Component Removal Guidelines 1. If engine disassembly is required that involves removing the camshafts or timing gears, set the #1 cylinder to TDC compression, wipe away any oil, and mark the following items in relation to each other prior to disassembly: • Timing gears • Timing chain • Timing chain No. 2 NOTE This relationship MUST be maintained. The intake gear is timed in relation to the crankshaft via the timing chain; the exhaust gear is timed in relation to the intake gear via the No. 2 timing chain. © 2008 Toyota Motor Sales, USA T-SB-0291-08 September 11, 2008 Page 5 of 5 2GR-FE Valve Timing Procedure Component Removal Guidelines (Continued) 2. If NEW camshaft timing gears or the No. 2 timing chain are being installed, the two yellow links on the No. 2 timing chain can be used to ensure correct relationship between the intake timing gear and the exhaust timing gear. Figure 7. 1 1 Yellow Link A. Align the paint mark on the timing chain with the intake gear timing mark (to ensure the intake gear is correctly timed to the crankshaft). Figure 8.

Align the notch on the crankshaft pulley with the "0" mark on the timing belt lower cover.


With the crankshaft pulley being aligned with the 0 mark on the timing belt cover, the hole on the camshaft sprocket should exactly be in front of the notch of camshaft bracket.



Hope that works.

Double check crankshaft timing mark, on your lower timing cover has some timing marks - crankshaft should be on the 0 mark. Camshaft timing marks--intake camshaft mark set at 3 o'clock and exhaust camshaft mark set a 9 o'clock. These timing marks are critical for motor to run and start correctly. These timings marks can move while trying to install the timing belt. After, you confirm or reset timing and belt, you can confirm timing is correct by rotating the crankshaft twice. Your timing marks should be on right on timing marks discussed at the top of the page. If timing marks are off, start over with timing process.

TIMING MARKS ON CAMSHAFT SPROCKET A LITTLE SMALL SQUARE MARK ON TOP BOTH GEAR SPROCKETS ON CAMSHAFTS TIMING MARKS SHOULD BE IN THE 12 OCLOCK POSITION BOTH CAMSHAFT TIMING MARKS SHOULD BE LINED UP WITH TIMING MARKS REAR OF TIMING MARKS ON TOP OF CAMSHAFT SPROCKET HOUSING. IF STILL HAVING TROUBLE WITH FINDING THE TIMING MARKS.YOU NEED A HAYNES REPAIR MANUAL.

To Install:

1. Install balance shaft drive gear onto the left camshaft.
2. Install the camshaft sprockets and new bolts finger tight.
3. Using a vise, compress the timing chain tensioner plunger.

4. Install a retaining clip on the tensioner to hold plunger IN during installation.

5. If timing chain copper links are not visible, mark 2 links on one end and 1 link on the other end to be used as timing marks.
6. Install right and left timing chain guides. Tighten bolts to 89 in-lbs (10 Nm).
7. Rotate the left camshaft until the timing mark is at the 12 o'clock position.
8. Rotate the right camshaft until the timing mark is at the 11 o'clock position.

9. Position the crankshaft using the special tool. Then remove the tool.

11. Position lower end of left (inner) timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket. Align the copper (or marked) chain link with the timing mark on the outer flange of the crankshaft pulley. NOTE: Upper half of timing chain must be below the tensioner arm dowel.
    

12. Position the left timing chain on the camshaft sprocket. The timing mark on the camshaft sprocket must be aligned between the 2 copper (or marked) chain links.
    Left camshaft sprocket timing mark
    

13. Place the left timing chain tensioner arm on the dowel pin and install the timing chain tensioner and bolts. Tighten bolts to 18 ft-lbs (25 Nm). NOTE: Lower half of timing chain must be above the tensioner arm dowel.

14. Position lower end of right (outer) timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket. Align the copper (or marked) chain link with the timing mark on the outer flange of the crankshaft pulley.
    Right camshaft sprocket timing mark
    

15. Position the right timing chain on the camshaft sprocket. The timing mark on the camshaft sprocket must be aligned between the 2 copper (or marked) chain links.
16. Place the right timing chain tensioner arm on the dowel pin and install the timing chain tensioner and bolts. Tighten bolts to 18 ft-lbs (25 Nm).
17. Remove the retaining clips from the right and left timing chain tensioners.
18. Verify alignment of all timing marks.
19. Install crankshaft sensor ring on crankshaft.
20. Locate index mark on balance shaft and mark corresponding gear tooth with chalk.
21. Position balance shaft on journals. NOTE: It may be helpful to use an inspection mirror to view the marks timing marks.
    

22. Align the chalk mark on the balance shaft with the camshaft timing mark.
    Balance shaft bearing caps
    

23. Install the balance shaft bearing caps in their original locations. Follow the tightening sequence as shown in the illustration. Tighten bolts to 89 in-lbs (10 Nm).
24. Tighten the camshaft phaser sprocket bolts in the correct sequence using 2 steps, as follows:
    • Step 1-30 ft-lbs (40 Nm)
    • Step 2-tighten an additional 90 degrees
25. Position the crankshaft keyway in the 11 o'clock position.
26. Lubricate and install all camshaft roller followers. WARNING
    Engine front cover replacement procedure must be completed within 4 minutes or entire procedure must be repeated. Failure to do so may result in future leaks
    

Installation
Ensure timing marks aligned [6] & [7] . 1. Fit timing belt in anti-clockwise direction, starting at crankshaft sprocket. Ensure belt is taut between sprockets. 2. Slacken tensioner pulley bolt [8] .

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION 1.8L Engine
(see Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4)

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the timing belt covers.
3. Rotate the crankshaft and align the timing marks located on the camshaft pulleys and the seal plate.
4. Remove the crankshaft pulley and hub.
5. If the timing belt is to be reused, mark an arrow on the belt to indicate its rotational direction to enable correct re-installation.
6. Loosen the timing belt tensioner lockbolt and remove the timing belt.

To install:

1. Temporarily secure the timing belt tensioner in the far left position with the spring fully extended, then tighten the lockbolt.
2. Make sure the timing marks on the timing belt pulley (crankshaft sprocket) and the engine block (oil pump housing) are aligned.
3. Make sure the timing marks on the camshaft pulleys and the seal plate are aligned.
4. Install the timing belt.
5. Loosen the tensioner lockbolt. Using a suitable prying tool, position the timing belt tensioner so the timing belt is taut, then tighten the tensioner lockbolt.
6. Turn the crankshaft two turns clockwise and align the timing belt pulley mark with the mark on the engine block.

Fig. 1: Timing marks are located on the camshaft pulleys as shown-1.8L engines



Fig. 2: Make sure that the crankshaft sprocket (timing belt pulley) and oil pump timing marks are aligned-1.8L engines



Fig. 3: Align the timing belt pulley mark with the tension set mark, at approximately the 10 o'clock position-1.8L engines


Fig. 4: Check the timing belt deflection at the location shown-1.8L engines

1. Make sure the camshaft pulley marks are aligned with the seal plate marks.

If the timing marks are not aligned, remove the belt and repeat the procedure.


I hope help you with this; remember rated this help. Good luck.

The timing marks are just above the cams at the "twelve o'clock position"

If necessary, align the timing marks.
NOTE When aligning the cam pulleys with the seal plate marks, align the left cam pulley “I” mark and the right cam pulley on the “E” mark.

WARNING When aligning the timing marks, do not turn the timing gear counterclockwise. Damage to the engine will occur.
