ROCKER SHAFT AND ROCKER ARM
1. Check valve rockers, brackets and rocker shafts for scoring,
wear or distortion. Replace if necessary.
2. Check clearance between valve rockers and rocker shaft. If
specified clearance is exceeded, replace affected valve rock-
ers or shafts.
Specified clearance: mm (in)
Standard

3. Check rocker shaft bend at its center. If bend is within speci-
fied limit, straighten it; and if it is greater than specified limit,
replace rocker shaft.

(Total indicator reading):
Limit
Less than 0.3 mm (0.012 in)
MEASURING CYLINDER HEAD TO VALVE DISTANCE
Measure distance from cylinder head surface to intake and
exhaust valves. If specified distance is exceeded, replace
valve(s) or valve seat(s).

a. When replacing only cylinder head gasket, install same
grade gasket as the one formerly used.
b. When replacing or repairing cylinder block, cylinder head,
piston, connecting rod and crankshaft, select gasket as fol-
lows:
lSelecting gasket thickness
(1) Measure piston projection from cylinder block surface.
a. Measure the projection a and a¢(cylinder liner height above
cylinder block) at two points in each cylinder.
b. Measure the projection b and b¢(piston height above cylin-
der block) at two points, when the piston is at the top dead
center position.
c. Calculate the piston height projection above cylinder liner b
-a(b¢-a¢).
d. Average the two projections (piston height above cylinder
liner) for each cylinder H
L.
(2) Select suitable cylinder head gasket which conforms to the
largest amount of projection of the four pistons.
Unit: mm (in)

3. Apply oil to the thread portion and seat surface of bolts and
tighten cylinder head bolts using Tool.
CAUTION:
lTightening procedure
1st: Tighten bolts to 39 - 44 Nzm
(4.0 - 4.5 kg-m, 29 - 33 ft-lb).
2nd: Tighten bolts to 59 - 64 Nzm
(6.0 - 6.5 kg-m, 43 - 47 ft-lb).
3rd:
(1) Mark exhaust side of cylinder head and cylin-
der head bolts with paint as shown.
(2) Turn all bolts 90 10 degrees clockwise.
(3) Check that the paint mark of each bolt is fac-
ing the front of the vehicle.
lAlways check the bolt tightening angle with an
angle wrench or protractor. Do not check visu-
ally.
4. Apply engine oil and install push rods.
5. Install rocker shaft assembly.
Adjust intake and exhaust valve clearance tentatively.
Refer to ``Adjusting Intake and Exhaust Valve Clearance'',
``ENGINE MAINTENANCE'' in MA section.
6. Install rocker cover.
lBe sure the ``F'' mark on rocker cover plate faces upward and
is at the front end.
lWhen replacing rocker cover gasket, bend slit of rocker cover
baffle plate a little to hold the gasket. Do not twist gasket.
lTighten all bolts in numeral sequence (as shown in the
figure at left) to the specified torque.
