Notice:

Do not turn the valve.

  1. Check the valve face and seat in accordance with the following procedure.
  1. If blue appears 360° around the face, the valve is concentric. If not, replace the valve.
  2. If blue appears 360° around the valve seat, the guide and face are concentric. If not, resurface the valve seat (see page em-87).
  3. Check that the seat contact is in the middle of the valve face with a width.

  1. Inspect camshaft timing gear assembly


  1. Check the lock of the camshaft timing gear.
  1. Clamp the camshaft in a vise, and confirm that the camshaft timing gear is locked.

Notice:

Be careful not to damage the camshaft.

  1. Release the lock pin.
  1. Cover the 4 oil paths of the cam journal with vinyl tape as shown in the illustration.

Hint:

The 2 advance side paths are provided in the groove of the camshaft. Plug one of the paths with a rubber piece.

  1. Break through the tape of the advance side path and the retard side path on the opposite side of the groove.
  2. Apply approximately 200 kpa (2.0 Kgf/cm2, 28 psi) of air pressure to the paths whose tape was broken in the procedure above.

Caution:

Some oil spraying will occur. Contain the spray with a shop rag.

  1. Check that the camshaft timing gear revolves in the advance direction when weakening the air pressure of the retard side path.

Ok:

Gear rotates in advance direction.

Hint:

This operation releases the lock pin for the extreme retard position.

  1. When the camshaft timing gear reaches the extreme advance position, remove the air gun from the retard side path and advance side path, in that order.

Notice:

Do not remove the air gun from the advance side path first. The gear may abruptly shift in the retard direction and break the lock pin.

  1. Check for smooth rotation.
  1. Rotate the camshaft timing gear within its movable range several times, but do not turn it to the extreme retard position. Check that the gear rotates smoothly.

Ok:

Gear rotates smoothly.

Notice:

Do not use an air gun to perform the smooth operation check.

  1. Check the lock in the extreme retard position.
  1. Confirm that the camshaft timing gear is locked at the extreme retard position.
