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.
PLASTIGAGE

Valves, Valve Springs and
Valve Seals
Valve lnstallation
When instaliing valves in the cylinder head, coat
valve stems with oil before insening them into valve
guides, and make sure valves move up and down
smoothlv.
When valves and springs are in place, lightly tap the
end of each valve stem two or three times to snsure
proper seating of valves and valve keepsrs (use plas-
tic mallet).
NOTE: Tap the valve stem only along its axis so you
do not bend the stem.

Measure the guide-to-stem clearance with a dial indica-
tor while rocking the stem in the direction of normal
thrust (wobble method).

lf measurement exceeds the service limit, recheck
using a new valve.
lf measurement is now within the service limit,
reassemble using a n€w valve.
lf measurement still exceeds limit, recheck using
alternate method below. then replace 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, mea-
sured 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 diiference between the largest guide measurement
and the smallest stem measurement should not exceed
the service limit

Reaming
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
exhaust valve guides without ex€rting pressure.

NOTE:
. Always use a new head gasket.
. Cylinder head and cylinder block surface must be
ctean.
. "UP" mark on the timing belt pulleys should be at the
top.
. Do not use the middle cover and lower cover for stor-
ing items disassembled.
. Clean the middle cover and lower cover before instal-
lation.
. Replace the washer when damaged or deteriorated.'1. Cylinder head dowel pins and the oil control orifice
must be aligned,
NOTE:
. When handling a metal gasket, care should be
taken not to told it or damage the contact surface
of the gasket.
. Clean the oil control orifice when installing.

NOTE: lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances (see page 6-
21) are not within specitication, the head cannot be
resurfaced.
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
(0.008 in), resurface cylinder head.
Maximum resurface limit is 0.2 mm (0.008 in) based
on a height of 132.0 mm (5.20 in).
Measure along edges, and 3 ways across center.

NOTE:
. Before installing the rubber seal, thoroughly
clean the seal and the groove.
. When installing, make sure the seal is seated
securely in the corners of the recass€s with no
gap.
