8. Install valve collet.
 Compress valve spring with the valve spring compressor, theattachment and the adapter (SST). Install valve collet with a
magnet hand.
CAUTION:
When working, take care not to damage valve lifter holes.
 Tap valve stem edge lightly with plastic hammer after installa- tion to check its installed condition.
9. Install valve lifter.  Install it in the original position.
10. Install spark plug tube.  Press-fit spark plug tube as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to cylinder head mounting hole.
b. Apply sealant to area within approximately 12 mm (0.47 in) from edge of spark plug tube press-fit side.
Use Genuine High Strength Locking Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-44
.
c. Using drift, press-fit spark plug tube so that its height “H” is as specified in the figure.
CAUTION:
 When press-fitting, take care not to deform spark plugtube.
 After press-fitting, wipe o ff liquid gasket protruding onto
cylinder-head upper face.
11. Install spark plug with spark plug wrench (commercial service tool).

VALVE DIMENSIONS
 Check the dimensions of each valv e. For the dimensions, refer to EM-149, "Standard and Limit".
 If dimensions are out of the standard, replace valve and check valve seat contact. Refer to "VALVE SEAT
CONTACT".
VALVE GUIDE CLEARANCE
Valve Stem Diameter
Measure the diameter of va lve stem with micrometer.
Valve Guide Inner Diameter
Measure the inner diameter of valve guide with an inside micrometer.

 Remove main bearing caps and bearings, and using the scale on
the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in the “Method by Calculation”.
MAIN BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
 When main bearing cap is removed after being tightened to thespecified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of bearing
must protrude. Refer to EM-123, "
Disassembly and Assembly" for
the tightening procedure.
 If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
 When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings installed, the
tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-123, "
Disassembly
and Assembly" for the tightening procedure.
 If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
MAIN BEARING CAP BOLT OUTER DIAMETER
 Measure the outer diameters (“d1”, “d2”) at two positions as shown
in the figure.
 If reduction appears in “A” range, regard it as “d
2”.
 If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace main bearing cap bolt with new one.

CAUTION:
Be careful not to scratch or make burrs on circumference
of oil seal.
 Using front oil seal drift (commerc ial service tool), press fit until
the height of front oil seal is level with the mounting surface.
 Make sure the garter spring is in position and seal lips not inverted.
9. Install chain tensioner cover to front cover.  Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with tube presser
(commercial service tool) to front cover as shown in the figure.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to

CAMSHAFT
3. With hexagonal part of camshaft locked with wrench, loosen
bolts securing camshaft sprocket to remove camshaft sprocket.
CAUTION:
 Do not loosen mounting bol ts with securing anything
other than the camshaft hexagonal portion or with ten-
sioning the timing chain.
 After removing timing chain, do not turn crankshaft and
camshaft separately, or valves will strike the piston head.
4. Remove intake and exhaust camshaft brackets.  Mark camshafts, camshaft brackets and bolts so placed in the same position and direction for installa-
tion.
 Equally loosen camshaft brackets and bolts in several steps in reverse order as shown in the figure.
 Lightly tapping with plastic hammer, remove camshaft bracket (No. 1) and camshaft bracket (No. 6).
NOTE:
The bottom surface of each bracket will be stuck to cylinder
head because of liquid gasket.
5. Remove camshaft.
6. Remove valve lifter if necessary.  Identify installation positions, and store them without mixing them up.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Camshaft Runout
1. Put V-block on precise flat table, and support No. 2 and 5 journalof camshaft.
CAUTION:
Do not support journal No. 1 (on the side of camshaft
sprocket) because it has a differe nt diameter from the other
four locations.
2. Set dial indicator vertically to No. 3 journal.
3. Turn camshaft to one direction with hands, and measure the camshaft runout on dial indicator. (Total indicator reading)
4. If it exceeds the limit, replace camshaft.
