Camshaft

1. Assemble the inlet V.V.T. sprocket assembly in the 

following procedure.

• Make sure that the knock pin of the inlet camshaft 

assembly is positioned facing straight upward.

• Apply an appropriate and minimum amount of 

engine oil to the circumference of the tip of the 
inlet V.V.T. sprocket assembly and the entire cir-
cumference of the area into which the inlet V.V.T. 
sprocket assembly is inserted.

• Slowly insert the inlet V.V.T. sprocket assembly 

into the normal position of the inlet camshaft 
assembly with its knock pin hole facing straight 
upward.

2. Install the V.V.T. sprocket.

3. Make sure that the V.V.T. sprocket is securely 

inserted into the bottom and that the V.V.T. 
sprocket does not rotate with the hexagonal 
portion of the camshaft secured with a wrench.

AK502739

4. Hold the hexagonal portion of the camshaft with a 

wrench and tighten the inlet V.V.T. sprocket bolt to 
the specified torque of 59 

± 5 N⋅m.

>>B<< EXHAUST CAMSHAFT SPROCKET

• Make sure that the knock pin of the exhaust cam-

shaft assembly is positioned facing straight 
upward.

• Slowly insert the exhaust camshaft sprocket into 

the normal position of the exhaust camshaft 
assembly with its knock pin hole facing straight 
upward.

2. Install the exhaust camshaft sprocket.

3. Make sure that the exhaust camshaft sprocket is 

securely inserted into the bottom and that the 
exhaust camshaft sprocket does not rotate with 
the hexagonal portion of the camshaft secured 
with a wrench.

4. Hold the hexagonal portion of the camshaft with a 

wrench and tighten the camshaft sprocket bolt to 
the specified torque of 59 

± 5 N⋅m.

1. Align the timing mark of the inlet V.V.T. sprocket 

and the exhaust camshaft sprocket.

2. Align the crankshaft sprocket keys with illustrated 

positions.

3. Align the link plate (orange) with the timing mark 

of the exhaust camshaft sprocket and loop the 
timing chain.

4. Align the link plate (blue) with the timing mark of 

the inlet V.V.T. sprocket to loop the timing chain. 

 Rotate the inlet V.V.T. sprocket by one or two 
teeth to align with the timing mark.

5. Align the timing mark of the crankshaft sprocket 

with the link plate (blue) to loop the timing chain. 
Because the timing chain slacks, hold it to prevent 
the timing mark from coming off the link plate.

1. Install the timing chain tensioner on the cylinder 

block and tighten it to the specified torque of 10 

± 

2 N

⋅m.

2. Remove the hard wire (piano wire or the like) of 

φ1.5 or hexagonal bar wrench (1.5 mm) from the 
timing chain tensioner. This enables the plunger 
of the timing chain tensioner to push the tensioner 
lever to keep the timing chain tight.
