1. Loosen the adjusting screws.
2. Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts, then,removethe rocker arm assembly.
NOTE:
a Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts two turns at at,me, in a crisscross pattern, to prevent damao_ing the valves or rocker arm assembly.. When removing the rocker arm assembly, do notremove the camshaft holder bolts. The bolts willkeep the camshaft holders, the springs and therocker arms on the shaft.

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)

- 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.

tioned on the valve stems.
Tighten each bolt two turns at a time in the sequence
shown below to ensure that the rockers do not bind
on the valves.

NOTE:
. Always use a new head gasket.
. Cylinder head and cylinder block surface must be
clean.
. "UP" mark on the camshaft pulley should be at the top
. Turn the crankshaft so the No. 1 piston is at TDC (see
page 6-20).

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, thor-
oughly clean the seal and the groove.
. When installing, make sure the head cover gas-
ket is seated securely in the corners of the
recesses wath no gap.

Apply liquid gasket to the head cover gasket at the
four corners of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Pan No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718- 0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry
before applying liquid gasket.
. Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing old
residue.
. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before
filling the engine with oil.
