Inspection (cont'dl
7. lf the camshaft-to-holder oil clearance is out of 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 in} max.
Service Limit: 0.04 mm (0.002 inl
- 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 camshaft-to-holder oil clearances (see page 475)
are not within specification, the head cannot be resurfaced.
lf camshaft-to-holder oil clearances are within specifica-
tions, check the head for warPage.
. lf warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in) cylinder
head resurfacing is not required.
. lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in) and 0 2 mm
(0.008 in), resurface cylinder head
. Maximum resurface limit is 0.2 mm (0.008 in) based
on a height of 142 mm (5.59 in).

Valve extended 10 mm out from seat.
lf the measurement exceeds the service limit, recheck
using a new valve.
lf the measurement is now within the service limit.
reassemble using the new valve
lf the measurement still exceeds the limit. recheck using
the alternate method below. then replace the valve and
guide, if necessary.
NOTE: An alternate method of checking guide to stem
clearance is to subtract the o.D. of the valve stem, mea-
sured with a micrometer, from the l.D. of the valve guide,
measured with an inside micrometer or ball gauge.
Take the measurements in three places along the valve
stem and three places inside the valve guide.
The difference between the largest guide measurement
and the smallest stem measurement should not exceed
the service limit.

7. Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the outside
of the new valve guide. Install the guide from the
camshaft side of the head; use the special tool to
drive the guide in to the specified installed height. lf
you have all l6 guides to do, you may have to reheat
the head,

Reaming
NOTE: For new valve guides onlY.
1. Coat both reamer and valve guide with cufting oil.
2. Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of the
valve guide bore.
Continue to rotate the reamer clockwise while
removing it from the bore
Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and water
to remove any cutting residue.
Check clearance with a valve lsee page 6-73)
. Verify that the valve slides in the intake and
exhaust valve guides without exertlng pressure.

Install the timing belt (see page 6-63).
Adjust the valve clearance (see page 6-61).
Install the head cover gasket in the groove of the
cylinder head cover. Seat the recesses for the
camshaft first, then work it into the groove around
the outside edges,
NOTE:
. Before installing the head cover gasket, thorough-ly clean the head cover gasket and the groove.
. When installing, make sure the head cover gasket
is seated securely in the corners of the recesses
wrrn no gap.

14. Apply liquid gasket to the head cover gasket at theeight corners of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718- 0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and drybefore applying liquid gasket
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or morehave elapsed since applying tiquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing oldrestdue.
. After assembly. wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.

15. 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
(toD of the semicircles).
Once the cylinder head cover is on the cylinder
head, slide the cover slightly back and forth to seat
the head cover gasket.
NOTE:
. Be{ore installing the cylinder head cover, clean
the cvlinder head contacting surfaces using a
shoP towel.
. Oo not touch the parts where liquid gasket was
applied.
. Replace any washer taht is damaged or deter'o-
rated.

NOTE: After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes
before filling the engine with oil.
After installing, check that all tubes' hoses and con-
nectors are installed correctly.17.
