REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS



<<A>> PLUG CAP REMOVAL



Remove the plug cap using a wrench fitted on the hexagonal portion of the camshaft.

<<B>> TIMING BELT REMOVAL


1.By turning the crankshaft, position the No.1 cylinder at the Top Dead Center of the compression stroke.

2.If the timing belt is to be reused, it is necessary to install it in the same direction as it was before. Mark an arrow that shows the direction of rotation on the back surface of the timing belt with chalk, etc.

<<C>> V.V.T. SPROCKET BOLT REMOVAL



Remove the V.V.T. sprocket bolt using a wrench fitted on the hexagonal portion of the camshaft.

<<D>> CAMSHAFT SPROCKET BOLT REMOVAL



Remove the camshaft sprocket bolt using a wrench fitted on the hexagonal portion of the camshaft.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS



>>A<< CAMSHAFT SPROCKET BOLT INSTALLATION



Tighten the camshaft sprocket bolt to 88 ± 10 N·m while preventing the camshaft from rotation using a wrench fitted on the hexagonal portion of the camshaft.

>>B<< V.V.T. SPROCKET BOLT/V.V.T. SPROCKET INSTALLATION



1.Apply a proper minimum quantity of engine oil to the following points.

  • Camshaft end
  • Insertion hole in V.V.T. sprocket (all over inside and outside surfaces)
  • Threads and head of V.V.T. sprocket bolt
  • Bearing surface of V.V.T. sprocket bolt
2.Install the V.V.T. sprocket onto the camshaft.
3.Make sure that the V.V.T. sprocket is installed all the way onto the camshaft. Holding the hexagonal portion of the camshaft with a wrench, check that the V.V.T. sprocket does not turn.

4.Holding the hexagonal portion of the camshaft with a wrench, tighten the V.V.T. sprocket bolt to a specified torque of 55 ± 5 N·m.
5.Holding the hexagonal portion of the camshaft with a wrench, check that the V.V.T. sprocket is not loose to turn.
note This check is to ascertain that the V.V.T. sprocket is locked at the most retarding position by means of internal pin.

>>C<< CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET/SPACER/SENSING BLADE INSTALLATION



1.Clean the hole in the crankshaft sprocket.
2.Clean and degrease the mating surfaces of the crankshaft sprocket and spacer; sensing blade; crankshaft sprocket; and oil pump case.
note Degreasing is necessary to prevent decrease in friction between the mating surfaces due to presence of oil.

3.Assemble the crankshaft sprocket and sensing blade, projection to slot, as shown.

4.Align the pins to the pin holes and apply even pressure in the arrow direction.
5.
caution When installing the sprocket, do not bend the sensing blade.
Install the crankshaft sprocket onto the crankshaft.

>>D<< AUTO-TENSIONER INSTALLATION




1.If the auto-tensioner rod remains in its fully extended position, reset it to the retracted position as follows:
(1) Clamp the auto-tensioner in a vise at right angles to the jaws.
(2)
caution Because the leak down of the auto-tensioner takes a long time, slowly insert the rod. If the rod is suddenly inserted, the auto-tensioner could be damaged.
Push in the rod little by little with the vise until the set hole A in the rod is aligned with the set hole B in the cylinder.
(3) Insert a piece of wire (1.4 mm diameter) into the set holes.
(4) Remove the auto-tensioner from the vise.
2.Install the auto-tensioner in position. Leave the wire installed until the auto-tensioner is completely installed.

>>E<< TENSIONER PULLEY INSTALLATION



Install the tensioner pulley onto the tensioner arm, with the machined holes facing in front as shown.

>>F<< TIMING BELT INSTALLATION


1.For aligning the timing marks on the camshaft sprocket and V.V.T. sprocket, install the rocker cover temporarily.

2.Align the timing mark on the camshaft sprocket.

3.Align the timing mark on the V.V.T. sprocket.

4.Align the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket.
5.First fit the timing belt onto the crankshaft sprocket.
6.Fit the timing belt onto the idler pulley.

7.Fit the timing belt onto the camshaft sprocket, and bind it with paper clip in the illustrated shown in the illustration.

8.Fit the timing belt onto the V.V.T. sprocket, and bind it with paper clip in the position shown in the illustration.

9.Fit the timing belt onto the tensioner pulley.
note To make belt installation easier, turn the V.V.T. sprocket a little counter-clockwise.

10.Using the special tool of tensioner pulley socket (MD998767), apply the tension to the timing belt by turning the tensioner pulley counterclockwise, then temporally tighten the fixing bolt of the tensioner pulley and fix the tensioner pulley firmly.
11.Turn the crankshaft a quarter turn counter-clockwise, then turn it clockwise to align the timing marks.

12.Install the special tool Set screw (MD998738) in position and drive it in to such an extent that the wire inserted when the auto tensioner was installed lightly moves.

13.
caution The timing belt is loosened with the rotation of the intake and exhaust camshafts. Take care that the timing belt does not slip out of place.
Loosen the lock bolt holding the tensioner pulley.
14.Turn the torque wrench attached to the special tool Tensioner pulley socket (MD998767) counter-clockwise until the slack in the timing belt is taken up.
15.Torque to 0.8 N·m with the torque wrench.
16.Check that all the timing marks are in alignment.
17.Remove the special tool Set screw (MD998738) installed at step 12.
18.Give the crankshaft two turns clockwise, and leave it in that state for approximately 15 minutes.

19.Check to see if the wire inserted when the auto tensioner was installed can be easily pulled out. If so, the belt tension is optimal and the wire may be removed. Alternatively, if the protrusion of the auto tensioner rod is within the specified range of standard values, the belt tension is optimal.
Standard value: 4.8 - 5.5 mm
20.
caution When the crankshaft bolt was turned counter-clockwise, be sure to check its tightening torque. If the bolt is loose, retighten it.
If the wire cannot be easily removed, repeat the steps from 12 to 18 above for proper tension of the belt.
21. Finally, remove the temporarily installed rocker cover.

>>G<< PLUG CAP INSTALLATION


1.
caution Do not reuse washer.
Replace washer on the plug cap.

2.Holding the hexagonal portion of the camshaft with a wrench, tighten the plug cap to a specified torque of 21 ± 3 N·m.

>>H<< ROCKER COVER INSTALLATION


1.Completely remove existing form-in-place gasket from the rocker cover and cylinder head.

2.Apply beads of FIPG on the surfaces of the rocker cover indicated in the illustration.
Specified sealant:
    Three bond 1212D or equivalent

3.Install the rocker cover to the cylinder head before the FIPG hardens, and tighten the each bolt to 5.0 ± 1.0 N·m in the order (1-14) shown.
4.After tightening of step 3, tighten the each bolt to 7.0 ± 1.0 N·m in the order (1-10) shown.
