C: INSPECTION
1. VALVE ROCKER ARM
1) Measure inside diameter of valve rocker arm
and outside diameter of valve rocker shaft, and
determine the difference between the two (= oil
clearance).
Clearance between arm and shaft:
Standard
0.020 Ð 0.054 mm (0.0008 Ð 0.0021 in)
Limit
0.10 mm (0.0039 in)
IIf oil clearance exceeds specifications, replace
valve rocker arm or shaft.
NOTE:
Replace valve rocker arm or shaft, whichever
shows greater amount of wear.
Rocker arm inside diameter:
22.020 Ð 22.041 mm (0.8669 Ð 0.8678 in)
Rocker shaft diameter:
21.987 Ð 22.000 mm (0.8656 Ð 0.8661 in)
B2M0072
B2M0073
2) Measure inside diameter of rocker shaft sup-
port and outside diameter of valve rocker shaft,
and determine the difference between the two (=
oil clearance).
Clearance between support and shaft:
Standard
0.005 Ð 0.039 mm (0.0002 Ð 0.0015 in)
Limit
0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
IIf oil clearance exceeds specifications, replace
rocker shaft support or shaft.
NOTE:
Replace rocker shaft support or shaft, whichever
shows greater amount of wear.
Rocker shaft support inside diameter:
22.005 Ð 22.026 mm (0.8663 Ð 0.8672 in)
Rocker shaft diameter:
21.987 Ð 22.000 mm (0.8656 Ð 0.8661 in)
3) If cam or valve contact surface of valve rocker
arm is worn or dented excessively, replace valve
rocker arm.
4) Check that valve rocker arm roller rotates
smoothly. If not, replace valve rocker arm.
2. INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVE
ROCKER SHAFT
Visually check oil relief valve of shaft end for any
of the following abnormalities.
IBreaks in check ball body
IForeign particles caught in valve spring
IOil leakage at check ball
CAUTION:
Repair or replace valve rocker shaft as neces-
sary.
