(2) Align single line mark (A) on the exhaust
camshaft sprocket (RH) with notch (B) on timing
belt cover.
(3) Align single line mark (A) on the intake cam-
shaft sprocket (RH) with notch (B) on timing belt
cover.
(Make sure double lines (C) on intake camshaft
and exhaust camshaft sprockets are aligned.)
(4) Align single line mark (A) on exhaust cam-
shaft sprocket (LH) with notch (B) on timing belt
cover by turning the sprocket counterclockwise
(as viewed from front of engine).
(5) Align the single line mark (A) on intake cam-
shaft sprocket (LH) with notch (B) on timing beltcover by turning the sprocket clockwise (as
viewed from front of engine).
Ensure the double lines (C) on intake and ex-
haust camshaft sprockets are aligned.
(6) Ensure the camshaft and crankshaft sprock-
ets are positioned properly.
CAUTION:
 Intake and exhaust camshafts for this DOHC
engine can be independently rotated with the
timing belts removed. As can be seen from the
figure, if the intake and exhaust valves are lifted
simultaneously, their heads will interfere with
each other, resulting in bent valves.

sembly, intake camshaft cap, and camshaft.
17) Loosen the exhaust camshaft cap bolts equal-
ly, a little at a time in alphabetical sequence shown
in the figure.

18) Remove the exhaust camshaft cap and cam-
shaft.
NOTE:
Arrange the camshaft caps in order so that they
can be installed in their original positions.
19) Similarly, remove the camshafts (RH) and re-
lated parts.B: INSTALLATION
1) Camshaft installation: Apply engine oil to cylin-
der head at camshaft bearing location before in-
stalling the camshaft. Install the camshaft so that
each valve is close to or in contact with “base circle”
of cam lobe.
NOTE:
 When the camshafts are positioned as shown in
the figure, camshafts need to be rotated at a mini-
mum to align with the timing belt during installation.
 Camshaft (RH) need not be rotated when set at
position shown in the figure. Intake camshaft (LH):
Rotate 80° clockwise. Exhaust camshaft (LH): Ro-
tate 45° counterclockwise.
2) Camshaft cap and oil flow control solenoid valve
assembly installation:
(1) Apply liquid gasket sparingly to cap mating
surface.
NOTE:
Do not apply liquid gasket excessively. Failure to
do so may cause excess packing to come out and
flow toward the oil seal, resulting in oil leaks.
