1. Loosen the adjusting screws.
2. Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts, then,removethe rocker arm assembly.
NOTE:
a Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts two turns at at,me, in a crisscross pattern, to prevent damao_ing the valves or rocker arm assembly.. When removing the rocker arm assembly, do notremove the camshaft holder bolts. The bolts willkeep the camshaft holders, the springs and therocker arms on the shaft.

Rocker Arms and Lost Motion Assemblies
Inspection (D16Y5, Dt6Y8 enginesl
NOTEr When reassembling the primary rocker arm,carefully apply air pressure to the oil passage of therocker arm.
1. Inspect the rocker arm piston. push it manually.- lf it does not move smoothly, replace the rockerarm assembty.

Rocker Arms and Shafts
Clearance Inspection
Measure both the intake rocker shaft and exhaust rocker
shaft.
1. Measure the diameter of the shaft at the first rocker
locatron.
2. Zero the gauge to the shaft diameter'
I
3. Measure the inside diameter of the rocker arm and
check for an out of-round condition.
Rockel Arm-to-Shaft Clearance
Standard (Newl:
lntake: 0.017 - 0.050 mm
{0.0007 - 0.0020 inl
Exhaust: 0.018 - 0.054 mm
(0 0007 - 0 0021 in)
Service Limit:0.08 mm {0.003 inl
Repeat these measurements on all the rockers.
- lf the clearance is over the service limit, replace the
rocker shaft and all over tolerance rocker arms.

Inspection
NOTE:
. Do not rotate the camshaft during inspection.. Remove the rocker arms and rocker shafts.
1. Put the camshaft and the camshaft holders on thecylinder head. then tighten the bolts to the specified
toroue.

Remove the bolts, then remove the camshaft hold-ers from the cylinder head.- Lift the camshaft out of the cylinder head, wipe itclean, then inspect the liit ramps, Replace thecamshaft if any lobes are pitted. scored, orexcessively worn,- Clean the camshaft bearing surfaces in the cylin-der head, then set the camshaft back in place.- Place a plastigage strip across each Iournal.
Install the camshaft holders, and tighten the bolts tothe soecified toroue.

6, Remove the camshaft holders. then measure the
widest ponion of the plastigage on each journal.
Camshaft-to-Holder Oil Clearance:
Standard lNew):0.050 - 0.08!t mm

Service Limit : 0.15 mm {0.006 in)
lf the camshaft-to-holder oil clearance is out ot tol-
erance:- And the camshaft has already been replaced,
you must replace the cylinder head.
- lf the camshaft has not been replaced, first check
the total runout with the camshaft supported on
V-blocks.
Camshaft Total Runout:
Standard (New): 0.03 mm (0.001 inl max.
Service Limit: 0.04 mm {0.(X)2 in)

Rotate camshattwhile measuring.
L
- lf the total runout of the camshaft is within toler-
ance, replace the cylinder head.
- lf the total runout is out of tolerance, replace the
camshaft and recheck the camshaft-to-holder oil
clearance. lf the oil clearance is still out of toler-
ance. replace the cylinder head.

Valves, Valve Springs and Valve Seals
Removal
NOTE: ldentify valves and valve springs as they areremoved so that each item can be reinstalled in its orioi-nal oosition.
'1. Using an appropriate-sized socket and plastic mal-let. lightly tap the valve retainer to loosen the valve
keepers before installing the valve spring compres-
sor.
Install the spring compressor. Compress the spring
and remove the valve keeper.

. lf the measurement exceeds the service limit,
recheck using a new valve.
. lf the measurement is now within the service
limit, reassemble using a new valve.
. lf the measurement still exceeds the limit,
recheck using the alternate method below, then
replace the valve and guide, if necessary.
NOTE: An alternate method of checking guide to
stem clearance is to subtract the O.D. of the valve
stem, measured with a micrometer, from the l.D. of
the valve guide, measured with an inside
micrometer or ball gauge. Take the measurements
in three places along the valve stem and three
places inside the valve guide. The difference be-
tween the largest guide measurement and the
smallest stem measurement should not exceed the
service limit.
