3.	When the camshaft timing gear comes to the most advanced position, take out the air pressure of the timing retard side path, and then, take out that of timing advance side path.
NOTICE:
If the order for taking off compressed air is not followed, the timing gear moves to retard side suddenly, which could damage the timing gear.

5.	Turn the timing gear to the most retard side, and make sure that it locks.
