How to install the camshaft on 2008 Toyota Sequoia?

Question

Accepted Answer

The installation of the camshaft starts with applying MP grease to new oil seals followed by inserting them into the camshaft timing tube to stop at the tube's end. Always check for correct orientation and ensure the lip faces the correct direction. Place the knock pin of the timing tube opposite the knock pin groove on the drive gear before attaching the drive gear temporarily through four bolts. Tighten the bolts using Special Service Tool: 09960-10010, 09962-01000, along with a 5 mm hexagon wrench to a torque of 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf). Place the hexagonal portion of the camshaft in a vise and position its knock pin toward the timing tube groove before pushing the tube by hand to touch the bottom without additional force. Install the bolt first using a 10 mm hexagon wrench until it reaches 78 Nm (795 kgf-cm) torque before installing the seal washer and screw plug to a torque of 15 Nm (153 kgf-cm). To install the No. 3 camshaft sub gear start by adding the gear spring followed by the sub-gear then drop the wave washer inside before setting the snap ring using snap ring pliers. Follow the priority alignment marks of the Special Service Tool to put a service bolt in place while the gear teeth are properly set before tightening the service bolt. Before attaching the Bank 1 camshaft sub-assembly maintain the camshaft at a level position to avoid injury while you should verify the crankshaft timing pulley position followed by lubricating the cam lobe gear and journal with engine oil before aligning the timing marks and securing the bearing cap with Toyota Genuine Seal Packing Black or Three Bond 1207B equivalent seal packing. Place the camshaft housing plug and oil control valve filter into their positions while using three-minute time limit and packing the No. 1 bearing cap with seal material. Prepare four new seal washers for bearing cap bolts and add engine oil to bolts C to E threads before inserting the oil feed pipe alongside bearing caps with 22 bolts into place. Then push in the camshaft setting oil seal and distribute even torque to the bolts in the specified sequence. After raising the service bolt from the driven sub-gear assembly remove it then put on the rear timing belt plates using required torque specifications. When aligning the camshaft timing pulley sub-assembly by knock pin you should first install the bolts temporarily before fully tightening them. The procedure for Bank 2 camshaft installation should replicate the Bank 1 camshaft installation process by following the same precautions plus procedures. You must apply the seal packing to the semicircular plug grooves before installing plugs and gasket and torquing down the cover bolts. As the last step you will connect hoses while also installing the ignition coil assembly, water pipes and engine wire before conducting security checks on all connections and torque inspections alongside leak and oil level assessments.
