      2. Align the knock pin on the No. 2 camshaft with the pin hole in the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly and temporarily install the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly to the No. 2 camshaft with the bolt.
        NOTE:
        • Do not install the chain onto the gear at this step.
        • Do not allow the chain to interfere with the gear when installing the gear assembly.
    2. Inspect the camshaft timing exhaust gear lock.
      1. Check that the camshaft timing exhaust gear is locked.
    3. Inspect camshaft timing exhaust gear operation.
      1. After cleaning and degreasing the exhaust side VVT oil hole on the No. 1 camshaft bearing cap, completely seal the oil hole with adhesive tape or equivalent as shown in the illustration to prevent air from leaking.
        NOTE: Be sure to seal the oil hole completely because air leaks due to insufficient sealing will prevent the lock pin from being released.

      2. Make a hole in the adhesive tape covering the oil hole as shown in the illustration. (Procedure B)
      3. Apply approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm 2, 28 psi.) of air pressure to the hole made in procedure B to release the lock pin.
        NOTE:
        • If air leaks out, reattach the adhesive tape.
        • Cover the oil hole with a piece of cloth when applying air pressure to prevent oil from spraying.

      4. Using a screwdriver with its tip taped, forcibly turn the camshaft timing exhaust gear in the retard direction (clockwise).
        NOTE:
        • Be sure to keep the camshaft timing exhaust gear in the retard direction. If the gear is released, it will return to the advanced position automatically due to the force from the spring.
        • Do not damage the camshaft timing exhaust gear.

        HINT: Depending on the air pressure applied, the camshaft timing exhaust gear may turn in the retard direction without assistance by hand. 

      5. Using a screwdriver with its tip taped, turn the camshaft timing exhaust gear within its movable range (20°) 2 or 3 times without turning it to the most advanced position. Check that the camshaft timing gear turns smoothly.

      2. Make a hole in the adhesive tape covering the oil hole as shown in the illustration. (Procedure A)
      3. Apply approximately 150 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm 2, 22psi.) of air pressure to the hole made in procedure A to release the lock pin.
        NOTE:
        • If air leaks out, reattach the adhesive tape.
        • Cover the oil hole with a piece of cloth when applying air pressure to prevent oil from spraying.
