INSPECTION
1. INSPECT TIMING BELT
NOTICE:
Do not bend, twist or turn the timing belt inside out.
Do not allow the timing belt to come into contact with
oil, water or steam.
Do not utilize timing belt tension when installing or re-
moving the mounting bolt of the camshaft timing
pulley.
If there are any defects as shown in the illustration, check these
points:
(a) Premature parting
Check for proper installation.
Check the timing cover gasket for damage and
proper installation.
(b) If the belt teeth are cracked or damaged, check to see if
either camshaft or water pump is locked.
(c) If there is noticeable wear or cracks on the belt face,
check to see if there are nicks on the side of the idler
pulley lock.
(d) If there is wear or damage on only one side of the belt,
check the belt guide and the alignment of each pulley.
(e) If there is noticeable wear on the belt teeth, check the tim-
ing cover for damage, correct gasket installation, and for
foreign material on the pulley teeth.
If necessary, replace the timing belt.
2. INSPECT IDLER PULLEYS
Check that the idler pulley turns smoothly.
If necessary, replace the idler pulley.
3. INSPECT TENSION SPRING
(a) Measure the free length of tension spring.
Free length: 46.0 mm (1.811 in.)
If the free length is not as specified, replace the tension spring.
(b) Measure the tension of the tension spring at the specified
installed length.
Installed tension (at 50.5 mm (1.988 in.)):
22 − 27 N (2.25 − 2.75 kgf, 5.0 − 6.1 lbf)
If the installed tension is not as specified, replace the tension
spring.

31. REMOVE NO. 3 TIMING BELT COVER
Remove the 3 bolts and timing belt cover.
NOTICE:
Support the timing belt, so the meshing of the crank-
shaft timing pulley and timing belt does not shift..
Be careful not to drop anything inside the timing belt
cover
Do not allow the belt to come into contact with oil, wa-
ter or dust.
32. REMOVE CAMSHAFTS
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be kept 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, caus-
ing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the follow-
ing steps should be carried out.
(a) Remove the exhaust camshaft.
(1) Set the knock pin of the intake camshaft at 10 − 45°
BTDC of camshaft angle.
HINT:
The above angle allows No. 2 and No. 4 cylinder cam lobes of
the exhaust camshaft to push their valve lifters evenly.
(2) Secure the exhaust camshaft sub gear to drive gear
with a service bolt.
Recommended service bolt:
Thread diameter6 mm
Thread pitch1.0 mm
Bolt length16 − 20 mm (0.63 − 0.79 in.)

(d) Check the valve overall length.
Standard overall length:
Intake97.60 mm (3.8425 in.)
Exhaust98.45 mm (3.8760 in.)
Minimum overall length:
Intake97.1 mm (3.823 in.)
Exhaust98.0 mm (3.858 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 length.
7. INSPECT AND CLEAN VALVE SEATS
(a) Using a 45° carbide cutter, resurface the valve seats.
Remove only enough metal to clean the seats.
(b) Check the valve seating position.
Apply a light coat of prussian blue (or white lead) to the
valve face. Lightly press the valve against the seat. Do not
rotate valve.
(c) Check the valve face and seat for the following:
If blue appears 360° around the face, the valve is
concentric. If not, replace the valve.
If blue appears 360° around the valve seat, the
guide and face are concentric. If not, resurface the
seat.
Check that the seat contact is in the middle of the
valve face with the following width:
1.0 − 1.4 mm (0.039 − 0.055 in.)
