I Length of Valve
w Camshaft Cam Basic Circle Diameter
x Distance (Camshaft basic bore -- valve stem)y Half Camshaft Basic Bore Diameter
z Distance (Cylinder head cover parting surface --
valve stem)
8. Measure ’x’ (Camshaft basic bore -- valve stem).
’x’ = ’z’ -- ’y’
9. Determine the valve to be used.
(See ’Matching valves’)
Example) Measured value ’w’ = 38.2 mm
Measured value ’z’ = 36.5 mm
Value ’y’ = 15.5 mm
’x’ = 36.5 -- 15.5 = 21.0 mm
In the case of a camshaft cam basic circle diameter
’w’ = 38.2mm and a distance ’x’ = 21.0mm, the
installed valve may be used.

Measurement Procedure
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
2. Rotate the engine in the direction of engine rotation
until the intake valve of NO.1 cylinder is completely
closed. The cam lobe faces up (arrow).
Notice
Do not rotate the engine at the bolt of the crankshaft
sprocket. Do not rotate the engine in the opposite di-
rection of engine rotation. If do, thiswill cause seri-
ous measuring errors.
3. Install the dial gauge holder and dial gauge (7) with
the extension (8) to the cylinder head and position
the tracer pin (9) onto the valve tappet (intake valve
of cylinder NO.1) with a preload of min. 3mm.
Notice
The tracer pin should be positioned exactly vertical.

4. Set the dial gauge to ’0’.
5. Rotate the engine further in direction of rotation until
the dial gauge has moved back by 2mm (valve lift) to
1mm.
6. Check the timing.

Notice
If timing is out standard, the camshaft should be
checked for wear and the timing chain for stretch. If
adifferenceofmorethan4_exists, the timing chain
should be replaced.
7. Replace the gasket and install the cylinder head
cover.

7. Remove the camshaft bearing cap.
8. Pull off the camshaft.
Notice
Be careful not to miss front locking washer.
9. Pull out the locking washer.
Notice
Check the condition of locking washer and replace if
necessary.
Installation Procedure
1. Insert the locking washer.
2. Check the valve tappet and ensure that tappet
moves smoothly.
3. Coat the camshaft with oil and install the camshaft
onto the cylinder head so that the TDC marking (ar-
row) is positioned upward vertically.
4. Install the camshaft bearing caps according to
markings(1, 2, 3 etc.).

Notice
Always install the chain tensioner to be filled with oil.
Place the chain tensioner in engine oil up to over the
collar on the hexagon headwith the thrust pin facing
up. Slowly push down the thrust pin as far as the
stop 7~10 times with the aid of a press or a column
drill
Faulty chain tensioners should be replaced com-
pletely.
