REMOVAL POINTS
Camshaft
1. Remove:
Timing plug 1
Straight plug 2
2. Align:
“I” mark
With stationary pointer.
Checking steps:
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with
a wrench.
Align the “I” mark a on the rotor with the
stationary pointer b on the crankcase
cover. When the “I” mark is aligned with
the stationary pointer, the piston is at the
Top Dead Center (T.D.C.).
NOTE:
In order to be sure that the piston is at Top
Dead Center, the punch mark c on the
exhaust camshaft and the punch mark d
on the intake camshaft must align with the
cylinder head surface, as shown in the
illustration.
If there is no clearance, rotate the crank-
shaft counterclockwise one turn.

ENGCYLINDER HEAD
INSPECTION
Cylinder head
1. Eliminate:
Carbon deposits (from the combustion
chambers)
Use a rounded scraper.
NOTE:
Do not use a sharp instrument to avoid damag-
ing or scratching:
Spark plug threads
Valve seats
2. Inspect:
Cylinder head
Scratches/damage → Replace.
3. Measure:
Cylinder head warpage
Out of specification → Resurface.
Cylinder head warpage:
Less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in)
Warpage measurement and resurface-
ment steps:
Place a straightedge and a feeler gauge
across the cylinder head.
Use a feeler gauge to measure the
warpage.
If the warpage is out of specification,
resurface the cylinder head.
Place a 400 ~ 600 grit wet sandpaper on
the surface plate, and resurface the head
using a figure-eight sanding pattern.
NOTE:
To ensure an even surface rotate the cylin-
der head several times.
