2.
Slide the exhaust camshaft (A) in at an angle to allow the cam chain to slip over the exhaust sprocket's teeth.
3.
Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC). The punch mark (A) on the VTC actuator and the punch mark (B) on the exhaust camshaft sprocket should be at the top. Align the TDC marks (C) on the VTC actuator and the exhaust camshaft sprocket.
4.
Apply new engine oil to the camshaft journals and lobes on both cams.
3.
Camshaft Holder - Install
1.
Apply new engine oil to the threads of the camshaft holder bolts.

4.
Exhaust Camshaft Sprocket Mounting Bolt - Tighten
Hold the camshaft with a 24 mm open-end wrench, then tighten the bolt.
Specified Torque:
73 N·m (7.4 kgf·m, 54 lbf·ft)
5.
Cam Chain Auto-Tensioner - Unlock
Remove the pin from the cam chain auto-tensioner.
6.
Chain Case Cover - Install
1.
Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the chain case cover mating surfaces, the bolts, and the bolt holes.
2.
Clean and dry the chain case cover mating surfaces.
3.
Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the chain case mating surface of the chain case cover and to the inside edge of the threaded bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
NOTE:
Apply a 2.5 mm (0.098 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A).
If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
4.
Install the chain case cover.
NOTE:
Wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the chain case cover.
Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the high pressure fuel pump base mating surfaces, the bolts, and the bolt holes.
2.
Clean and dry the high pressure fuel pump base mating surfaces.
3.
Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the cylinder head mating surface of the high pressure fuel pump base and to the inside edge of the threaded bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
NOTE:
Apply a 2.5 mm (0.098 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A).
If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
