7. Remove exhaust manifold cover (lower) and three way catalyst cover from exhaust manifold and three
way catalyst assembly. .
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Surface Distortion

Using straightedge and feeler gauge, check the surface distor-
tion of exhaust manifold and three way catalyst assembly mating
surface.

If it exceeds the limit, replace exhaust manifold and three way
catalyst assembly.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Exhaust Manifold

If stud bolts were removed, install them and tighten to the specified torque below.

Tighten nuts in numerical order as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
No. 6 and 7 mean double tightening of bolts No. 1 and 3.
Heated Oxygen Sensor
CAUTION:

Before installing a new heated oxygen sensor, clean exhaust system threads using heated oxygen
sensor thread cleaner and apply anti-seize lubricant (commercial service tool).

Do not over torque the heated oxygen sensor. Doing so may cause damage to the heated oxygen
sensor, resulting in the “MI” coming on.

shaft sprocket mounting bolts and remove camshaft sprockets.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft or camshaft while timing chain is
removed. It causes interference between valve and piston.
NOTE:
Chain tension holding work is not necessary. Crankshaft
sprocket and timing chain do not disconnect structurally while
front cover is attached.
8. Remove camshaft position sensor (PHASE) from cylinder head back side.
CAUTION:

Handle carefully to avoid dropping and shocks.

Do not disassemble.

Do not allow metal powder to adhere to magnetic part at sensor tip.

Do not place sensor in a location where it is exposed to magnetism.

Identify installation positions, and store them without mixing them up.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Camshaft Runout
1. Put V-block on a precise flat table, and support No. 2 and 5 jour-
nal of camshaft.
2. Set dial gauge vertically to No. 3 journal.
3. Turn camshaft to one direction with hands, and measure the
camshaft runout on dial gauge. (Total indicator reading)
4. If out of the standard, replace camshaft.

Measure the diameter of valve lifter hole of cylinder head with an
inside micrometer. .
VALVE LIFTER CLEARANCE

(Valve lifter clearance) = (Valve lifter hole diameter) – (Valve
lifter outer diameter)
