37. DISCONNECT ENGINE WIRE FROM LH CYLINDER HEAD
Remove the five bolts, and disconnect the engine wire.
38. REMOVE ENGINE HANGERS Remove the two bolts and engine hanger. Remove the two
engine hangers.
39. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVERS Remove the eight bolts, seal washers, cylinder head cover
and gasket. Remove the two cylinder head covers.
40. IF NECESSARY, REMOVE SEMI±CIRCULAR PLUGS
41. REMOVE CAMSHAFTS NOTICE: Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is
small, the camshaft must be held level while it is being
removed. If the camshaft is not kept level, the portion of
the cylinder head receiving the shaft thrust may crack or
be damaged, causing due the camshaft to seize or break.
To avoid this, the following steps should be carried out.
A. Remove exhaust camshaft from RH cylinder head
(a) Bring the service bolt hole of the driven s ub±gear
upward by turning the hexagon wrench head portion of
the exhaust camshaft with a wrench.
(b) Secure the exhaust camshaft sub±gear to the driven
gear with a service bolt.
Recommended service bolt: Thread diameter 6 mm
Thread pitch 1.0 mm
Bolt length 16±20 mm (0.63±0.79 in.)
HINT: When removing the camshaft, make certain that the
torsional spring force of the sub±gear has been eliminated by
the above operation.

C. Remove exhaust camshaft from LH cylinder head(a) Bring the service bolt hole of the driven s ub±gear
upward by turning the hexagon wrench head portion of
the exhaust camshaft with a wrench.
(b) Secure the exhaust camshaft sub±gear to the driven gear with a service bolt.
Recommended service bolt: Thread diameter 6 mm
Thread pitch 1.0 mm
Bolt length 16±20 mm (0.63±0.79 in.)
HINT: When removing the camshaft, make certain that the
torsional spring force of the sub±gear has been eliminated by
the above operation.
(c) Set the timing mark (two dot marks) of the camshaft
driven gear at approx. 155 angle by turning the hexagon
wrench head portion of the exhaust camshaft with a
wrench.
(d) Alternately loosen and remove the two bearing cap bolts
holding the intake camshaft side of the oil feed pipe to
the cylinder head.
(e) Uniformly loosen and remove the eight bearing cap bolts in several passes in the sequence shown.
(f) Re mo ve th e oil fe e d pip e , fo u r be a rin g ca p s an d
exhaust camshaft.
D. Remove intake camshaft from LH cylinder head (a) Remove the front bearing cap.
(b) Set the timing mark ( one dot mark) of the camshaft drive
gear at approx. 605 angle by turning the hexagon
wrench head portion of the intake camshaft with a
wrench.

(d) Check the valve overall length.
Standard overall length:Intake 94.95 mm (3.7382 in.)
Exhaust 96.90 mm (3.8150 in.)
Minimum overall length: Intake 94.45 mm (3.7185 in.)
Exhaust 96.40 mm (3.7953 in.)
If the overall length is less than minimum, replace the valve.
(e) Check the surface of the valve stem tip for wear.
If the valve stem tip is worn, resurface the tip with a grinder
or replace the valve.
NOTICE: Do not grind off more than the minimum overall
length.
8. INSPECT AND CLEAN VALVE SEATS (a) Using a 455 carbide cutter, resurface the valve seats.
Remove only enough metal to clean the seats.
(b) Check the valve seating position.
Apply a thin coat of prussian blue (or white lead) to the valve
face. Lightly press the valve against the seat. Do not rotate
the valve.
(c) Check the valve face and seat for the following:w If blue appears 3605 around the face, the valve is
concentric. If not, replace the valve.
w If blue appears 3605 around the valve seat, the
guide and face are concentric. If not, resurface the
seat.
w Check that the seat contact is on the middle of the
valve face with the following width:
1.0±1.4 mm (0.039±0.055 in.)
If not, correct the valve seats as follows:
(1) If the seating is too high on the valve face, use 30 5
and 45 5 cutters to correct the seat.

(2) If the seating is too low on the valve face, use 755
and 45 5 cutters to correct the seat.
(d) Hand±lap the valve and valve seat with an abrasive compound.
(e) After hand±lapping, clean the valve and valve seat.
9. INSPECT VALVE SPRINGS (a) Using a steel square, measure the squareness of thevalve spring.
Maximum squareness: 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)
If squareness is greater than maximum, replace the valve
spring.
(b) Using a vernier caliper, measure the free length of the
valve spring.
Free length: 43.6 mm (1.717 in.)
If the free length is not as specified, replace the valve spring.
(c) Using a spring tester, measure the tension of the valvespring at the specified installed length.
Installed tension (at 32.9 mm (1.295 in.):
186±206 N (19.0±21.0 kgf, 41.9±46.3 lbf)
If the installed tension is not as specified, replace the valve
spring.
