INSPECTION
Cam wear
Using a micrometer, measure cam height. If measured height is
below its limit, replace camshaft.
Intake cam height :
Standard : 40.402 – 40.562 mm (1.5906 – 1.5969 in.)
Limit : 40.300 mm (1.3581 in.)
Exhaust cam height :
Standard : 39.428 – 39.588 mm (1.5523 – 1.586 in.)
Limit : 39.400 mm (1.5512 in.)
Camshaft runout
Set camshaft between two “V” blocks, and measure its runout by
using a dial gauge.
If measured runout exceeds below specified limit, replace cam-
shaft.
Camshaft runout limit :
0.04 mm (0.002 in.)
Camshaft journal wear
Check camshaft journals and camshaft housings for pitting,
scratches, wear or damage.
If any malcondition is found, replace camshaft or cylinder head
with housing. Never replace cylinder head without replacing hous-
ings.
Check clearance by using gaging plastic. The procedure is as fol-
lows.
1) Clean housings and camshaft journals.
2) Make sure that all valve lash adjusters are removed and
install camshaft to cylinder head.
3) Place a piece of gaging plastic the full width of journal of
camshaft (parallel to camshaft).
4) Install camshaft housing.
5) Tighten camshaft housing bolts in such order ([A] : “1” →
“17”, [B] : “1” → “19”) as shown in the figure a little at a time
till they are tightened to specified torque.
NOTE:
Do not rotate camshaft while gaging plastic is installed.
[A] : RH bank
[B] : LH bank

6) Remove housing, and using scale (2) on gaging plastic (1)
envelop, measure gaging plastic (1) width at its widest point.
Camshaft journal clearance :
Standard : 0.045 – 0.099 mm (0.0018 – 0.0039 in.)
Limit : 0.12 mm (0.0047 in.)
If measured camshaft journal clearance exceeds limit, measure
journal (housing) bore and outside diameter of camshaft journal.
Replace camshaft or cylinder head assembly whichever the differ-
ence from specification is greater.
Camshaft journal bore dia. (IN & EX) :
Standard : 26.000 – 26.033 mm (1.0236 – 1.0249 in.)
Camshaft journal O.D. (IN & EX) :
Standard : 25.934 – 25.955 mm (1.0210 – 1.0218 in.)
Wear of hydraulic valve lash adjuster
Check adjuster for pitting, scratches, or damage.
If any malcondition is found, replace.
Measure cylinder head bore and adjuster outside diameter to
determine cylinder head-to-adjuster clearance. If clearance
exceeds limit, replace adjuster or cylinder head.
Hydraulic valve lash adjuster O.D. :
Standard : 30.959 – 30.975 mm (1.2188 – 1.2194 in.)
Cylinder head bore :
Standard : 31.000 – 31.025 mm (1.2205 – 1.2214 in.)
Cylinder head to adjuster clearance :
Standard : 0.025 – 0.066 mm (0.0010 – 0.0025 in.)
Limit : 0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)
