23. REMOVE NO.3 CAMSHAFT SUB-ASSEMBLY

NOTICE: Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be kept level while being removed. If the camshaft is not kept level, the cylinder head or camshaft may be damaged. To avoid this, the following steps must be carried out.





a. Align the timing marks (1 dot marks) of the camshaft drive and driven gears by turning the camshaft with a wrench.





b. Secure the exhaust camshaft sub gear to the main gear with a service bolt.
Torque: 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 inch lbs.)





Recommended service bolt

HINT: When removing the camshaft, make certain that the torsional spring force of the sub gear has been eliminated by installation of the service bolt.





c. Using several steps, loosen and remove the 10 bearing cap bolts uniformly in the sequence shown in the illustration. Remove the 5 bearing caps and No. 3 camshaft.

NOTICE:
^ Do not pry out the camshaft.
^ Be careful not to damage the contact surface of the cylinder head that receives the shaft thrust.





24. REMOVE NO.1 CAMSHAFT SUB-ASSEMBLY
a. Using several steps, loosen and remove the 10 bearing cap bolts uniformly in the sequence shown in the illustration. Remove the 5 bearing caps and No. 4 camshaft.

NOTICE:
^ Do not pry out the camshaft.
^ Be careful not to damage the contact surface of the cylinder head that receives the shaft thrust.

b. Remove the oil seal from the No. 4 camshaft.
25. REMOVE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
26. REMOVE CAMSHAFT SUB GEAR NO.3
SST 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00500)

28. INSTALL CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
29. INSTALL NO.1 CAMSHAFT SUB-ASSEMBLY

NOTICE: Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be kept level while being installed. If the camshaft is not kept level, the cylinder head or camshaft may be damaged. To avoid this, the following steps must be carried out.

a. Apply new engine oil to the thrust portion and journal of the camshaft.





b. Place the No. 4 camshaft at a 90° angle of the timing mark (1 dot marks) on the cylinder head.
c. Apply multi-purpose grease to a new oil seal lip.





d. Install the oil seal to the camshaft.

NOTICE:
^ Do not turn over the oil seal lip.
^ Insert the oil seal until it stops.

e. Remove any old packing material from the contact sur face.





f. Apply seal packing to the bearing cap No. 1 as shown in the illustration. Seal packing: Part No. 08826-00080 or equivalent

NOTICE:
^ Install the bearing cap No. 1 within 5 minutes after applying seal packing.
^ Do not expose the seal packing to engine oil within 2 hours after installing.





g. Install the 5 bearing caps in their proper locations.
h. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads of the bearing cap bolts.





i. Using several steps, install and tighten the 10 bearing cap bolts uniformly in the sequence shown in the illustration.
Torque: 16 Nm (163 kgf-cm, 12 ft. lbs.)
30. INSTALL NO.3 CAMSHAFT SUB-ASSEMBLY

NOTICE: Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be kept level while being installed. If the camshaft is not kept level, the cylinder head or camshaft may be damaged. To avoid this, the following steps must be carried out.

a. Apply new engine oil to the thrust portion and journal of the camshaft.





b. Align the timing marks (1 dot marks) of the camshaft drive and driven gears.
c. Place the camshaft to the cylinder head.
