NOTE:
Rocker Arms and Shafts Disassembly/Reassembly
ldentify parts as they are removed to ensure reinstallation in original location.
Inspect the rocker shafts and rocker arms (see page 6-28).
The rocker arms must be installed in the same positions if reused.
When removing or installing the rocker arm assembly, do not remove the camshaft holder bolts. The bolts will keep
the holders, springs and rocker arms on the shaft.
Prior to reassembling, clean all the parts in solvent, dry them, and apply lubricant to any contact points.
Bundle the rocker arms with rubber bands to keeD them tooether as a set.

Gamshaft Inspection
NOTE: Do not rotate the camshaft during inspection.
1. Remove the rocker arm assembly (see page 6-26).
and disassemble it (see page 6-27).
2. Put the rocker shaft holders, camshaft, and
camshaft holders on the cylinder head, then tighten
the bolts to the specified torque.
Specified torque:
I mm bolis:
22 N.m {2.2 kgt m, 16lbf.ft}
6 mm bolts:
12 N.m {1.2 kgf.m,8.7 tbf.ftl

3. Seat the camshaft by pushing it away from the
camshaft pulley end ofthe cylinder head.
4. Zero the dial indicator against the end of the
camshaft, then push the camshaft back and forth
and read the end play. lf the end play is beyond the
service limit, replace the camshaft head and
recheck. lf it is still beyond the service limit, replace
the cylinder.
Camshaft End Play:

Block and Piston Inspection
Remove the crankshaft and pistons (se e pageT -121.
Check the piston for distortion or cracks,
Measure the piston diameter at a point I1 mm {0.4in.) from the bottom of the skirt. There are two
standard-size pistons (No Letter or A, and B). The
letter is stamped on the top of the piston. Letters
are also stamped on the block as cylinder bore
stzes.
Piston Diameter:
Standard (Newl:
No Letter {or A): 85.980 85.990 mm(3.3850 3.3854 in.)
B: 85.970-85.980 mm(3.3846-3.3850 in.)
Service Limit:
No Lefter lor A): 85.930 mm (3.3831 in.)
B: 85.920 mm 13.3827 in.)
Oversize Piston Diameter:
0.25: 86.230-85.240 mm (3.3949 -3.3953 in.l
4. Measure wear and taper in direction X and Y at
three levels in each cylinder as shown. lf
measurements in any cylinder are beyond the
oversize bore service limit. replace the block. lf the
block is to be rebored, refer to step 7 after reboring.
Cylinder Bore Size
Standard (New):
A or l: 86.010 86.020 mm
13.3862 3.3866 in.)
B or ll: 86.000 86.010 mm(3.3858 3.3862 in.)
Service Limit: 86.070 mm (3.3886 in.)
Oversize:
O.25t 96.250 86.260 mm (3.3957 3.3961 in.)
Reboring limit: 0.25 mm (0.01 in.l max.

OilPan lnstallation
Remove old liquid gasket from the oil pan mating
surfaces, bolts, and bolt holes.
Clean and dry the oil pan mating surfaces.
Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08718-0009, evenly to the
cylinder block mating surface of the oil pan and to
the inner threads of the bolt holes.
NOTE: Do not install the parts if 5 minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket. Instead,
reapply liquid gasket after removing old residue.
Installthe oil pan.
Tighten the bolts in two or three steps. In the final
step, tighten all bolts, in sequence, to 12 N.m (1.2
kgf m, 8.7 lbf.ft).
