InspectionNJEM0019CYLINDER HEAD DISTORTIONNJEM0019S01+Clean surface of cylinder head.
+Use a reliable straightedge and feeler gauge to check the flat-
ness of cylinder head mating surface.
+Check along six positions shown in figure.
Head surface flatness:
Standard: Less than 0.03 mm (0.0012 in)
Limit: 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
If beyond the specified limit, replace or resurface it.
Resurfacing limit:
The limit for cylinder head resurfacing is determined by the
amount of cylinder block resurfacing.
Amount of cylinder head resurfacing is ªAº.
Amount of cylinder block resurfacing is ªBº.
The maximum limit is as follows:
A + B = 0.2 mm (0.008 in)
After resurfacing cylinder head, check that camshaft rotates freely
by hand. If resistance is felt, replace cylinder head.
Nominal cylinder head height:
117.8 - 118.0 mm (4.638 - 4.646 in)
CAMSHAFT VISUAL CHECKNJEM0019S02Check camshaft for scratches, seizure and wear.
