How to remove the camshaft on 2009 Toyota Venza?

Question

Accepted Answer

The starting point to remove the camshaft begins with timing chain cover removal. First fasten the crankshaft pulley bolt for a short time before moving the crankshaft in a clockwise direction until the prijs on both the crankshaft timing gear and camshaft timing gears match; another clockwise rotation might be needed if the marks do not align correctly. Take out the crankshaft pulley bolt after its proper alignment. Next, remove the bolt and timing chain guide after which the No. 1 chain tensioner assembly requires you to extend the plunger slightly and rotate the stopper plate counterclockwise to release the lock while pushing the plunger into the tensioner followed by moving the stopper plate clockwise to set the lock until you can insert a pin into the stopper plate hole before removing the 2 bolts, chain tensioner and gasket. The procedure includes stripping the bolt and chain tensioner slipper then proceeding with the chain sub-assembly and the two bolts and chain vibration damper. Use a wrench to grasp the hexagonal camshaft portion while removing both the bolt and camshaft timing gear unit while avoiding contact between the head of the cylinders and spark plug tube and refrain from breaking down the camshaft timing gear. Rephrase the procedure for the camshaft timing exhaust gear. Use a screwdriver to lightly pry the camshaft housing from the cylinder head after you loosen all 20 bearing cap bolts according to sequence and do it with great caution to prevent surface damage. Start by removing the 11 bearing cap bolts according to the specified sequence while removing afterward each of the 5 bearing caps before arranging all removed components in their proper sequential order. The maintenance process requires complete removal of the oil control valve filter alongside the No. 1 camshaft bearing then the No. 1 and No. 2 camshafts and finally the No. 2 camshaft bearing. The 16 valve rocker arms along with the corresponding 16 valve lash adjusters should then be extracted from the cylinder head space while properly organizing all removed components.
