Brush Inspection
Measure the brush length. lf it is not within the service
limit, replace the brush (or brush holder assembly).
Brush Lsngth
Standard {Newl: 14.0 - I'1.5 mm (0.55 - 0.57 inl
Servico Limit: 9.0 mm (0.35 in)
NOTE: To seat new brushes after installing them in their
holders. slip a strip of #500 or #600 sandpaper, with the
grit side up, over the commutator and smoothly rotate
the armature. The contact surface of the brushes will be
sanded to the same contour as the commutator.

Overrunning Clutch Inspection
Slide the overrunning clutch along the shaft. Does it
move freely? lf not, replace it.
Rotate the overrunning clutch both ways. Does it
lock in one direction and rotate smoothly in
reverse? lf it does not lock in either direction or it
locks in both directions, reDlace it.
3.lf the starter drive gear is worn or damaged, replace
the overrunning clutch assembly; the gear is not
available separately.
Check the condition of the torque converter ring gear
or the flywheel ring gear if the starter drive gear
teeth are damaged.

Armature Inspection and Test
1. Inspect the armature for wear or damage due to
contact with the field winding. lf there is wear or
damage. replace the armature.
Check the commutator surface. lf the surface is dirty
or burnt, resurface with emery cloth or a lathe with-
in the tollowing specifications, or recondition with
#500 or #600 sandDaoer.
lnspect for damage.

3. Check the commutator diameter. lf commutator
diameter is below the service limit, reolace the
armalure.
Commutator Diameter
Standard (Newl: 27.9 - 28.0 mm (1.09 - 1.10 in)
Service Limilr 27.0 mm (1.06 inl
lf the commutator runout is within the service
limit, check the commutator for carbon dust or
brass chips between the segments.
lf the commutator runout is not within the ser-
vice limit, replace the armature.
Commutator Runout
Standard (Newl: 0 - 0.02 mm (0 - 0.0008 in)
Service Limit: 0.05 mm {0,002 inl
4. Measure the commutator runout.

5. Check the mica depth. lf necessary, undercut the
mica with a hacksaw blade to achieve proper depth.
lf the service limit cannot be maintained, reDlace
the armature.

Commutator Mica Depth
Standard (Nsw): 0.5 - 0.8 mm 10.02 - 0.03 inl
Servico Limit: 0.2 mm (0.008 in)
Check for continuity between the segments of the
commutator. lf an open circuit exists between any
segments. replace the armature.

7. Place the armature on an armature tester. Hold a
hacksaw blade on the armature core.
lf the blade is attracted to the core or vibrates while
the core is turned. the armature is shorted. Replace
the armature.
8. With an ohmmeter, check that no continuity exists
between the commutator and armature coil core,
and between the commutator and armature shaft. lf
there is continuity. replace the armature,

lgnition Timing Inspection and Setting
2.
1.Check the idle speed, and adjust it if necessary (see
section 1 1).
Pull out the service check connector 2P (BRN and
BLK wires) from the connector holder located under
the dash on the front passenger side, then connect
the scs service connector (P/N 07PAz - 0010100) to
it.
Start the engine. Hold the engine at 3,000 rpm with
no load (A/T in N or E, Mff in neutral) until the
radiator fan comes on, then let it idle.
Connect the timing light to the No. I ignition wire,
then point the light toward the pointer on the timing
belt cover.
Check the ignition timing in no load conditions:
headlights, blower fan, rear window defogger, and
air conditioner are not operating.

Charging System
IRectifier Test
NOTE: The diodes are designed to allow current to pass
in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direc
tion. Since the alternator rectifier is made up of eight
diodes (four pairs), each diode must be tested for continuity in both directions with an ohmmeter that has diode
checking capability; a total of 16 checks.
'l. Check for continuity in each direction between- the B and P terminals.- E (ground) and P terminals.
All diodes should have continuity in only one direc-
tion.
2. lf any of the diodes fails, replace the rectifier assem-
bly. (Diodes are not available separatelv.)

by removing its two screws.
Measure the length of the brushes with a vernier
calrper.
Alternator Brush Length:
Standard (Newl:10.5 mm 10.41 inl

Loosen the adjusting screws.
Remove the camshaft holders.
Mark the rocker arms, then remove them.
Reinstall the camshaft and holders. Tighten the
camshaft holder bolts in a crisscross pattern, begin-
ning with the inner bolts.
9.8 N.m (1.0 kgf.m.7.2 lbf.ft)
Seat the camshafts by pushing them toward the dis-
tributor end of the head with a screwdriver.
Zero the dial indicator against the end of the
camshaft, push the camshaft back and forth and
read the end play.

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.
NOTE: Do not rotate the camshafts during inspection.

ance:
. And the camshaft has already been replaced,
you must replace the cylinder head.. lf the camshaft has not been replaced, first check
total runout with the camshaft suoDorted on V-
blocks.

- lf the total runout of the camshafts is within tol-
erance, replace the cylinder head
- lf the total runout is out of tolerance, replace the
camshafts and recheck. lf the oil clearance is still
out of tolerance, replace the cylinder head.

Valve Guides
Valve Movement
1. Measure the guide-to-stem clearance with a dial
indicator while rocking the stem in the direction of
normal thrust (wobble method),
lntake Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance:
Standard (Newl: 0.04 - 0.10 mm
(0.002 - 0.004 in)
Service Limit 0.16 mm (0.006 in)

Standard {Newl: 0.10 - 0.16 mm
(0.004 - 0.006 inl
Service Limit: 0,22 mm (0.009 inl
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, 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 between the largest guide measure-
ment and the smallest stem measurement should
not exceed the service limit.
lntake Valve Stem-to-Guide Clearance:
Standard (New): 0.02 - 0.05 mm

Replacement
1. As illustrated below, use a commercially available
air-impact valve guide driver attachment modified
to fit the diameter of the valve guides. In most
cases, the same procedure can be done using the
sDecial tool and a conventional hammer.

Select the proper replacement guides. and chill
them in the freezer section of a refrigerator for
about an hour.
Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder
head to 300"F (150"C). Monitor the temperature with
a cooking thermometer. Do not get the head hofter
than 300'F (150"C); excessive heat may loosen the
valve seaIs.
