CAMSHAFT

The following are procedures for checking fluid leakage, lubricant leakage.

• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If any are less than the

required quantity, fill them to the specified level. Refer to 

MA-12, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

• Follow the procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- Turn ignition switch to the “ON” position (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping,

check for fuel leakage at connection points.

- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may generate a
pounding noise during and just after the engine start. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. The
noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to check that there is no leakage of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil and

engine coolant.

• Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill them to

the specified level, if necessary.

Summary of the inspection items:

* Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

NOTE:
• As for replacement of parts on the intake side as shown in the exploded view, replace VVEL ladder assem-

bly & cylinder head assembly. (Only valve oil seals are replaceable as a single part.)

• VVEL ladder assembly cannot be replaced as a single part, because it is machined together with cylinder

head assembly.
