    WARNING

    Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be kept level while it is being removed. If the camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the head receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, causing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the following steps should be carried out.
15. Remove the camshafts using the following procedure.
    1. Check the crankshaft pulley position. Check that the timing mark of the crankshaft pulley is aligned with the centers of the crankshaft pulley bolt and the idler pulley.
       
       WARNING

       Having the crankshaft pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and valve head to come into contact with each other when you remove the camshaft, causing damage. Always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.
    2. Remove the right side camshafts. Bring the service bolt hole of the sub-gear upward by turning the hexagon wrench portion of the exhaust camshaft with a wrench. Secure the sub-gear to the main gear with a bolt 6mm in diameter x 1.0mm thread pitch x 16-20mm long.
       
       WARNING

       When removing the camshafts, make sure that the torsion spring force of the sub-gear has been eliminated by the above operation.
    3. Set the timing mark (one dot mark) of the camshaft main gear at an angle approximately 10° above horizontal by turning the hexagon wrench portion of the exhaust camshaft with a wrench.
    4. Uniformly loosen and remove the 22 bearing cap bolts in several passes, in the sequence illustrated.
    5. Remove the oil feed pipe, the bearing caps and the camshafts.
    6. Remove the left side camshafts. Bring the service bolt hole of the sub-gear upward by turning the hexagon wrench portion of the exhaust camshaft with a wrench. Secure the sub-gear to the main gear with a bolt 6mm in diameter x 1.0mm thread pitch x 16-20mm long.
       
       WARNING

       When removing the camshafts, make sure that the torsion spring force of the sub-gear has been eliminated by the above operation.
    7. Align timing marks (two dot marks) of the camshaft drive gear by turning the hexagon wrench portion of the exhaust camshaft with a wrench.
    8. Uniformly loosen and remove the 22 bearing cap bolts in several passes, in the sequence illustrated. Note that there are five different length bearing cap bolts that, at assembly, MUST be returned to their proper locations. Mark these bolts or place in holes punched through cardboard to make sure they will be in the proper location and sequence. Take the time to accurately measure each bolt and mark its length on the cardboard. The reason for this is that at assembly, certain lengths of bolts are handled differently, and they are identified by length.
    9. Remove the oil feed pipe, the bearing caps and the camshafts.
       
       NOTE

       Use care to keep the bearing caps in order, in the exact same sequence and direction as originally installed on the engine.

   2. Install the snapring.
   3. Mount the hexagon wrench head portion of the camshaft in a vise. Use care not to damage the camshaft.
   4. Using Toyota-s Special Service tool, or a suitable pin-type spanner, align the holes of the camshaft main gear and sub-gear by turning the camshaft sub-gear counterclockwise, and temporarily install a bolt 6mm in diameter x 1.0mm thread pitch x 16-20mm long. Make sure the teeth of the gears are aligned, and then tighten the bolt to secure the assembly.
2. Remove any old sealer from the semi-circular camshaft housing plugs. Apply fresh sealer to the plug grooves and install the camshaft housing plugs to the cylinder heads.
   
   WARNING

   Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be kept level while it is being installed. If the camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the head receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, causing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the following steps should be carried out.
3. Install the right side camshafts using the following procedure:
   1. Apply engine assembly lube or multipurpose grease to the thrust portion of the intake and exhaust camshafts.
   2. Lay the intake and exhaust camshafts carefully in position.
   3. Set the timing mark (one dot mark) of the camshaft main gear at an angle approximately 10° above horizontal by turning the hexagon wrench portion of the exhaust camshaft with a wrench.
   4. Remove any old sealer from the front bearing cap. Apply a bead of fresh sealer approximately ¹ / ₁₆ inch in diameter, to the areas indicated in the illustration. Use care to keep sealer out of the front bearing cap grooves. Assemble the front bearing cap before the sealer has a chance to skin-over (start to cure). Note that installing the front bearing cap will determine the thrust clearance of the camshaft.
   5. Install the other bearing caps in the sequence illustrated with the arrow mark facing forward. Align the arrow marks at the front and rear of the cylinder head with the mark on the bearing cap.
   6. Install a new camshaft oil seal.
   7. Apply a light coat of engine oil on the threads of only two sizes (the two longest) of camshaft bearing cap bolts. These bolts are:
      
      
      The 2.83 inch (72mm) bolts (called bolt -D-).

