CYLINDER HEAD COMPONENTS
INSPECTION AND REPAIR

10. INSPECT CAMSHAFTS AND BEARINGS
A. Inspect camshaft for runout
(a) Place the camshaft on V±blocks.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout at the center
journal.
Maximum circle runout:
0.08 mm ª(0.0031 in.)
If the circle runout is greater than maximum, replace the cam-
shaft.
B. Inspect cam lobes
Using a micrometer, measure the cam lobe height.
Standard cam lobe height:
Intake
44.570±44.670 mm (1.7547±1.7587 in.)
Exhaust
44.770±44.870 mm (1.7626±1.7665 in.)
Maximum cam lobe height:
Intake
44.42 mm (1.7488 in.)
Exhaust
44.62 mm (1.7567 in.)
If the cam lobe height is less than minimum, replace the cam-
shaft.
C. Inspect camshaft journals
Using a micrometer, measure the journal diameter.
Journal diameter:
28.949±28.965 mm (1.1397±1.1404 in.)
If the journal diameter is not as specified, check the oil clear-
ance.
D. Inspect camshaft bearings
Check the bearings for flaking and scoring.
If the bearings are damaged, replace the bearing caps and
cylinder head as a set.
E. Inspect camshaft journal oil clearance
(a) Clean the bearing caps and camshaft journals.
(b) Place the camshafts on the cylinder head.
(c) Lay a strip of Plastigage across each of the camshaft
journals.

Standard oil clearance:
0.035±0.072 mm (0.0014±0.0028 in.)
Maximum oil clearance:
0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the cam-
shaft. If necessary, replace the bearing caps and cylinder
head as a set.
(g) Completely remove the Plastigage.
F. Inspect camshaft thrust clearance
(a) Install the camshafts.
(See step 2 in cylinder head installation (2JZ±GE))

moving the camshaft back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.080±0.190 mm (0.0031±0.0075 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance:
0.30 mm (0.0118 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
camshaft. If necessary, replace the bearing caps and cylin-
der head as a set.
11. INSPECT VALVE LIFTERS AND LIFTER BORES
(a) Using a caliper gauge, measure the lifter bore diameter of the
cylinder head.
Lifter bore diameter:
31.000±31.016 mm (1.2205±1.2211 in.)
(b) Using a micrometer, measure the lifter diameter.
Lifter diameter:
