InspectionNBEM0019CYLINDER HEAD DISTORTIONNBEM0019S01Clean surface of cylinder head.
Use a reliable straightedge and feeler gauge to check the flatness
of cylinder head surface.
Check along six positions shown in the figure.
Head surface flatness: Limit 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
If beyond the specified limit, resurface or replace it.
The limit for cylinder head resurfacing is determined by the
cylinder block resurfacing.
Resurfacing limit:
Amount of cylinder head resurfacing is ªAº.
Amount of cylinder block resurfacing is ªBº.
The maximum limit : A+ B = 0.2 mm (0.008 in)
After resurfacing cylinder head, check that camshaft rotates freely
by hand. If resistance is felt, cylinder head must be replaced.
Nominal cylinder head height:
126.3 - 126.5 mm (4.972 - 4.980 in)
SEM191F
CAMSHAFT VISUAL CHECKNBEM0019S02Check camshaft for scratches, seizure and wear.
CAMSHAFT RUNOUTNBEM0019S031. Measure camshaft runout at A and B as shown in the figure.
Runout (Total indicator reading):
Limit 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
2. If it exceeds the limit, replace camshaft.
SEM549A
CAMSHAFT CAM HEIGHTNBEM0019S041. Measure camshaft cam height.
Standard cam height:
Intake and exhaust
44.465 - 44.655 mm (1.7506 - 1.7581 in)
Cam wear limit:
0.2 mm (0.008 in)
2. If wear is beyond the limit, replace camshaft.
SEM862E
CAMSHAFT JOURNAL CLEARANCENBEM0019S051. Install camshaft bracket and tighten bolts to the specified
torque.
2. Measure inner diameter ªAº of camshaft bearing.
Standard inner diameter:
No. 1: 26.000 - 26.021 mm (1.0236 - 1.0244 in)
No. 2, 3, 4: 23.500 - 23.521 mm (0.9252 - 0.9260 in)
