B: INSTALLATION
1) Apply engine oil to camshaft journals, and install
the camshaft.
2) Install the camshaft cap.
(1) Apply liquid gasket sparingly to back side of
front camshaft cap as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Do not apply liquid gasket excessively. Apply-
ing excessively may cause excess gasket to
flow toward cam journal, resulting in engine
seizure.
Liquid gasket:
THREE BOND 1280B (Part No. K0877YA018)
Applying liquid gasket diameter:
2.0±0.5 mm (0.079±0.020 in)
(2) Apply engine oil to cap bearing surface, and
install the cap to camshaft.
(3) Tighten the rocker cover bolts in the numer-
ical order as shown in the figure.
Tightening torque:
(1) — (12): 16 N·m (1.6 kgf-m, 12 ft-lb)
(13) — (16): 9.75 N·m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 ft-lb)
3) Install the plugs.
Tightening torque:
60 N·m (6.1 kgf-m, 44 ft-lb)
4) Install the rocker cover.
(1) Apply liquid gasket sparingly to the mating
surface of cylinder head and rocker cover as
shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Do not apply liquid gasket excessively. Apply-
ing excessively may cause excess gasket to
flow toward cam journal, resulting in engine
seizure.

C: INSPECTION
1) Measure the bend of camshaft. Repair or re-
place if bended.
2) Check the journal for damage and wear. Re-
place if faulty.
3) Measure the outside diameter of camshaft jour-
nal. If the journal diameter is not within specifica-
tion, check the oil clearance.
4) Measurement of the camshaft journal oil clear-
ance:
(1) Clean the bearing caps and camshaft jour-
nals.
(2) Place the camshafts on cylinder head.
(Without installing the valve rocker.)
(3) Place a plastigauge across each camshaft
journals.
(4) Install the bearing cap.
NOTE:
Do not turn the camshaft.

29.Engine Noise
A: INSPECTION
(NOTE*)
When disconnecting the fuel injector connector, the malfunction indicator light illuminates and DTC is stored in ECM memory.
Therefore, carry out the clear memory mode and inspection
mode after connecting the fuel injector connector.
Ty p e o f s o u n d C o n d i t i o n P o s s i b l e c a u s e
Regular clicking soundSound increases as engine
speed increases.
•Valve mechanism is defective.
•Incorrect valve clearance
•Worn valve rocker
•Worn camshaft
•Broken valve spring
•Trouble of tappet
Heavy and dull clankOil pressure is low.•Worn camshaft main bearing
•Worn connecting rod bearing (large end)
Oil pressure is normal. Damaged engine mounting
High-pitched clank
Sound is noticeable when
accelerating with an overload
condition.
•Ignition timing advanced
•Accumulation of carbon inside combustion chamber
