      *a Open
      *b Close
      *c Advanced Side Path
      *d Retard Side Path
      1. Cover the 4 oil paths of the cam journal with vinyl tape as shown in the illustration.
      2. Make a hole in the tape on the advance side path and retard side path as shown in the illustration.
      3. Apply approximately 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2 , 29 psi) of air pressure to the 2 open paths (the advance side path and the retard side path).
        WARNING:

        The lock pin is released and the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly turns in the advance direction.

        *a Advance Side Path
        *b Retard Side Path
      4. Check that the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly rotates in the retard direction when reducing the air pressure applied to the advance side path.

        HINT: 

        This operation releases the lock pin for the most retarded position.

        GTY515321Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
        *a Advance Side Path
        *b Retard Side Path
        *c Hold Pressure
        *d Decompress
      5. When the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly reaches the most advanced position, release the air pressure from the retard side path, and then release the air pressure from the advance side path.
        NOTE:

        Do not release the air pressure from the retard side path first. The camshaft timing exhaust gear may abruptly shift in the advance direction and break the lock pin.

    3. Check for smooth rotation.
      1. Turn the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly within its movable range (18.5°) 2 or 3 times, but do not turn it to the most advanced position. Make sure that the gear turns smoothly.
        NOTE:

        When the air pressure is released from the advance side path and then from the retard side path, the gear automatically returns to the most advanced position due to the advance assist spring operation and locks. Gradually release the air pressure from the retard side path before performing the smooth rotation check.

    4. Check the lock at the most advanced position.
      1. Confirm that the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly locks at the most advanced position.

      10.6 mm (0.417 in.)

      Measurement Point

      for Intake Side Bolt 

      90 mm (3.54 in.)

      for Exhaust Side Bolt
