31. REMOVE CAMSHAFTS OF RH CYLINDER HEAD
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be held level while it is being removed. If the
camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the cylinder head
receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, caus-
ing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the follow-
ing steps should be carried out.
(a) Remove the intake camshaft.
(1) Align the timing marks (2 dot marks) of the camshaft
drive and driven gears by turning the camshaft with
a wrench.
(2) Secure the exhaust camshaft sub±gear to the main
gear with a service bolt.
Recommended service bolt:
Thread diameter6 mm
Thread pitch1.0 mm
Bolt length16 ± 20 mm (0.63 ± 0.79 in.)

bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
(4) Remove the 5 bearing caps and intake camshaft.
(b) Remove the exhaust camshaft.
(1) Uniformly loosen and remove the 10 bearing cap
bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
(2) Remove the 5 bearing caps, oil seal and exhaust
camshaft.
32. REMOVE CAMSHAFTS OF LH CYLINDER HEAD
NOTICE:
Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the
camshaft must be held level while it is being removed. If the
camshaft is not kept level, the portion of the cylinder head
receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, caus-
ing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the follow-
ing steps should be carried out.
(a) Remove the intake camshaft.
(1) Align the timing marks (1 dot mark) of the camshaft
drive and driven gears by turning the camshaft with
a wrench.

13. INSPECT CAMSHAFT FOR RUNOUT
(a) Place the camshaft on V±blocks.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout at the
center journal.
Maximum circle runout: 0.06 mm (0.0024 in.)
If the circle runout is greater than maximum, replace the cam-
shaft.
14. INSPECT CAM LOBES
Using a micrometer, measure the cam lobe height.
Standard cam lobe height:
Intake42.11 ± 42.21 mm (1.6579 ± 1.6618 in.)
Exhaust41.96 ± 42.06 mm (1.6520 ± 1.6559 in.)
Minimum cam lobe height:
Intake41.96 mm (1.6520 in.)
Exhaust41.81 mm (1.6461 in.)
If the cam lobe height is less than minimum, replace the cam-
shaft.
15. INSPECT CAMSHAFT JOURNALS
Using a micrometer, measure the journal diameter.
Journal diameter:
Intake26.949 ± 26.965 mm (1.0610 ± 1.0616 in.)
Exhaust26.959 ± 26.975 mm (1.0613 ± 1.0620 in.)
If the journal diameter is not as specified, check the oil clear-
ance.
16. INSPECT CAMSHAFT BEARINGS
Check that bearings for flaking and scoring.
If the bearings are damaged, replace the bearing caps and cyl-
inder head as a set.

(f) Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance:
Intake0.035 ± 0.072 mm (0.0014 ± 0.0028 in.)

Maximum thrust clearance: 0.12 mm (0.0047 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
camshaft. If necessary, replace the bearing caps and cylinder
head as a set.
