30. INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
(a) Inspect the lock of the camshaft timing gear.
(b) After cleaning and degreasing the VVT oil hole on the intake side of the No. 1 camshaft bearing cap, completely seal the oil hole with adhesive
tape or equivalent as shown in the illustration to prevent air from leaking.
NOTE: Be sure to cover the oil hole completely because air leaks due to insufficient sealing will prevent the lock pin from being released.
(c) Prick a hole in the tape covering the oil hole as shown in the illustration. (Procedure A)
