Check shoe (1) for wear or damage.
INSTALLATION
1) Check that match marks (1) on intake and exhaust camshaft
timing sprockets are in match with notches (2) on cylinder
head as shown in figure.
2) Set key (3) and turn crankshaft to position key on upside of

sprocket. Then install crankshaft timing sprocket fitted with
chain to crankshaft.
CAUTION:
After timing chain is removed, never turn crankshaft and
camshafts independently more than such an extent (“a”,
“b”) as shown in figure.
If turned, interference may occur between piston and
valves and valves themselves, and parts related to piston
and valves may be damaged.
“a” :90°4. Camshaft (IN and EX) allowable turning range.
By marks on camshaft timing sprocket within 15° from notches on
cylinder head on both right and left.
“b” :15°5. Crankshaft allowable turning range.

INSPECTION
Cam Wear
Using a micrometer, measure cam height “a”. If measured height
is below its limit, replace camshaft.
Cam height “a” of camshaft
Camshaft Runout
Set camshaft between two “V” blocks, and measure its runout by
using a dial gauge.
If measured runout exceeds below limit, replace camshaft.
Camshaft runout limit
: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
Camshaft Journal Wear
Check camshaft journals and camshaft housings for pitting,
scratches, wear or damage.
If any malcondition is found, replace camshaft or cylinder head
with housing. Never replace cylinder head without replacing hous-
ings.
Check clearance by using gaging plastic. Checking procedure is
as follows.
1) Clean housings and camshaft journals.
2) Remove all tappets with shims.
3) Install camshafts to cylinder head.
4) Place a piece of gaging plastic to full width of journal of cam-
shaft (parallel to camshaft).
5) Install camshaft housing.
