  33. Remove camshafts.

    Notice

    Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be kept level while it is being removed. If the camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the cylinder head receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, causing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the following steps should be carried out.

    A. Remove exhaust camshaft

    1. Set the knock pin of the intake camshaft at 10 – 45° BTDC of camshaft angle.

      Hint

      The above angle allows No.2 and No.4 cylinder cam lobes of the exhaust camshaft to push their valve lifters evenly.

    2. Secure the exhaust camshaft sub-gear to drive gear with a service bolt.

      Recommended service bolt:

      • Thread diameter – 6 mm
      • Thread pitch – 1.0 mm
      • Bolt length – 16 – 20 mm (0.63 – 0.79 in.)

      Hint

      When removing the camshaft, make certain that the torsional spring force of the sub-gear has been eliminated by the above operation.

    3. Remove the two bolts and rear bearing cap.

    4. Uniformly loosen and remove the six bolts on the No.1, No.2 and No.4 bearing cap in several passes in the sequence shown.

    5. Remove the No.1, No.2 and No.4 bearing caps.

    6. Alternately loosen and remove the two bolts on the No.3 bearing cap.

      Hint

      • As two No.3 bearing cap bolts are loosened, check that the camshaft is being lifted out straight and level.
      • If the camshaft is not being lifted out straight and level, retighten the two No.3 bearing cap bolts. Then reverse the order of above steps from (f) to (a) and reset the knock pin of the intake camshaft at 10 – 45° BTDC, and repeat steps from (b) to (f) once again.

      Notice

      Do not pry on or attempt to force the camshaft with a tool or other objects.

    7. Remove the No.3 bearing cap and exhaust camshaft.

    B. Remove intake camshaft

    1. Set the knock pin of the intake camshaft at 80 – 115° BTDC of camshaft angle.

      Hint

      The above angle allows the No.1 and No.3 cylinder cam lobes of intake camshaft to push their valve lifters evenly.

    2. Remove the two bolts, front bearing cap and oil seal.

    3. Uniformly loosen and remove the bolts on the No.1, No.3 and No.4 bearing cap in several passes in the sequence shown.

      Notice

      Do not remove the No.2 bearing cap bolts at this stage.

    4. Remove the No.1, No.3 and No.4 bearing caps.

    5. Alternately loosen and remove the two bolts on the No.2 bearing cap.

      Hint

      • As two No.2 bearing cap bolts are loosened, check that the camshaft is being lifted out straight and level, after breaking the adhesion on the front bearing cap.
      • If the camshaft is not being lifted out straight and level, retighten the two No.2 bearing cap bolts. Reverse the order of above steps from (e) to (a) and reset the knock pin of the intake camshaft at 80 – 115° BTDC, and repeat steps from (b) to (e) once again.

      Notice

      Do not pry on or attempt to force the camshaft with a tool or other objects.

    6. Remove the No.2 bearing cap and camshaft.

  34. Disassemble exhaust camshaft.

    1. Mount the hexagonal wrench head portion of the camshaft in a vise.

      Notice

      Be careful not to damage the camshaft.

  4. Install camshafts.

    Notice

    Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be kept level while it is being installed. If the camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the cylinder head receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, causing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the following steps should be carried out.

    A. Install intake camshaft

    1. Apply MP grease to the thrust portion of the camshaft.
    2. Place the intake camshaft at 80 – 115° BTDC of camshaft angle on the cylinder head.

      Hint

      The above angle allows the No.1 and No.3 cylinder cam lobes of the intake camshaft to push their valve lifters evenly.

    3. Apply seal packing to the No.1 bearing cap as shown.

      Seal packing: Part No. 08826-00080 or equivalent

    B. Install exhaust camshaft

    1. Set the knock pin of the intake camshaft at 10 – 45° BTDC of camshaft angle.

      Hint

      The above angle allows the No.2 and No.4 cylinder cam lobes of the exhaust camshaft to push their valve lifters evenly.

    2. Apply MP grease to the thrust portion of the camshaft.

    3. Engage the exhaust camshaft gear to the intake camshaft gear by matching the timing marks on each gear.
    4. Roll down the exhaust camshaft onto the bearing journals while engaging gears with each other.

      Notice

      There are also assembly reference marks on each gear as shown in the illustration. Do not use these marks.

    5. Turn the intake camshaft clockwise or counterclockwise little by little until the exhaust camshaft sits in the bearing journals evenly without rocking the camshaft on the bearing journals.

      Notice

      It is very important to replace the camshaft in the bearing journals evenly while tightening bearing caps in the subsequent steps.

    6. Install the bearing caps in their proper location.

    7. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads and under the heads of bearing cap bolts.

    8. Install and uniformly tighten the ten bearing cap bolts in several passes, in the sequence shown.
