x 38(.23 x 1.50)(3) Turn the crankshaft clockwise by two teeth of the
camshaft sprocket.
Caution
As the purpose of this procedure is to apply the
proper amount of tension on the timing belt, be
sure not to rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise
or place pressure on the belt to check the amount of
tension.(4) Apply force on tensioner toward turning direction, (in
the direction of the arrow) such that no portion of the
belt raises out in portion A, place the belt on the
camshaft sprocket such that the belt sprocket teeth arefully engaged.
(5) Tighten the tensioner installation bolt and tensioner
spacer in that order.
Caution
If the tensioner spacer is tightened first, the ten-
sioner will rotate with it and belt tension be thrown
out of adjustment. Always tighten the bolt first.(6) Check to see that the clearance between the outside of
the belt and the cover are within the standard value by
grasping the tension side (between the camshaft
sprocket and oil pump sprocket) of the centre part of
the timing belt between the thumb and index finger.
Standard value: 12 mm (.40 in.)

9. REMOVAL OF ROCKER ARM AND SHAFT ASSEMBLYBefore removing the rocker arm and shaft assembly, use
the special tool to ensure that the lash adjuster doesn’t fall
out.
Caution
Put the rocker arms and lash adjusters in order in
cylinder No. separated places with clear distinction
between the intake and exhaust ones to prevent
confusion.

(1) Visually check the camshaft journal surfaces and replace if
damage or seizure is evident.
If the journal is seized, check the cylinder head for possibledamage. Check also for clogged oil holes in the cylinder
head.
(2) Check cams for excessive wear and damage and replace if
defects are evident. Measure the cam height and replace ifthe limit is not reached.

coolant leakage.l
Remove the scale, sealing compound and carbon deposits
completely. After cleaning oil passages, apply compressedair to make certain that the passages are clear.
l Check the cylinder head gasket surface for flatness by
using a straight edge in the direction of A, B, . . . as shown. Ifthe flatness exceeds the limit in any direction, either
resurface or replace the cylinder head.

damaged or deformed valves.
(2) If stem tip A is pitted, correct with an oil stone or other
means. The correction must be limited to a minimum. Also

VALVE SPRING SEAT
Install the spring seat, then using the special tool, install the-stem seal by lightly tapping the tool. Seal is installed in
-dspecified position using the special tool.
Caution
1. Incorrect installation of the seal without using the
special tool will result in poor sealing and cause oil
leakage down valve guide.
2. Do not reuse stem seal.
12.18. INSTALLATION OF EXHAUST, INTAKE VALVEApply engine oil to each valve. Insert valves into the valve
guides. Avoid inserting the valve into the seal with force.
After insertion, check to see if the valve moves smoothly.PL
