CAMSHAFT

1. Remove camshaft. Refer to EM-41, "REMOVAL" .
2. Remove valve lifters at the locations that are out of the standard.
3. Measure the center thickness of the removed valve lifters with a
micrometer.
4. Use the equation below to calculate valve lifter thickness for replacement.

Thickness of new valve lifter can be identified by stamp mark
on the reverse side (inside the cylinder).
Stamp mark “696” indicates 6.96 mm (0.2740 in) in thickness.
NOTE:
Available thickness of valve lifter: 26 sizes range 6.96 to 7.46 mm (0.2740 to 0.2937 in) in steps of 0.02
mm (0.0008 in) (when manufactured at factory). Refer to EM-110, "
Available Valve Lifter" .
5. Install the selected valve lifter.
6. Install camshaft. Refer to EM-47, "
INSTALLATION" .
7. Manually rotate crankshaft pulley a few rotations.
8. Make sure that valve clearances for cold engine are within specifications by referring to the specified val-
ues. Refer to EM-50, "
INSPECTION" .
9. Install all removed parts in the reverse order of removal. Refer to EM-47, "
INSTALLATION" .
10. Warm up the engine, and check for unusual noise and vibration.
