4. Measure:
lCamshaft-to-cap clearance
Out of specification ® Measure bearing
diameter (camshaft)
Camshaft-to-cap clearance:
0.020 ~ 0.054 mm
(0.0008 ~ 0.0021 in)
: 0.08 mm (0.003 in)
Measurement steps:
lInstall the camshaft onto the cylinder
head.
lPosition a strip of Plastigauge® 1 onto the
camshaft.
lInstall the circlip, dowel pins and camshaft
caps.
T R..
Bolt (camshaft cap):
10 Nm (1.0 m • kg, 7.2 ft • lb)
NOTE:
l.Tighten the bolts (camshaft cap) in a
crisscross pattern from innermost to outer
caps.
lDo not turn the camshaft when measuring
clearance with the Plastigauge®.
lRemove the camshaft caps and measure
the width of the Plastigauge
® 1.
5. Measure:
lBearing diameter (camshaft) a
Out of specification ® Replace the
camshaft.

ENGVALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
REMOVAL POINTS
1. Remove:
lValve lifters 1
lPads 2
NOTE:
Identify each lifter 1 and pad 2 position very
carefully so that they can be reinstalled in their
original place.
2. Check:
lValve sealing
Leakage at the valve seat ® Inspect
the valve face, valve seat and valve
seat width.
Checking steps:
lPour a clean solvent 1 into the intake and
exhaust ports.
lCheck that the valve seals properly.
There should be no leakage at the valve
seat 2.
3. Remove:
lValve cotters
NOTE:
Attach a valve spring compressor 1 between
the valve spring retainer and the cylinder head
to remove the valve cotters.

5. Measure:
lRunout (valve stem)
Out of specification ® Replace.
NOTE:
lWhen installing a new valve always replace
the guide.
lIf the valve is removed or replaced always
replace the oil seal.
6. Eliminate:
lCarbon deposits
(from the valve face and valve seat)
7. Inspect:
lValve seats
Pitting/wear ® Reface the valve seat.
Runout limit:
0.01 mm (0.0004 in)
8. Measure:
lValve seat width a
Out of specification ® Reface the valve
seat.
Valve seat width:
Intake:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm (0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Exhaust:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm (0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Measurement steps:
lApply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) b
to the valve face.
lInstall the valve into the cylinder head.
lPress the valve through the valve guide
and onto the valve seat to make a clear
pattern.
lMeasure the valve seat width. Where the
valve seat and valve face made contact,
blueing will have been removed.
lIf the valve seat is too wide, too narrow, or
the seat is not centered, the valve seat
must be refaced.

9. Lap:
lValve face
lValve seat
NOTE:
After refacing the valve seat or replacing the
valve and valve guide, the valve seat and
valve face should be lapped.
Lapping steps:
lApply a coarse lapping compound to the
valve face.
CAUTION:
Do not let the compound enter the gap
between the valve stem and the guide.
lApply molybdenum disulfide oil to the
valve stem.
lInstall the valve into the cylinder head.
lTurn the valve until the valve face and
valve seat are evenly polished, then clean
off all of the compound.
NOTE:
For best lapping results, lightly tap the valve
seat while rotating the valve back and forth
between your hands.
lApply a fine lapping compound to the
valve face and repeat the above steps.
NOTE:
After every lapping operation be sure to
clean off all of the compound from the valve
face and valve seat.
lApply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) to
the valve face.
lInstall the valve into the cylinder head.
lPress the valve through the valve guide
and onto the valve seat to make a clear
pattern.
lMeasure the valve seat width again. If the
valve seat width is out of specification,
reface and relap the valve seat.
