INSPECTION
Use a straightedge and feeler gauge to check the
flatness of the engine cylinder head and block mating
surfaces.
The minimum cylinder head thickness is 89.95mm
(3.541 in.).
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Piston protrusion must be measured to
determine cylinder head gasket thickness if one or
more cylinder liners have benn replaced (Refer to 9
- ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD - STANDARD PROCE-
DURE).

ROCKER ARMS
DESCRIPTION
The rocker arms are made of stamped steel (Fig.
30).
OPERATION
The rocker arms are used as a link between the
camshaft and valves. As the camshaft rotates the
lobes of the camshafts apply downward pressure on
the rocker arms. This pressure is then transmitted to
the valves which causes the valves to open.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect negative battery cable.
(2) Remove front wiper unit (Refer to 8 - ELEC-
TRICAL/WIPERS/WASHERS/WIPER MODULE -
REMOVAL).
