Camshaft end play: 0.1 - 0.2 mm (0.004 - 0.008 in.)
CVVT ASSEMBLY
1. Inspect CVVT assembly.
1. Check that the CVVT assembly will not turn.
2. Apply vinyl tape to all the parts except the one indicated by the arrow in the illustration.
3. Wind tape around tip of the air gun and apply air of approximately 100 kPa (1 kgf/cm2, 14 psi) to the port of the camshaft.
(Perform this order to release the lock pin for the maximum delay angle locking.)
NOTE: When the oil splashes, wipe if off with a shop rag and the likes.
4. Under the condition of (3), turn the CVVT assembly to the advance angle side (the arrow marked direction in the illustration) with your hand.
Depending on the air pressure, the CVVT assembly will turn to the advance side without applying force by hand. Also, under the condition that the pressure can be hardly applied because of the air leakage from the port, there may be case that the lock pin could be hardly released.
5. Except the position where the lock pin meets at the maximum delay angle, let the CVVT assembly turn back and forth and check the movable range and that there is disturbance.
Standard: Movable smoothly in the range about 20°
6. Turn the CVVT assembly with your hand lock it at the maximum delay angle position.
CAMSHAFT OIL SEAL
1. Check the lips for wear. If the lip threads are worn, replace.
2. Check the oil seal lip contacting surface of the camshaft. If it is worn, replace the camshaft.

d. Loosen the cylinder head cover bolts and then remove the cover and gasket.
4. Set No.1 cylinder to TDC/ compression.
a. Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark "T" of the lower timing belt cover.
b. Check that the hole of the camshaft timing pulley is aligned with the timing mark of the bearing cap. If not, turn the crankshaft one revolution (360°)
5. Inspect the valve clearance.
a. Check only the valves indicated as shown. [No.1 cylinder: TDC/Compression] measure the valve clearance
^ Using a thickness gauge, measure the clearance between the tappet shim and the base circle of camshaft.
^ Record the out - of - specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement adjusting shim.
Valve clearance

b. Turn the crankshaft pulley one revolution (360°) and align the groove with timing mark "T" of the lower timing belt cover.
c. Check only the valves indicated as shown. [NO.4 cylinder: TDC/compression]. Measure the valve clearance.
6. Adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearance.
a. Turn the crankshaft so that the cam lobe of the camshaft on the adjusting valve is upward.
b. Using the special tool (09220-2D000), press down the valve lifter and place the stopper between the camshaft and valve liner and remove the special tool.
c. Remove the adjusting shim with a small screw driver and magnet.
d. Measure the thickness of the removed shim using a micrometer.
e. Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that the valve clearance comes within the specified value.
Valve clearance (Engine coolant temperature: 20 °C)
T: Thickness of removed shim
