C: INSPECTION
1. HYDRAULIC LASH ADJUSTER
1) Bleed air from hydraulic lash adjuster as described
below:
(1) While dipping hydraulic lash adjuster in engine oil,
as shown in Figure, push check ball in usinga2mm
(0.08 in) diameter round bar.
(2) With check ball pushed in, manually move plunger
up and down at one second intervals until air bubbles
disappear.
(3) After air bubbles disappear, remove round bar and
quickly push plunger in to ensure it is locked. If plunger
does not lock properly, replace hydraulic lash adjuster.
CAUTION:
Leave hydraulic lash adjuster (after air is bled) in
engine oil until it is ready for installation.
2) Replace hydraulic lash adjuster with a new one if valve
contact surface is scratched.

2. VALVE ROCKER ARM
1) Measure inside diameter of valve rocker arm and out-
side diameter of valve rocker shaft, and determine the dif-
ference between the two (= oil clearance).
Clearance between arm and shaft:
Standard
0.020—0.054 mm (0.0008—0.0021 in)
Limit
0.10 mm (0.0039 in)
If oil clearance exceeds specifications, replace valve
rocker arm or shaft.
NOTE:
Replace valve rocker arm or shaft, whichever shows
greater amount of wear.
Rocker arm inside diameter:
22.020—22.041 mm (0.8669—0.8678 in)
Rocker shaft diameter:
21.987—22.000 mm (0.8656—0.8661 in)
2) Measure inside diameter of rocker shaft support and
outside diameter of valve rocker shaft, and determine the
difference between the two (= oil clearance).
Clearance between support and shaft:
Standard
0.005—0.039 mm (0.0002—0.0015 in)
Limit
0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
If oil clearance exceeds specifications, replace rocker shaft
support or shaft.
NOTE:
Replace rocker shaft support or shaft, whichever shows
greater amount of wear.
Rocker shaft support inside diameter:
22.005—22.026 mm (0.8663—0.8672 in)
Rocker shaft diameter:
21.987—22.000 mm (0.8656—0.8661 in)
3) If cam or valve contact surface of valve rocker arm is
worn or dented excessively, replace valve rocker arm.
4) Check that valve rocker arm roller rotates smoothly. If
not, replace valve rocker arm.
3. VALVE ROCKER SHAFT
Visually check oil relief valve of shaft end for any of the
following abnormalities.
Breaks in check ball body
Foreign particles caught in valve spring
Oil leakage at check ball
CAUTION:
Repair or replace valve rocker shaft as necessary.

T: 5±1 (0.5±0.1, 3.6±0.7)
1) After bleeding air from hydraulic lash adjuster, position
hydraulic lash adjuster in valve rocker arm while dipping in
engine oil.
CAUTION:
Fill rocker arm oil reservoir chamber with engine oil.
Install a new hydraulic lash adjuster O-ring, being
careful not to scratch it.
Do not attempt to rotate hydraulic lash adjuster dur-
ing installation.
2) Arrange valve rocker arms, springs and shaft supports
in assembly order and insert valve rocker shaft. Ensure
that cutout portion of rocker shaft faces oil holes
Ain shaft
supports.
CAUTION:
Valve rocker arms, rocker shaft and shaft supports
have identification marks. Ensure parts with same
markings are properly assembled.
3) Install valve rocker shaft securing bolts while aligning
