• Q: How to install the camshaft on 2009 Toyota Yaris?

  A: First attach the camshaft timing gear assembly to the camshaft after releasing the lock pin while inserting the straight pin into the groove through counter-clockwise rotation and gentle motion. The gear flange must have no space with the camshaft while technicians apply 64 Nm (653 kgf-cm, 47 ft-lbf) of torque to the flange bolt before releasing the camshaft timing gear lock. The technician applies a thin layer of engine oil to the camshaft before installing the timing chain exactly in line with both paint points and timing marks. Then the bolts on camshaft bearing cap No. 2 should be tightened uniformly to 13 Nm (129 kgf-cm, 9.4 ft-lbf) as the camshaft remains level. Fit camshaft Number 2 which should have its sprocket timing mark aligned with the chain paint mark while tightening bearing cap bolts No. 1 and No. 2 to 23 Nm (235 kgf-cm, 17 ft-lbf) and 13 Nm (129 kgf-cm, 9.4 ft-lbf) respectively. Installed the bolt on camshaft No. 2 with 64 Nm torque (653 kgf-cm, 47 ft-lbf) while removing the bar from the timing chain tensioner and securing all timing marks in proper alignment. The screw plug requires adhesive application to its last two or three threads followed by hexagon wrench installation at 15 Nm (153 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf). The process ends with negative terminal connection at 5.4 Nm torque (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf) followed by oil leak inspection before finishing the installation of other components.
