NOTE:
. ldentify pans as they are removed to ensure reinstallation in original locations.. Inspect rocker shafts and rocker arms (see page 6-34).. Rocker arms must be installed in the same position if reused.t when removing or installing the rockerarm assembly, do not remove the camshaft holder bolts. The boltswill keeptheholders, springs and rocker arms on the shaft.

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
{0.002 - 0.004 in}
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)
-7.
Rotate camshattwhile measuring.
L
- 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.
