Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts two turns at a
time, in a crisscross pattern, Then remove the
camshaft holder bolts from the cvlinder head.
Lift the camshafts out of the cylinder head. wipe
them clean, then inspect the lift ramps, Replace the
camshaft if any lobes are pitted, scored, or exces-
sively worn.
Clean the camshaft journal surfaces in the cylinder
head, then set the camshaft back in Dlace. Place aplastigage strip across each journal.
Install the camshaft holders. and torque the bolts tothe values and in the sequence shown on page 6-31.

Valve Guides

5.
Working from the camshaft side, use the driver andan air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (O.l
in) towards the combustion chamber. This willknock off some of the carbon and make removaleasier. Hold the air hammer directly in line with thevalve guide to prevent damaging the driver.
CAUTION: Always wear satety goggles or a faceshield when driving valve guidss.
Turn the head over and drive the guide out towardthe camshaft side of the head.
li a valve guide won't move, drill it out with a 8.0mm (5/16 in) bit, then try again. Dritt guides onty inextreme cases; you could damage the cylinder headif the guide breaks.
Remove the new guide(s) from the freezer, one at atlme, as you need them.

NOTE: For new valve guides only.
1. Coat the reamer and the valve guide with cutting oil.
2. Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of the
valve guide bore.
Continue to rotate the reamer clockwise while
removing it from the bore.
Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and water
to remove anY cutting residue.
Check clearance with a valve (see page 6-25).
Verify that the valves slide in the intake and exhaust
valve guides without exerting pressure.

NOTE: lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances (see page G22)
are not within specification, the head cannot be resur-

lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances are within specifica-
tions, check the head for warpage. Measure along the
edges, and three ways across the center.
. if warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in) cylinder
head resurfacing is not required
lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in) and 0.2 mm

4. Tighten the cylinder head bolts in two steps. In thefirst step tighten all bolts, in sequence, to about 29
N.m {3.0 kgf.m,22 lbf.ft); in the finat step, tighten inthe same sequence to 85 N.m (8.7 kgf.m,63 lbf.ft).
Use a beam-type torque wrench. When using a pre-
set-type torque wrench, be sure to tighten slowly
and do not overtighten.
lf a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,loosen the bolt, and retighten it from the 1st step.
