1. Put V block on precise flat work bench, and support No. 1 andNo. 5 journals of the camshaft.
2. Set dial indicator vertically to No. 3 journal.
3. Turn the camshaft to one direction, and measure the camshaft runout on dial indicator (total indicator reading).
• If measurement exceeds specif ication, replace the camshaft.
Camshaft Cam Height
• Measure the camshaft cam height.
• If measurement is not within the specifications, replace the cam-
shaft.
Camshaft Journal Clearance
Camshaft Journal Diameter• Measure the diameter of the camshaft journal.
Camshaft Bracket Inner Diameter• Tighten the camshaft bracket bolt to the specified torque.
• Measure the inner diameter of the camshaft bracket.
Calculation of Camshaft Journal Clearance
(Journal clearance) = (camshaft bracket inner diameter) – (camshaft
journal diameter)
• If measurement is not within spec ification, replace either or both
camshaft and cylinder head.
NOTE:
The inner diameter of the camshaft bracket is manuf actured together with the cylinder head. Replace the
whole cylinder head as an assembly.

• Install dial gauge in the thrust direction on the front end of the cam-
shaft. Measure the end play when the camshaft is moved forward/
backward (in direction to axis).
• If measurement is out of the specified range, replace the camshaft and measure again.
• If measurement is still out of t he specified range, replace the cylin-
der head.
• Measure the following parts if end play is outside the specified value.
- Dimension ″A ″ for camshaft No. 1 journal
- Dimension ″B ″ for cylinder head No. 1 journal
• If measurements are not within specification, replace the camshaft and/or cylinder head.

• Measure the diameter of the valve lifter.
Valve Lifter Hole Diameter• Measure the diameter of the valve lifter hole of the cylinder head,using suitable tool.
Calculation of Valve Lifter Clearance
(Valve lifter clearance) = (valve lifter hole diameter) – (valve lifter
diameter)
• If the measurement is not within specification, referring to each specification of the valve lifter diameter and hole diameter, replace
either or both the valve lifter and cylinder head.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the valve lifters if removed. • Install removed parts in their original locations.
2. Install the camshafts. Refer to the table below for identification of the RH and LH, and intake and exhaust.
• Install so that the RH bank (B) dowel pins (A) and LH bank (C)dowel pins (A) at the front of the camshaft face are in the
direction shown.Standard : 33.977 - 33.987 mm (1.3377 - 1.3381 in)
