Rocker Arms and Lost Motion Assemblies
Inspection (D16Y5, Dt6Y8 enginesl
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.

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)

Rotate camshattwhile measuring.

- 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.

Valve Guides
Replacement (cont'd)
Working from the camshaft side, use the driver andan air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (0.1 in)towards the combustion chamber. This will knock offsome of the carbon and make removal easier.
CAUTION:
. Always wear satety goggles or a face shield when
driving valve guides.
. Hold the air hammer directly in line with thevalve guide to prevent damaging the driver.
Turn the head over, and drive the guide out towardthe camshaft side of the head.

It a valve guide still won't move, drill it out with a8 mm {5/16 in) bit, then try again.
CAUTION: Drill guides only in extreme cases; you
could damage the cylinder head it the guide breaks.
6. Remove the new guides from the freezer, one at atime, as you need them.

I7. Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the outsideof the new valve guide. Install the guide from thecamshaft side of the head; use the special tool todrive the guide in to the specified insralled height. lfyou have all 16 guides to do, you may have to reheat
the head.

NOTE: For new valve guides only.
1. Coat both the reamer and valve guide with cufting

2. Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of the
valve guide bore.
3. Continue to rotate the reamer clockwise while
removing it from the bore.
4. Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and water
to remove any cutting residue.
5. Check the clearance with a valve (see page 6-391.
