How to service and repair the camshaft on Toyota FJ Cruiser?

Question

Accepted Answer

The service and repair of the camshaft begins with battery cable removal from the negative terminal followed by engine coolant drainage. Start the service process by removing the V-bank cover with all bolts and seal washers along with the air cleaner assembly and throttle body bracket and oil baffle plate and surge tank stays No. 1 and No. 2 and intake air surge tank and ignition coil assembly as well as cylinder head cover sub-assemblies. Reach TDC compression in the No. 1 cylinder by setting the crankshaft pulley "0" timing mark adjacent to the groove while also having the markings on camshaft timing gears match bearing cap positions. Note down the timing marks on the No. 1 chain link before removing both the No. 1 chain tensioner assembly from the top of the crankshaft while keeping the crankshaft from rotating without the tensioner. The craftsman must lift the No. 2 camshaft to prevent damage and must detach the timing gear set bolt to separate the timing gear. The technician should perform the same procedure on the No. 2 chain tensioner assembly and No. 4 camshaft sub-assembly and No. 3 camshaft sub-assembly at this time while maintaining level orientation of all removed camshafts. The camshafts require a runout examination with V-blocks combined with a dial indicator, while measuring the cam lobe height requires a micrometer and checking the journal diameter. The installation of the camshaft timing gear assembly requires fixing the intake camshaft in a vise with hole alignment followed by bolt torque of 100 N m. The assembly requires confirmation of lock status followed by masking tape applied to oil paths before exposing it to compressed air as a check for proper locking at the most retarded position when removing the set bolt.
