  1. Install gear spring, sub-gear and wave washer. Refer to Figure . Align pin on gear with gear spring's ends. Install snap ring. Install pins "A" and "B" in sub-gear. See Figure . Using screwdriver, rotate sub-gear clockwise and install pin "C".
  2. To install exhaust camshaft, lubricate thrust area of camshaft with multipurpose grease. Install exhaust camshaft so No. 1 and No. 3 cylinder cam lobes push on valve lifters evenly. Install camshaft bearing caps on cylinder head.
    CAUTION: Ensure arrow on camshaft bearing cap points toward timing belt end of engine. Install caps so that numbers are in order.
  3. Tighten both bolts on each camshaft bearing cap evenly in sequence. See Fig 1 . Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table at end of article.

    CAUTION: DO NOT confuse TDC marks with camshaft aligning marks. During camshaft installation, ensure installing marks, NOT TDC marks, are aligned.
  5. To install intake camshaft, rotate exhaust camshaft so knock pin is slightly above cylinder head surface. See Fig 2 . Lubricate thrust area of camshaft with multipurpose grease. Install intake camshaft so installing marks on camshaft gears are aligned.
  6. Install all camshaft bearing caps, except No. 1, on cylinder head. Tighten both bolts on each camshaft bearing cap in sequence. See Figure . Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table at end of article.
    CAUTION: Ensure arrow on camshaft bearing cap points toward timing belt end of engine. Install bearing caps so that numbers are in order.
  7. Remove bolt from service bolt hole. See Figure . Install No. 1 bearing cap. If No. 1 camshaft bearing cap does not fit properly, push camshaft gear backward while installing camshaft bearing cap. Tighten bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table at end of article. Rotate exhaust camshaft clockwise so knock pin is at 12 o'clock position.
  8. Ensure TDC marks are together and at cylinder head surface. See Fig 2 . The installing marks should be at 12 o'clock position.
    CAUTION: Check valve clearance if cylinder head or camshaft components were serviced or changed. See VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT under ADJUSTMENTS.
