Rocker Arm-to-Rocker Arm Shaft Clearance
Using a micrometer and a bore gauge, measure rocker shaft dia.
and rocker arm l.D.
Difference between two readings is arm-to-shaft clearance on
which a limit is specified.
If limit is exceeded, replace shaft or arm, or both.

Cam Wear
Using a micrometer, measured height of cam. If measured height
is below limit, replace camshaft.

Camshaft Runout
Hold camshaft between two “V” blocks, and measure runout by us-
ing a dial gauge.
If runout exceeds the limit, replace 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 housing.

Check clearance by using gaging plastic.
The procedure is as follows.
1) Clean housing and camshaft journals.
2) Install camshaft to cylinder head.
3) Place a piece of gaging plastic the full width of journal of cam-
shaft (parallel to camshaft).
4) Install camshaft housing referring to “INSTALLATION” of the fol-
lowing page.
5) Tighten camshaft housing bolts in such order as indicated in fig-
ure a little at a time till they are tightened to specified torque.
Tightening Torque
(a): 11 N
.m (1.1kg-m, 8.0 lb-ft)
NOTE:
Do not rotate camshaft while gaging plastic is installed.
6) Remove housing and using scale (2) on gaging plastic (1) enve-
lope, measure gaging plastic width at its widest point.

If measured camshaft journal clearance exceeds limit, measure
journal (housing) bore and outside diameter of camshaft journal.
Replace camshaft or cylinder head assembly whichever the dif-
ference from specification is greater.

INSTALLATION
1) Apply engine oil to rocker arm shaft and rocker arms.
2) Check O-ring for damage or deterioration. Install O-ring to rock-
er arm shaft.
3) Install rocker arm shaft (3) with shaft bolt holes (4) facing up,
rocker arm (exhaust side) (2) and rocker arm spring (1).

.m (1.1 kg-m, 8.0 lb-ft)
5) Fill small amount of engine oil into arm pivot holding part (3) of
rocker arm shaft. Install rocker arm (intake side) (1) with clips (2)
to rocker arm shaft.
6) Apply engine oil to cams and journals on camshaft and put cam-
shaft on cylinder head. Install camshaft housing to camshaft and
cylinder head.
Apply engine oil to sliding surface of each housing against
camshaft journal.
Apply sealant to mating surface of No.6 housing which will
mate with cylinder head.

Indicates position from timing
belt side. Install in numerical
order starting from timing belt
side.
Indicates direction of housing.
Install so that arrow is directed
toward timing belt side.
Embossed marks are provided on each camshaft housing, in-
dicating position and direction for installation.
Install housing as indicated by these marks.
As camshaft housing No. 1 retains camshaft in proper position
as to thrust direction, make sure to first fit No. 1 housing to No.
1 journal of camshaft securely.
After applying engine oil to housing bolts, tighten them tempo-
rarily first. Then tighten them by the following sequence as in-
dicated in figure.
Tighten a little at a time and evenly among bolts and repeat
tightening sequence three to four times before they are tight-
ened to specified torque.

7) Install camshaft oil seal (1).
After applying engine oil to oil seal lip, press-fit camshaft oil seal
till oil seal surface becomes flush with housing surface.
8) Install timing belt inside cover.
9) Install camshaft timing belt pulley (1) to camshaft while fitting pin
(2) on camshaft into slot at “E” mark.
