INSPECTION
1. INSPECT STEERING LINKAGE
(a) Check the steering wheel freeplay (See page SR-10).
(b) Check the steering linkage for looseness or damage.

Check that the tie rod ends do not have excessive
play.

Check that the dust seals and boots are not dam-
aged.

Check that the boot clamps are not loose.
2. INSPECT SRS AIRBAG (See page RS-2)
3. INSPECT STEERING GEAR HOUSING OIL
Check the steering gear housing for oil leakage.
4. INSPECT DRIVE SHAFT BOOTS
Check the drive shaft boots for clamp looseness, leakage or
damage.
5. INSPECT BALL JOINT AND DUST COVERS
(a) Inspect the ball joints for excessive looseness.
(1) Jack up the front of the vehicle and place wooden
blocks with a height of 180 - 200 mm (7.09 - 7.87
in.) under the front tires.
(2) Lower the jack until there is about half a load on the
front coil spring. Place stands under the vehicle for
safety.
(3) Make sure the front wheels are in a straightforward
position and block the wheel with chocks.
(4) Move the lower arm up and down, and check that
the ball joint has no excessive play.
Maximum ball joint vertical play: 0 mm (0 in.)
If there is play, replace the ball joint.

9. INSPECT CAMSHAFTS AND BEARINGS
Inspect the camshaft for runout.
(1) Place the camshaft on V-blocks.
(2) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout at
the center journal.
Maximum circle runout: 0.04 mm (0.0016 in.)
If the circle runout is greater than maximum, replace the cam-
shaft.
10. INSPECT CAM LOBES
Using a micrometer, measure the cam lobe height.
Standard cam lobe height:
Intake41.514 - 41.614 mm (1.6344 - 1.6383 in.)
Exhaust41.011 - 41.111 mm (1.6146 - 1.6185 in.)
Minimum cam lobe height:
Intake41.35 mm (1.6279 in.)
Exhaust40.85 mm (1.6083 in.)
If the cam lobe height is less than minimum, replace the cam-
shaft.
11. INSPECT CAMSHAFT JOURNALS
Using a micrometer, measure the journal diameter.
Journal diameter:
Exhaust No.124.949 - 24.965 mm (0.9822 - 0.9829 in.)
Others22.949 - 22.965 mm (0.9035 - 0.9041 in.)
If the journal diameter is not as specified, check the oil clear-
ance.
12. INSPECT CAMSHAFT BEARINGS
Check that bearings for flaking and scoring.
If the bearings are damaged, replace the bearing caps and cyl-
inder head as a set.

(b) Check the lock plate height (H) after completing the caulk-
ing.
Plate height: 7.75 - 8.25 mm (0.305 - 0.325 in.)
If not within the specified height, adjust the stopper bolt of the
handle again and perform the caulking again.
6. INSPECT FOR WATER LEAKS
(a) Tighten the drain plug.
(b) Plug the inlet and outlet pipes of the radiator with SST.
SST 09230-01010
(c) Using a radiator cap tester, apply pressure to the radiator.
Test pressure: 177 kPa (1.8 kgf/cm
2, 26 psi)
(d) Inspect for leaks.
HINT:
On radiators with resin tanks, there is a clearance between the
tank and lock plate where a minute amount of air will remain,
giving the appearance of an air leak when the radiator is sub-
merged in water. Therefore, before performing the water leak
test, first move radiator around in the water until all air bubbles
disappear.
7. PAINT LOCK PLATES
HINT:
If the water leak test checks out okay, allow the radiator to com-
pletely dry and then paint the lock plates.
