• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl
uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants"
.
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-
age at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner dr ops after removal and 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.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leak age of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.

CAUTION:
• After removing timing chain, do not turn the crankshaft and camshaft separately, or the valves will
strike the pistons.
• When installing camshafts, chain tensioners, oil seal s, or other sliding parts, lubricate contacting
surfaces with new engine oil.
• Apply new engine oil to bolt threads and seat su rfaces when installing camshaft sprockets, camshaft
brackets, and crankshaft pulley.
• Before disconnecting fuel hose, release fuel pressure. Refer to FL-5, "Inspection"

CAMSHAFT
• Using inside micrometer, measure diameter of valve lifter bore of
cylinder head. Refer to EM-247, "Camshaft"
EM-247, "Camshaft".
• If out of the specified range, replace the cylinder head assembly.
Calculation of Valve Lifter Clearance
• (Valve lifter clearance) = (hole diameter for valve li fter) – (outer diameter of valve lifter) Refer to EM-247,
"Camshaft".
• If out of specified range, replace either or both valve lifter and cylinder head assembly.
Inspection after InstallationINFOID:0000000009460570
INSPECTION OF CAMSHAFT SPROCKET (INT) OIL GROOVE
WARNING:
• Check when engine is cold so as to pr event burns from any splashing engine oil.
CAUTION:
• Perform this inspection only when DTC P0011 is detected in self-diagnostic results of CONSULT and
it is directed according to inspection procedure of EC section. Refer to EC-716, "Diagnosis Proce-
dure".
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to MA-26, "ENGINE OIL : Inspection"
.
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while
checking.
a. Release fuel pressure. Refer to FL-5, "Inspection"
.
b. Disconnect ignition coil and injector harness connectors if practical.
3. Remove intake valve timing control solenoid valve.
4. Crank engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out from intake valve timing control solenoid valve cover oil hole.
End cranking after checking.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belts, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
• Engine oil may squirt from intake valve timing control solenoid valve installation hole during cranking. Use a
shop cloth to prevent engi ne oil from splashing on
worker, engine components and vehicle.
• Do not allow engine oil to get on rubber components such
as drive belts or engine mount insulators. I mmediately wipe off any splashed engine oil.
5. 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 solenoid valve cover oil hole.
6. Remove components between intake valve timing c ontrol solenoid valve 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.

CYLINDER HEAD
1. To remove valve guide, heat cylinder head to 110
° to 130 °C
(230 ° to 266 °F) by soaking in heated oil.
WARNING:
Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protective
equipment to avoid getting burned.
2. Drive out the valve guide with a press [under a 20 kN (2.2 US ton) pressure] or hammer and suitable tool.
3. Ream cylinder head valve guide hole.
4. Heat cylinder head to 110 ° to 130 °C (230 ° to 266 °F) by soaking
in heated oil and press new valve guide from camshaft side into
the cylinder head to the dimensions as shown.
WARNING:
Cylinder head contains heat . When working, wear protec-
tive equipment to avo id getting burned.
