NOTEr When reassembling the primary rocker arm,carefully apply air pressure to the oil passage of therocker arm.
1. Inspect the rocker arm piston. push it manually.- lf it does not move smoothly, replace the rockerarm assembty.

Remove the bolts, then remove the camshaft hold-ers from the cylinder head.- Lift the camshaft out of the cylinder head, wipe itclean, then inspect the liit ramps, Replace thecamshaft if any lobes are pitted. scored, orexcessively worn,- Clean the camshaft bearing surfaces in the cylin-der head, then set the camshaft back in place.- Place a plastigage strip across each Iournal.
Install the camshaft holders, and tighten the bolts tothe soecified toroue.

6, Remove the camshaft holders. then measure the
widest ponion of the plastigage on each journal.
Camshaft-to-Holder Oil Clearance:
Standard lNew):0.050 - 0.08!t mm

Service Limit : 0.15 mm {0.006 in)
lf the camshaft-to-holder oil clearance is out ot tol-
erance:- And the camshaft has already been replaced,
you must replace the cylinder head.
- lf the camshaft has not been replaced, first check
the total runout with the camshaft supported on
V-blocks.
Camshaft Total Runout:
Standard (New): 0.03 mm (0.001 inl max.
Service Limit: 0.04 mm {0.(X)2 in)

- lf the total runout of the camshaft is within toler-
ance, replace the cylinder head.
- lf the total runout is out of tolerance, replace the
camshaft and recheck the camshaft-to-holder oil
clearance. lf the oil clearance is still out of toler-
ance. replace the cylinder head.

Warpage
NOTE: lf the camshaft-to-holder oil clearances (see
page 6-36) are not within specification, the cylinder head
cannot be resurfaced.
lf the camshaft-to-holder oil clearances are within sDeci,
fications, check the cylinder head lor warpage.
lf warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in), cylin-
der head resurfacing is not required.
lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in) and
0.2 mm {0.008 in), resurface the cylinder head.
Maximum resurface limit is 0,2 mm (0.008 in)
based on a height of 93 mm (3.66 in).
Measure along edges, and three ways across center.

Reconditioning
'1. Renew the valve seats in the cylinder head using a
valve seat cutter.
NOTE: lf the guides are worn (see page 6-39).
replace them (see page 6-41) belore cutting the
valve seats.

4.
Carefully cut a 45'seat, removing only enough
material to ensure a smooth and concentric seat.
Bevel the upper edge of the seat with the 30. cutter
and the lower edge of the seat with the 60' cutter.
Check the width of the seat and adjust accordingly.
Make one more very light pass with the 45" cutter to
remove any possible burrs caused by the other cut-
Iers.
Valve Seat Width:
Standard (N€w):
Intake: 0.85 - 1.15 mm 10.033 - 0.045 in)
Exhaust: 1.25 - 1.55 mm {0.049 - 0.061 in}
Sorvice Limit:
Intake: 1.6 mm (0.063 inl
Exhausl: 2.0 mm (0.079 in)

5. After resurfacing the seat, inspect for even valve
seatingr Apply Prussian Blue compound to the
valve face, and insert the valve in its original loca-
tion in the head, then liit and snap it closed against
the seat several times.

4. Install the valve spring and valve retainer. then
install the valve spring compressor. Compress the
spring and installthe valve keepers.
NOTE: Place the end of the valve spring with close-
ly wound coils toward the cylinder head.

Lightly tap the end of each valve stem two or three
times with a plastic mallet to ensure proper seating
of the valve and valve keepers.
NOTE: Tap the valve stem only along its axis so you
do not bend the stem.

Installation
CAUTION:
. Make sure that all tockers are in alignment with their
valvgs when torquing the rocket assembly bolts,. Valve locknuls should be loosened and adiusting
screws backed off bofore installation.
. To prevont tho rocker arm a$smbly from coming
apad, l6av€ the camshaft holder bohs in the holdeB.
1. After wiping down the camshaft, camshaft seal andjournals in the cylinder head, lubricate both sur-
faces and install the camshaft.
2. Clean and install the oil control orifice with a new
O-ring.
CAMSHAFT SEALSeal housing surface should be dry.Apply a light coat of oil to camshaftand inner lip of seal.
3. Turn the camshaft until its keyway is facing up (No.
piston TDC).

4. Apply liquid gasket (Part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718 -
0003) to the head mating surfaces of the No. 1 and
No.5 camshaft holders.- Apply liquid gasket to the shaded areas
Set the rocker arm assemblY in place and loosely
installthe bolts.- Make sure that the rocker arms are properly posi-
tioned on the valve stems.
Tighten each bolt two turns at a time in the sequence
shown below to ensure that the rockers do not bind
on the valves.
Specitied torquo:
8 mm bolts: 20 N.m (2.0 kgt'm, l/t lbf'ft)
Apply engine oil to the threads.
6 mm bolts: 12 N.m {1.2 kgif'm, 8.7 lbf'ft)

NOTE:
. Always use a new head gasket.
. Cylinder head and cylinder block surface must be
clean.
. "UP" mark on the camshaft pulley should be at the top
. Turn the crankshaft so the No. 1 piston is at TDC (see
page 6-20).
. Clean the oil control orifice before installing.
a Do not use the upper cover and lower cover to store
removeo rlems.
Clean the upper cover and lower cover before instal-
taUon.

11. When installing the cylinder head cover, hold the
head cover gasket in the groove by placing your fin-
gers on the camshaft holder contacting surfaces
(top of the semicircles)
Set the spark plug seal on the spark plug tube.
Once the cylinder head cover is on the cylinder
head, slide the cover slightly back and forth to seat
the head cover gasket.
NOTE:
. Before installing the cylinder head cover, clean
the cylinder head contacting surfaces with a
shop towel.
. Do not touch the parts where liquid gasket was
aDolied.
. Take care not to damage the spark plug seals
when installing the cylinder head cover,
. Visually check the spark plug seals for damage.
. Replace any washer that is damaged or deterio-
rated.
