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.

INSPECTION
Valve guides
Using a micrometer and bore gauge, take diameter readings on
valve stems and guides to check stem-to-guide clearance. Be
sure to take reading at more than one place along the length of
each stem and guide.
If clearance exceeds limit, replace valve and valve guide.
Valve stem-to-guide clearance :
INSTALLATION
1) Clean mating surface on cylinder head and cylinder block.
Remove oil, old gasket and dust from mating surface.
2) Install knock pin (4) to cylinder block.
3) Apply sealant “A” to cylinder head gasket (1) as shown in the
figure.
“A” : Sealant 99000-31150
Sealant amount (Width “w”) :
4 mm (0.158 in.)
4) Install new cylinder head gasket (1) to cylinder block as
shown in the figure. carved lot number (5) on cylinder head

ally as follows.
a) Tighten all bolts to 53 N·m (5.3 kg-m, 38.5 lb-ft) according
to numerical order in the figure.
b) In the same manner as in a), tighten them to 84 N·m (8.4
kg-m, 61.0 lb-ft).
c) Loosen all bolts until tightening torque is reduced to 0 in
reverse order of tightening.
d) In the same manner as in a), tighten them to 53 N·m (5.3
kg-m, 38.5 lb-ft).
e) In the same manner as in a) again, tighten them to speci-
fied torque.
