18. REMOVE TIMING BELT
(a) Set No.1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
(1) Temporarily install the crankshaft pulley bolt and washer to the crankshaft.





(2) Turn the crankshaft clockwise, and align the timing marks of the crankshaft timing pulley with the oil pump body.





(3) Check that timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys and No.3 timing belt cover are aligned.
HINT: If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°).
(4) Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.






(b) If reusing the timing belt, check that there are 4 installation marks on the timing belt as shown in the illustration.
(1) If the installation marks have disappeared, put new installation marks on the timing belt before removing.






(c) Set No.1 cylinder to approximately 60° BTDC/ compression.
(1) Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise by approximately 60°.
NOTICE:
- Be sure to set the timing pulley at the correct angle in order to prevent it from being damaged when the timing belt is removed.
- If the timing belt is removed when the crankshaft timing pulley is not installed at the correct angle, the piston head or valve head may come into contact with the pulley and damage it. Make sure that the timing pulley is installed at the correct angle.

(d) Remove the timing belt tensioner.
NOTE: Do not reinstall the tensioner with its plunger extended.





(e) Remove the timing belt in the following order.





NOTE: Do not turn the crankshaft or camshaft timing pulley with the timing belt removed. If turned, the piston head or valve head may come into contact with the crankshaft or timing pulley and damage them.

26. REMOVE WATER PUMP ASSEMBLY






(a) Remove the 3 bolts and 3 nuts, then remove the water pump and the gasket.
27. REMOVE CAMSHAFT
NOTE: Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be kept level while it is being removed. If the camshaft is not kept level, damage to the cylinder head or to the camshaft may result. To avoid this, the following steps should be carried out.





(a) Align the timing marks (2-dot mark) of the camshaft drive and the 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: 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf)





HINT: When removing the camshaft, make certain that the torsional spring force of the sub-gear has been eliminated by installing 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 the camshaft.
- Do not pry out the camshaft.
- Do not damage the portion of the cylinder head which receives the shaft thrust.

28. REMOVE NO.2 CAMSHAFT






(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 the No.2 camshaft.
- Do not pry out the camshaft.
- Do not damage the portion of the cylinder head which receives the shaft thrust.

(b) Remove the oil seal from the No.2 camshaft.
29. REMOVE NO.3 CAMSHAFT SUB-ASSEMBLY
NOTE: Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be kept level while it is being removed. If the camshaft is not kept level, damage to the cylinder head or to the camshaft may result. To avoid this, the following steps should be carried out.





(a) Align the timing marks (1-dot mark) of the camshaft drive and the 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: 5.0 Nm (51 kgf-cm, 44 in-lbf)





HINT: When removing the camshaft, make certain that the torsional spring force of the sub-gear has been eliminated by installing 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 the No.3 camshaft.
- Do not pry out the camshaft.
- Do not damage the portion of the cylinder head which receives the shaft thrust.
