SYSTEM” under “SERVICE PRECAUTIONS” in Section
10B.
3) If it is necessary to remove steering wheel and contact coil
and combination switch assembly, remove them, referring to
“STEERING WHEEL” and “CONTACT COIL AND COMBI-
NATION SWITCH ASSEMBLY”.
If it is not necessary to remove steering wheel and contact
coil and combination switch assembly, perform the following
procedure.
a) Turn steering wheel so that vehicle’s front tires are at
straight-ahead position.

3C-16 STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN
STEERING LOCK ASSEMBLY (IGNITION
SWITCH)
REMOVAL
1) Remove steering column (1). Refer to “STEERING COL-
UMN”.
2) Using center punch (1), loosen and remove steering lock
mounting bolts (2).
3) Turn ignition key to “ACC” or “ON” position and remove
steering lock assembly from steering column.
INSTALLATION
1) Position oblong hole (1) of steering shaft (2) in the center of
hole (3) in column (4).
2) Turn ignition key to “ACC” or “ON” position and install steer-
ing lock assembly (5) onto column (4).
3) Now turn ignition key to “LOCK” position and pull it out.
4) Align hub on lock with oblong hole (1) of steering shaft (2)
and rotate shaft to assure that steering shaft (4) is locked.
NOTE:
Use care not to damage aluminum part of steering lock
body with center punch.

STEERING WHEEL AND COLUMN 3C-17
5) Tighten new bolts (1) until head of each bolt is broken off.
6) Turn ignition key to “ACC” or “ON” position and check to be
sure that steering shaft (2) rotates smoothly. Also check for
lock operation.
7) Install steering column. Refer to “STEERING COLUMN”.
STEERING LOWER SHAFT
REMOVAL
1) Turn steering wheel so that vehicle’s front tires are at
straight-ahead position.
2) Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” position and remove key.
3) Remove steering joint cover (5).
4) Make alignment marks (4) on lower shaft (1) and shaft joint
of steering column (2) and lower shaft (1) and pinion shaft
(3) for a guide during reinstallation.
5) Remove lower shaft joint bolts (6).
6) Remove steering lower shaft (1).
CAUTION:
Never turn steering wheel while steering lower shaft is
removed.
Should it have been turned and contact coil (on combina-
tion switch) have got out of its centered position, it needs
to be centered again. Also, turning steering wheel more
than about two and a half turns will break contact coil.

Measure cylinder head bore and tappet outside diameter to deter-
mine cylinder head-to-tappet clearance. If clearance exceeds
limit, replace tappet or cylinder head.
Cylinder head to tappet clearance
Standard : 0.025 – 0.066 mm (0.0010 – 0.0026 in.)
Limit : 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)
Tappet outside diameter [A]
Standard : 30.959 – 30.975 mm (1.2189 – 1.2195 in.)
Cylinder head tappet bore [B]
Standard : 31.000 – 31.025 mm (1.2205 – 1.2215 in.)
INSTALLATION
1) Install tappets and shims to cylinder head.
Apply engine oil around tappet and then install it to cylinder

journal then install them as shown in figure.
NOTE:
When installing shim, make sure to direct shim No. side
toward tappet.
NOTE:
Before installing camshafts, turn crankshaft until key
position faces upward. Refer to “TIMING CHAIN AND
CHAIN TENSIONER”.
