4)Install intake camshaft gear (1) and exhaust camshaft gear (2) to each camshaft as shown in figure and then tighten camshaft gear bolts as follows.
a)Tighten camshaft gear bolts to 31 N·m (3.2 kgf-m, 23.0 lbf-ft).
b)Retighten them 40°.
Tightening torque
Camshaft gear bolt* (a): 31 N·m → +40° (3.2 kgf-m → +40°, 23.0 lbf-ft → +40°)
