CAMSHAFT
c. Secure hexagonal part of camshaft with a tool such as a span-
ner. Loosen camshaft sprocket mounting bolts and remove the
camshaft sprockets.
CAUTION:
Do not rotate crankshaft or camshaft while timing chain is
removed. It causes interference between valve and piston.
NOTE:
Chain tension holding work is not necessary. Crank sprocket
and timing chain do not disconnect structurally while front cover
is attached.
8. Loosen mounting bolts in the reverse order shown in the figure,
and remove camshaft brackets and camshafts.
●Remove No. 1 camshaft bracket by slightly tapping it with a
soft tool such as a plastic hammer.
9. Remove valve lifter.
●Check mounting positions, and store them without mixing
them up.
INSTALLATION
1. Install valve lifter.
●Install them in the same positions they were in prior to removal.
2. Install camshaft.
●Distinction between intake and exhaust camshafts is per-
formed with a difference of shapes of rear end.
●Install camshafts so that dowel pins on the front side are posi-
tioned as shown in the figure.

●Install smaller pitch (valve spring seat side) to cylinder head
side.
●Confirm identification color of valve spring.
6. Install valve spring retainer.
7. Install valve collet.
●Compress valve spring with valve spring compressor. Install
valve collet with magnet hand.

●Press fit it into cylinder head as follows.
a. Remove old liquid gasket from cylinder head side mounting
hole.
b. Apply liquid gasket all round on spark plug tube with a 12 mm
(0.47 in) width from edge of spark plug tube on the press fit side.

ket, sealer, carbon, etc with scraper.
CAUTION:
Use utmost care not to allow gasket debris to enter pas-
sages for engine oil or water.
2. At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head,
measure distortion in six directions.

CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
●Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on
the both end of the crankshaft.
●Place a dial gauge straight up on the No. 3 journal.
●While rotating the crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer
on the dial gauge. (Total indicator reading)
CONNECTING ROD BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method of Measurement
●Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and the
cap, and tighten the connecting rod bolts to the specified torque.
Using a inside micrometer measure the inner diameter of con-
necting rod bearing.
(Oil clearance) = (Inner diameter of connecting rod bearing) –
(Outer diameter of crankshaft pin)
●If out of specifications, check connecting rod big end inner diam-
eter and crankshaft pin outer diameter, and select appropriate
connecting rod bearing to adjust clearance to specifications.
Refer to EM-83, "
HOW TO SELECT CONNECTING ROD BEARING" .
Method of Using Plastigage
●Remove engine oil and dust on the crankshaft pin and the sur-
faces of each bearing completely.
●Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and
place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.
●Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod cap,
and tighten the connecting rod bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Never rotate the crankshaft.
●Remove the connecting rod cap and bearings, and using the
scale on the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is same as that described in “Method of Mea-
surement”.
MAIN BEARING OIL CLEARANCE
Method of Measurement
●Install the main bearings to the cylinder block and bearing cap. Measure the main bearing inner diameter
with the bearing cap bolt tightened to the specified torque.
(Oil clearance) = (Inner diameter of main bearing) – (Outer diameter of crankshaft journal)
●If out of specification, check main bearing housing inner diameter and crankshaft journal outer diameter,
and select appropriate main bearing to adjust clearance to specifications. Refer to EM-85, "
HOW TO
SELECT MAIN BEARING" . Limit: Less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in)

CYLINDER BLOCK
Method of Using Plastigage
●Remove engine oil and dust on the crankshaft journal and the
surfaces of each bearing completely.
●Cut a plastigage slightly shorter than the bearing width, and
place it in crankshaft axial direction, avoiding oil holes.
●Tighten the main bearing bolts to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Never rotate the crankshaft.
●Remove the bearing cap and bearings, and using the scale on
the plastigage bag, measure the plastigage width.
NOTE:
The procedure when the measured value exceeds the limit is
same as that described in “Method of Measurement”.
MAIN BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT
●When the bearing cap is removed after being tightened to the
specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of bear-
ing must protrude.
●If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.
OUTER DIAMETER OF LOWER CYLINDER BLOCK MOUNTING BOLT
●Perform only with M10 (0.39 in) bolts.
●Measure outer diameters (d1, d2) at two positions shown in the figure.
●Measure d2 at a point within block A.
●When the value of d1- d2 exceeds the limit (a large difference in
dimensions), replace the bolt with a new one.
OUTER DIAMETER OF CONNECTING ROD BOLT
●Measure outer diameter (d) at position shown in the figure.
●When “d ” exceeds the limit (when it becomes thinner), replace
the bolt with a new one.

Standard: There must be crush height.

Precautions For Liquid GasketEBS00ODW
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET
●After removing the mounting bolts and nuts, separate the mating
surface using a seal cutter and remove the old liquid gasket
sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
●In areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer
to lightly tap the areas where the liquid gasket is applied.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason a tool such as a flat-blade
screwdriver is used, be careful not to damage the mating
surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper, remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the liq-
uid gasket application surface and the mating surface.
●Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
liquid gasket application surface, mounting bolts and bolt
holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur-
face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach the liquid gasket to the tube presser.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location
with the specified dimensions.
●If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
liquid gasket to the groove.
●As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. If specified, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the instruction in this manual.
●Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.
●If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
●Do not retighten after the installation.
●After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
the engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are instructions in this manual, observe them.
