Refer to the Technical Information System (TIS) applicable model year Camry Repair Manual:
4. Remove and replace the camshaft timing gear assembly.
Refer to TIS applicable model year Camry Repair Manual:
NOTE
The timing gear MUST be in the unlocked position when installing on the camshaft. Please see step 5 for instructions to unlock the camshaft timing gear.
5. Identify whether the camshaft timing gear is unlocked or locked. (See Figure 1).
^ If the camshaft timing gear is unlocked it is ready to install.
^ If it is LOCKED follow the steps below to unlock the camshaft timing gear before installing.
A. To disengage the camshaft timing gear lock pin apply and hold approximately 21 psi of air pressure at the oil feed hole located 90 degrees clockwise of the oval slot. (See Figure 2.)
NOTE
The lock pin is inside the gear, NOT the one located in the oval slot.
B. With the 21 psi of air still applied to the gear turn the interior assembly counterclockwise. (See black arrow in Figure 2.)
C. Install the timing gear assembly onto the camshaft with the straight pin slightly to the right of the key groove as shown in Figure 3.
D. Turn the camshaft timing gear assembly while pushing it lightly against the camshaft until the straight pin engages the key slot.
E. Check that the camshaft timing gear is fully seated on the camshaft and that there is no clearance between the end of the camshaft and the timing gear. Install the camshaft bolt finger tight.
F. While holding the camshaft with a wrench tighten the camshaft bolt.
Torque: 54 N*m (551 kgf*cm, 40 ft*lbf)
G. After torquing the camshaft bolt rotate the camshaft timing gear in a clockwise direction while holding the camshaft stationary until the dots are aligned thereby engaging the camshaft timing gear lock pin.
H. The timing gear is now ready for installation of the timing chain.
NOTE
Camshaft timing is performed with the camshaft timing gear in the locked position (dots aligned).
