8. Install the front oil seal using suitable tool.

CAUTION:

Do not scratch or make burrs on the circumference of the

oil seal.

9. Install the chain tensioner cover. If removed.

• Apply liquid gasket as shown.

Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to

GI-15, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"

. 

10. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order

of removal. Refer to 

EM-48, "Removal and Installation"

.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

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

quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to 

MA-21, "FOR NORTH AMERICA : Fluids and Lubricants"

. (United

States and Canada), 

MA-22, "FOR MEXICO : Fluids and Lubricants"

  (Mexico).

• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.

• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-

age 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.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including

engine oil and engine coolant.

• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.

• After cooling down engine, again check oils/fluids including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to specified

level, if necessary.

• Summary of the inspection items:

*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

5. Obtain compression TDC of No. 1 cylinder as follows:
a. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise to align the TDC identifica-

tion notch (without paint mark) with the timing indicator on the

front cover. 

b. At this time, make sure both intake and exhaust cam lobes of

No. 1 cylinder (top front on LH bank) point outside.

• If they do not point outside, turn crankshaft pulley once more.

6. Disconnect and remove the camshaft position sensor. Refer to 

EM-52, "Exploded View"

.

7. Disconnect and remove the intake valve timing control position sensor (RH and LH). Refer to 

EM-52,

"Exploded View"

.

8. Disconnect and remove the intake valve timing control solenoid valve (RH and LH). Refer to 

EM-52,

"Exploded View"

.

9. Remove the intake valve timing control solenoid valve cover

(RH) (A) and intake valve timing control solenoid valve cover

(LH) (B) as follows: 

a. Loosen and remove the bolts in reverse order as shown. 
b. Cut the liquid gasket and remove the covers using Tool.

CAUTION:

Do not damage mating surfaces.

10. Paint alignment marks on the RH bank (A) timing chain links (C)

and LH bank (B) timing chain links (D) and align with the cam-

shaft sprocket alignment marks (E) and (F).
