Removal [11/2015 - ]: Procedure
- REMOVE EGR COOLER ASSEMBLY
(Refer to REMOVAL [11/2015 - ] )
- REMOVE NO. 1 IGNITION COIL
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 1
- SEPARATE ENGINE WIRE
- REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY
- SET NO. 1 CYLINDER TO TDC / COMPRESSION
See step 2
- REMOVE SCREW PLUG
Refer to PROCEDURE - Step 12
- REMOVE NO. 2 CAMSHAFT
- Loosen the bolts on the camshaft timing gear or sprocket while holding the hexagonal portion of the No. 2 camshaft.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*a Hold - Insert a screwdriver from the plug hole and turn the stopper plate of the No. 1 chain tensioner assembly clockwise to release the lock, and keep it as it is.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*1 Plunger *2 Stopper Plate *a Unlock HINT:
- The plunger of the No. 1 chain tensioner assembly is locked.
- If the stopper plate is locked firmly, slightly turn the hexagonal portion of the camshaft to the right and left.
- Slightly turn the hexagonal portion of the No. 2 camshaft clockwise so that the plunger of the No. 1 chain tensioner assembly is pushed by the chain sub-assembly.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*1 Plunger - Insert a screwdriver from the plug hole and turn the stopper plate of the No. 1 chain tensioner assembly counterclockwise to the lock, and keep it as it is. Insert the hexagon wrench into the stopper plate hole.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*1 Hexagon Wrench *2 Plunger *3 Stopper Plate *a Lock HINT:
Hold the hexagon wrench with tape so that the hexagon wrench does not come off.
- Using several steps, uniformly loosen and remove the 11 bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration. Then remove the No. 1 camshaft bearing cap and 4 No. 2 camshaft bearing caps.
NOTE:
Uniformly loosen the bolts while keeping the No. 2 camshaft level.
- Remove the bolt with the No. 2 camshaft lifted up.
- Remove the No. 2 camshaft and camshaft timing gear or sprocket.
- Loosen the bolts on the camshaft timing gear or sprocket while holding the hexagonal portion of the No. 2 camshaft.
- REMOVE CAMSHAFT
- Loosen the bolts on the camshaft timing gear assembly while holding the hexagonal portion of the camshaft.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*a Hold - Using several steps, uniformly loosen and remove the 8 bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration. Then remove the 4 No. 2 camshaft bearing caps.
NOTE:
Uniformly loosen the bolts while keeping the camshaft level.
- Hold the chain sub-assembly with one hand, and remove the camshaft.
- Tie the chain sub-assembly with a string or similar as shown in the illustration.NOTE:
Be careful not to drop anything inside the timing chain cover.
- Loosen the bolts on the camshaft timing gear assembly while holding the hexagonal portion of the camshaft.
- INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
- Check the camshaft timing gear assembly lock.
- Release the lock pin.
- Cover the 4 oil paths of the cam journal with vinyl tape as shown in the illustration.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*a Retard Side Path *b Advance Side Path *c Open *d Close Rubber Piece Vinyl Tape HINT:
4 oil paths are provided in the groove. Plug 2 paths with rubber pieces.
- Prick a hole in the tape placed on the advance side path. Prick a hole in the tape placed on the retard side path, on the opposite side to that of the advance side path, as shown in the illustration.
- Apply approximately 150 kPa (1.5 kgf/cm2, 22 psi) of air pressure to the 2 paths (the advance side path and the retard side path).TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*a Advance Side Path *b Retard Side Path HINT:
Cover the paths with a piece of cloth when applying pressure to keep oil from spraying.
- Make sure that the camshaft timing sprocket turns in the retard direction when reducing the air pressure applied to the advance side path.TEXT IN ILLUSTRATION
*a Advance Side Path *b Retard Side Path *c Decompress *d Hold Pressure HINT:
The lock pin is released and the camshaft timing sprocket turns in the retard direction.
- When the camshaft timing sprocket moves to the most retarded position, release the air pressure from the advance side path, and then release the air pressure from the retard side path.NOTE:
Be sure to release the air pressure from the advance side path first. If the air pressure of the retard side path is released first, the camshaft timing sprocket may abruptly shift in the advance direction and break the lock pin or other parts.
- Cover the 4 oil paths of the cam journal with vinyl tape as shown in the illustration.
