MECHANICAL(H4DOTC) > Camshaft

INSTALLATION

1. Install the camshaft.

Apply engine oil to the cylinder head at camshaft journal installation location before installing the camshaft. Install the camshaft so that each valve is close to or in contact with base circle of the cam lobe.

NOTE:

Set the camshaft to the position shown in the figure.

When set at the position shown in the figure, it is not necessary to rotate camshaft RH when installing the timing belt, but it is necessary to rotate camshaft LH slightly.

Intake camshaft LH:

Rotate 80° clockwise.

Exhaust camshaft LH:

Rotate 45° counterclockwise.

2. Install the camshaft cap.

(1) Apply small amount of liquid gasket to the mating surface of cap.

NOTE:

Install within 5 min. after applying liquid gasket.

Do not apply liquid gasket excessively. Applying excessively may cause excess gasket to come out and flow toward oil seal, resulting in oil leak.

Liquid gasket:

THREE BOND 1217G (Part No. K0877Y0100) or equivalent

(2) Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the cap journal surface, and install the camshaft cap to the camshaft.

(3) Gradually tighten the camshaft cap in at least two steps, in alphabetical order shown in the figure, and then tighten to the specified torque.

Tightening torque:

T1: 9.75 N·m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 ft-lb)

T2: 20 N·m (2.0 kgf-m, 14.8 ft-lb)

(4) After tightening the camshaft cap, ensure the camshaft rotates only slightly while holding it at base circle.

3. Apply a coat of engine oil to the camshaft oil seal periphery and oil seal lips, then install the oil seal on the camshaft using ST1 and ST2.

NOTE:

Use a new oil seal.

ST1    499587600 OIL SEAL INSTALLER
ST2    499597200 OIL SEAL GUIDE

4. Install the oil pipe to the front camshaft cap using the union screw without filter (without protrusion).

Tightening torque:

29 N·m (3.0 kgf-m, 21.4 ft-lb)

5. Similarly, install the parts on right-hand side.

6. Install the tensioner bracket.

Tightening torque:

24.5 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18.1 ft-lb)

7. Install the timing belt cover No. 2 RH.

Tightening torque:

5 N·m (0.5 kgf-m, 3.7 ft-lb)

8. Install the timing belt cover No. 2 LH.

Tightening torque:

5 N·m (0.5 kgf-m, 3.7 ft-lb)

9. Install the cam sprocket.

10. Install the timing belt.

11. Adjust the valve clearance.

12. Install the rocker cover.

(1) Install the rocker cover gasket to the rocker cover. (Outer periphery and ignition coil section)

NOTE:

Use a new rocker cover gasket.

(2) Apply liquid gasket to the specified point of the cylinder head.

NOTE:

Install within 5 min. after applying liquid gasket.

Liquid gasket:

THREE BOND 1217G (Part No. K0877Y0100) or equivalent

(3) Install the rocker cover on cylinder head. Ensure the gasket is properly positioned during installation.

(4) Temporarily tighten the rocker cover tightening bolt in alphabetical sequence shown in the figure, and then tighten to specified torque in alphabetical order.

Tightening torque:

6.4 N·m (0.7 kgf-m, 4.7 ft-lb)

13. Connect the PCV hose to the rocker cover.

14. Connect the connector to the oil flow control solenoid valve.

15. Tighten the ignition coil.

16. Install the timing belt cover.

17. Install the crank pulley.

18. Install the V-belts.