      The 3.70 inch (94mm) bolts (called bolt -E-).
   8. Do NOT apply engine oil under the heads of the remaining camshaft bearing cap bolts. These bolts are:
      
      
      The 0.98 inch (25mm) bolts (called bolt -A-).

      The 1.50 inch (38mm) bolts (called bolt -B-).

      The 2.05 inch (52mm) bolts (called bolt -C-).
4. Uniformly tighten the 22 bearing cap bolts in several passes, in the sequence illustrated:
   1. Torque the shortest bolts (bolt -A-) to 69 inch lbs. (7.5 Nm).
   2. Torque all other bolts to 144 inch lbs. (16 Nm).
   3. Bring the service bolt hole of the sub-gear upward by turning the hexagon wrench portion of the exhaust camshaft with a wrench. Remove the bolt. This allows the torsion spring and sub-gear to remove gear backlash.
5. Install the left side camshafts using the same procedure.
6. Turn the camshaft(s) and position so the lobes are upward, and check and adjust the valve clearance, noting the following:
   1. Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark 0on the No. 1 timing belt cover.
   2. Install the timing belt rear plates.
   3. Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing pulleys and the timing belt rear plates are aligned. If not, turn the crankshaft exactly one revolution (360°) and align the marks.
   4. Using a feeler gauge, measure the distance between the valve lifter and camshaft. Clearance should be 0.006-0.010 inch (0.15-0.25mm) on the intake camshaft and 0.010-0.014 inch (0.25-0.35mm) on the exhaust camshaft.
7. Clean all old sealer from the four semi-circular camshaft plugs. Apply a fresh bead of sealer to the center groove of the plugs and install the plugs to the cylinder head.
8. Clean all old sealer from the cylinder head covers. Apply fresh sealer at the joint where the camshaft front bearing cap meets the cylinder head cover sealing surface. Use new cylinder head cover gaskets. Make sure the seal washers under the bolt heads are in good condition. Install the cylinder head covers. Uniformly tighten the bolts in several passes with final torque to 53 inch lbs. (6 Nm).
9. Install the upper and lower intake manifolds using the procedures found in this section. Use care to make sure the lower intake manifold gaskets are properly installed. Factory replacement gaskets should have white paint marks which should be facing upward. Align the port holes of the gasket and the cylinder head.
10. Using the identification tags made at disassembly, connect the following hoses to the intake manifold:
    
    
    Vacuum hose to the fuel pressure regulator.

    PCV hose to the PCV valve on the left side cylinder head.

    EVAP hose to the charcoal canister from the VSV for the EVAP system.

    EVAP hose to the charcoal canister from the EVAP pipe on the intake manifold.

    Power steering vacuum switch lines to the intake manifold.

    Brake booster vacuum line.
11. Using the identification tags made at disassembly, attach the following electrical connectors:
    
    
    Throttle Position (TP) sensor

    Accelerator pedal position sensor connector

    Throttle control motor connector

    VSV connector for the EVAP system

    Eight fuel injector connectors

    Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor

    Water sender gauge connector

    Eight ignition coil connectors

    Two heated oxygen sensor connectors
12. Connect the fuel lines.
13. If not done so earlier, install the timing belt rear plates and tighten the bolts to 66 inch lbs. (7.5 Nm).
14. Install the throttle body.
15. Install the ignition coils to their proper spark plug.
16. Install the automatic transmission fluid dipstick and fill tube.
17. Connect the front exhaust pipe.
18. Install the power steering pump.
19. Install the camshaft position sensor.
20. Install the camshaft timing pulleys and the timing belt.
21. An oil and filter change is recommended.
22. Refill the engine with coolant.
23. Start the engine and check for leaks.

These details will help.
