Camshafts
Inspection
Loosen the adjusting screws.
Remove the camshaft holders and the rocker arms
NOTE: Mark the rocker arms before removing
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.
Camshalt End Play:
St.ndard lNow): 0.05 - 0.15 mm
(0.002 - 0.006 inl
Seivice Limit: 0.5 mm {0,02 in)
Remove the camshaft holder bolts from the cylinder
head.
NOTE: Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts two
turns at a time, in a crisscross pattern.
Lift the camshafts out ot the cylinder head. wipe
them clean, then inspect the lift ramps. Replace the
camshaft if any lobes are pitted, scored, or exces-
srvely worm
Clean the camshaft journal surfaces in the cylinder
head, then set the camshaft back in place. Insert a
plastigage strip across each iournal.
Install the camshaft holders and torque the bolts to
the values and in the sequence shown on page 6-30.
NOTE: Do not rotate camshafts during inspection.

11. lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearance is out of toler
ance:
. And the camshaft has already been replaced,
vou must replace the cylinder head.
. lf the camshaft has not been replaced, first check
total runout with the camshaft supported on V-
blocks.
Clmshaft Total Runout:
StEndard {New): 0.03 mm (0.001 inl max'
Servico Limit: o.Oil mm {0.002 inl
- 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.

Replacement
1. As illustrated in the removal steps of this proce-
dure, use a commercially-available air-impact driv-
er attachment modified to fit the diameter of the
valve guides. In most cases. tho same procedure
can be done using the Valve Guide Driver 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'Cl. Monitor the temperature with
a cooking thermometer.
CAUTION:
. Do not use a torch; it may warP the hgad.
. Do not get ths head hottq than 3OO'F 1150"C);

NOTE: For new valve guides only.
Coat both reamer and valve guide with cutting oil.
Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of the
valve guide bore.
Continue to rotate the reamet 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 6-24).
. Verify that the valve slides in the intake 8nd

lf camshaft'to-holder oil clearances are within specifica-
tions, check the head for warpage.
lf warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in) cylinder
head resurtacing is not required.
lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in) and 0.2 mm

Timing Belt
lnspection
Remove the cylinder head cover.
. Refer to page 6-78 when installing.
Inspect the timing belt for cracks and oil or coolant
soaking.
NOTE:
. Replace the belt if oil or coolant soaked.
. Remove any oil or solvent that gets onthe b€lt.
Rotate pulleyand inspect b6lt.
After inspecting. retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt
to 177 N.m (18.0 kgf.m, 130 lbf.ft).
Tension Adjustment
CAUTION: Always adlust timing bslt tsnsion with th6
engine cold.
NOTE:
. The tensioner is spring-loaded to apply proper ten-
sion to the belt automatically after making the follow-
ing adjustment.
a Alwavs rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise when
viewed trom the pulley side. Rotating it clockwise
may result in improper adjustment of the belt ten-
sion.
Remove the cylinder head cover. (Refer to page 6-
78 when installing.)
Set the No. 1 piston at TDC (see page 6-51).
Rotate the crankshaft 5-6 revolutions to set the belt.
