Section 4 (Engine Mechanical (1AR-FE)): Camshaft: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. SET CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY 

    HINT:

    When installing the camshaft timing gear, release the lock pin and set the camshaft timing gear to the advanced position before installation.

    1. Check the camshaft timing gear position.
      NOTE: If the camshaft timing gear is set to the advanced position, do not let the camshaft timing gear rotate clockwise during installation. If the camshaft timing gear rotates to the retarded position, release the lock pin and set the camshaft timing gear to the advanced position.

    3. Check that there is no clearance between the camshaft timing gear and camshaft flange.
    4. Hold the camshaft in place by hand, and then install the installation bolt of the camshaft timing gear by hand.
      NOTE: Do not use any tools to install the bolt. If the bolt is installed using a tool, the lock pin will be damaged.

      2. Cover the 4 oil paths of the cam journal with vinyl tape as shown in the illustration.

        HINT:

        There are 4 oil paths in the grooves of the camshaft. Plug 3 of the paths with pieces of rubber.

      3. Open a hole at port A shown in the illustration.

      4. While applying approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2 , 29 psi) of air pressure to the oil path, forcibly turn the camshaft timing gear assembly in the advance direction (counterclockwise).
        CAUTION: Cover the paths with a piece of cloth when applying pressure to keep oil from splashing.
        NOTE: Do not allow the camshaft timing gear assembly to lock. If it locks, release the lock pin again.
