>>E<< THRUST CAMSHAFT BEARING 
CAP/CAMSHAFT BEARING CAP/OIL FEEDING 
CAMSHAFT BEARING CAP INSTALLATION

1. Install the camshaft bearing caps to the cylinder heads.

NOTE: Because the thrust camshaft bearing cap and cam-
shaft bearing cap are the same in shape, check the cap 
number and additionally its symbol to identify the intake and 
exhaust sides for correct installation.

2. Tighten each camshaft bearing cap to the specified torque in 

the order of number shown in the figure in two or three 
steps.

Tightening torque: 12 ± 1 N⋅ m (107 ± 8 in-lb)

>>F<< CAMSHAFT BEARING/CAMSHAFT AND 
CAMSHAFT SPROCKET ASSEMBLY (EXHAUST 
SIDE) INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• Be careful not to drop the camshaft bearing.
• When installing the camshaft and camshaft sprocket 

assembly (exhaust side), be careful not to let the cam-
shaft bearing which is installed to the front cam bearing 
deviate from its position.

When replacing the camshaft bearing, according to the identifi-
cation mark of front camshaft bearing cap in the table below, 
select a camshaft bearing with the corresponding size. Note 
that the identification mark of camshaft bearing is stamped on 
the place shown in the figure.

.

>>G<< FRONT CAMSHAFT BEARING CAP 
ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

CAUTION

When the mounting bolts are tightened with the front cam-
shaft bearing cap tilted, the front camshaft bearing cap is 
damaged. Install the front camshaft bearing cap properly 
to the cylinder head and camshaft.
1. Install the front camshaft bearing cap to the cylinder head, 

and temporarily tighten the front camshaft bearing cap to the 
specified torque in the order of the figure (1).

Tightening torque: 17 ± 3 N⋅ m (13 ± 2 ft-lb)

2. Tighten the front camshaft bearing cap again to the specified 

torque in the order of the figure (2).

Tightening torque: 30 ± 2 N⋅ m (23 ± 1 ft-lb)
