spring force of the sub±gear has been eliminated by the above
operation.
(3) Uniformly loosen and remove the 10 bearing cap
bolts, in several passes, in the sequence shown.
(4) Remove the 5 bearing caps and intake camshaft.
(b) Remove the 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.

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.

17. INSPECT CAMSHAFT JOURNAL OIL CLEARANCE
(a) Clean the bearing caps and camshaft journals.
(b) Place the camshafts on the cylinder head.
(c) Lay a strip of Plastigage across each of the camshaft jour-
nal.
(d) Install the bearing caps. (See page EM±57)
Torque: 16 N´m (160 kgf´cm, 12 ft´lbf)
NOTICE:
Do not turn the camshaft.
(e) Remove the bearing caps.
(f) Measure the Plastigage at its widest point.
Standard oil clearance:
Intake0.035 ± 0.072 mm (0.0014 ± 0.0028 in.)
Exhaust0.025 ± 0.062 mm (0.0010 ± 0.0024 in.)
Maximum oil clearance:
Intake0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
Exhaust0.09 mm (0.0035 in.)
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the cam-
shaft. If necessary, replace the bearing caps and cylinder head
as a set.
(g) Completely remove the Plastigage.
(h) Remove the camshafts.
18. INSPECT CAMSHAFT THRUST CLEARANCE
(a) Install the camshafts. (See page EM±57)
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while
moving the camshaft back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.040 ± 0.090 mm (0.0016 ± 0.0035 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.

REASSEMBLY
HINT:

Thoroughly clean all parts to be assembled.

Before installing the parts, apply new engine oil to all slid-
ing and rotating surfaces.

Replace all gaskets and oil seals with new ones.
1. INSTALL SPARK PLUG TUBES
HINT:
When using a new cylinder head, spark plug tubes must be
installed.
(a) Apply adhesive to the end of the spark plug tube.
Adhesive:
Part No. 08833±00070, THREE BOND 1324
or equivalent
(b) Using a press, press in a new spark plug tube until there
is 42.4 ± 43.4 mm (1.669 ± 1.709 in.) protruding from the
camshaft bearing cap installation surface of the cylinder
head.
NOTICE:
Avoid pressing a new spark plug tube in too far by measur-
ing the amount of the protrusion while pressing.
2. INSTALL PCV PIPES
HINT:
When using a new cylinder head, PCV pipe must be installed.
Using a wooden block and hammer, tap in a new PCV pipe until
its top side is flush with the cylinder head edge.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the cylinder head edge.
3. INSTALL VALVES
(a) Using SST, push in a new oil seal.

(f) Align the gear teeth of the main gear and sub±gear, and
tighten the service bolt.
5. INSTALL 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 installed. If the
camshaft is not level, the portion of the cylinder head re-
ceiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, causing
the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the following
steps should be carried out.
(a) Install the exhaust camshaft.
(1) Apply new engine oil to the thrust portion and jour-
nal of the camshaft.
(2) Place the exhaust camshaft at 90° angle of timing
mark (2 dot marks) on the cylinder head.
(3) Apply MP grease to a new oil seal lip.
(4) Install the oil seal to the camshaft.
(5) Remove any old packing (FIPG) material.
(6) Apply seal packing to the No.1 bearing cap as
shown.
