      *a Adhesive Tape
      *b Adhesive Tape Sealing Area
      *c Prick a Hole
      NOTE:

      Be sure to cover the oil hole completely because air leaks due to insufficient sealing will prevent the lock pin from being released.

    3. Prick a hole in the tape covering the oil hole as shown in the illustration. (Procedure A)
    4. Apply approximately 150 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm2 , 22 psi) of air pressure to the hole pricked in procedure A to release the lock pin.
      GTY426627Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      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.
    5. Forcibly turn the camshaft timing gear assembly in the advance direction (counterclockwise).

      HINT: 

      Depending on the air pressure applied, the camshaft timing gear assembly may turn in the advance direction without assistance.

    6. Turn the camshaft timing gear assembly within its movable range (30 to 32°) 2 or 3 times without turning it to the most retarded position. Make sure that the camshaft timing gear assembly turns smoothly.

    7. Remove the adhesive tape from the No. 1 camshaft bearing cap.
  26. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING EXHAUST GEAR ASSEMBLY 
    1. Check the lock of the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly.
    2. After cleaning the VVT oil hole in the exhaust side of 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.

      *a Adhesive Tape
      *b Adhesive Tape Sealing Area
      *c Prick a Hole
      NOTE:

      Be sure to cover the oil hole completely because air leaks due to insufficient sealing will prevent the lock pin from being released.

    3. Prick a hole in the tape covering the oil hole as shown in the illustration. (Procedure A)
    4. Apply approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2 , 28 psi) of air pressure to the hole pricked in procedure A to release the lock pin.
      GTY426625Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
      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.
    5. Using a screwdriver with its tip wrapped with tape, forcibly turn the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly in the retard direction (clockwise).
      NOTE:
      • Be sure to keep the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly in the retard direction using a screwdriver. If the gear is released, it will return to the most advanced position automatically due to the force from the spring.
      • Do not damage the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly.
    6. Using a screwdriver with its tip wrapped with tape, turn the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly within its movable range (24 to 26°) 2 or 3 times without turning it to the most advanced position. Make sure that the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly turns smoothly.
