37. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
a. Fix the intake camshaft in a vise.

NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the camshaft.





b. Align the knock pin hole in the camshaft timing gear assembly with the knock pin of the camshaft, and install the camshaft timing gear assembly with the bolt.
Torque: 100 Nm (1,020 kgf-cm, 74 ft. lbs.)
c. Confirm that the camshaft timing gear assembly is locked.





d. Release that lock pin.
(1) Cover 4 oil paths of cam journal with masking tape as shown in the illustration.

HINT: One of the 2 grooves on the cam journal is for the retard side path (upper) and the other is for the advance side path (lower). Each groove has 2 oil paths. Plug one of the oil paths for each groove with a piece of rubber before wrapping the cam journal with tape.

(2) Puncture the tape covering the advance oil path and retard oil path on the opposite side of the groove as shown in the illustration.





(3) Apply air pressure into two broken paths (the advance side path and the retard side path) of about 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2).

NOTICE: Cover the paths with a shop rag to avoid oil splashes.





(4) Confirm that the camshaft timing gear assembly rotates in the timing advance direction when reducing the air pressure on the timing retard path.

HINT: When the lock pin is released, the camshaft timing gear rotates in the advance direction.

(5) When the camshaft timing gear comes to the most advanced position, release the air pressure on the timing retard side path, and release that of the timing advance side path.

NOTICE: Camshaft timing assembly gear occasionally shifts to the retard side abruptly if the air compression on the advanced side path is released first. This often causes the breakage of the lock pin.
e. Check the smooth revolution.

Standard: Move smoothly in the range about 31°

NOTICE: Be sure to perform this check by hand, instead of using air pressure.

f. Check that the lock is in the most retarded position.
