9. INSTALL CAMSHAFT TIMING GEAR ASSEMBLY
(a) Check that the knock pin is installed on the camshaft.
(b) Put the camshaft timing gear and camshaft together with the straight pin and key groove misaligned, as shown in the illustration.
NOTE: Do not forcefully push in the camshaft timing gear assembly. This may cause the camshaft knock pin tip to damage the installation
surface of the camshaft timing gear assembly.
(c) Turn the camshaft timing gear as shown in the illustration while pushing it gently against the camshaft. Push further at the position where the
pin fits into the groove.
NOTE: Do not turn the camshaft timing gear in the retard direction (clockwise).
(d) Measure the clearance between the gear and the camshaft flange.
Clearance:
0.1 to 0.4 mm (0.004 to 0.016 in.)
(e) Tighten the flange bolt with the camshaft timing gear secured in place.
