2AR-FE ENGINE MECHANICAL: CAMSHAFT: INSTALLATION

1. SET CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY

HINT
* When reusing the camshaft timing gear, release the lock pin and set the camshaft timing gear to the advanced position before installation.
* If the camshaft timing gear is new or has already been set to the advanced position, install the camshaft timing gear after the camshafts have been installed to the engine.

(a) Check the camshaft timing gear position.

NOTICE:
If the camshaft timing gear is set to the advanced position, do not let the camshaft timing gear rotate clockwise during installation.

If the camshaft timing gear rotates to the retarded position, release the lock pin and set the camshaft timing gear to the advanced position.

(b) Align the knock pin of the No. 1 camshaft with the pin hole of the camshaft timing gear and attach the gear to the camshaft.

(d) Fix the camshaft in place by hand, and then install the installation bolt of the camshaft timing gear by hand.

NOTICE:
Do not use any tools to install the bolt. If the bolt is installed using a tool, the lock pin will be damaged.

(e) Release the lock pin.

HINT
There are 4 oil paths in the grooves of the camshaft. Plug three of the paths with pieces of rubber.

(3) Open a hole at port A shown in the illustration.

(4) While applying compressed air at approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/ cm2, 29 psi) to the oil path, forcibly turn the camshaft timing gear assembly in the advance direction (counterclockwise).





CAUTION:
Cover the paths with a piece of cloth when applying pressure to keep oil from splashing.
