKER COVER" .
2. Open splash guard on RH undercover.
3. Measure the valve clearance with the following procedure:
a. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC of its compression stroke.

Rotate crankshaft pulley clockwise and align TDC mark to
timing indicator on front cover.

At the same time, make sure that both intake and exhaust
cam noses of No. 1 cylinder face outside as shown in the fig-
ure.

If they do not face outside, rotate crankshaft pulley once more
(360 degrees) and align as shown in the figure.
