CAMSHAFT BRACKET INNER DIAMETER
IInstall camshaft bracket and tighten bolts to the specified
torque.
IMeasure inner diameter of camshaft bracket using an inside
micrometer.
Standard: 30.000 - 30.021 mm (1.1811 - 1.1819 in) dia.
CAMSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE CALCULATIONS
Oil clearance = Cam bracket inner diameter þ Cam journal outer
diameter
Standard: 0.045 - 0.090 mm (0.0018 - 0.0035 in) dia.
IIf it exceeds the standard value, refer to the standard value of
each unit, then replace the camshaft and/or cylinder head.
IAs the camshaft bracket is manufactured with the cylinder
head, it is impossible to replace only the camshaft bracket.
CAMSHAFT END PLAY
ISet the dial gauge to the front end of the camshaft. Measure
the end play by moving the camshaft in the direction of the axle.
Standard: 0.065 - 0.169 mm (0.0026 - 0.0067 in)
Limit: 0.2 mm (0.0079 in)
IIf end play exceeds the limit, replace camshaft and measure
camshaft end play again.
IIf end play still exceeds the limit after replacing camshaft,
replace cylinder head.
VISUAL INSPECTION OF VALVE LIFTER
Check lifter side for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if there
are any abnormalities.
VISUAL INSPECTION OF ADJUSTING SHIM
Check cam nose contact and sliding surfaces for wear and
scratches. Replace if there are any abnormalities.
VALVE LIFTER CLEARANCE
Measure the outer diameter of the valve lifter with a micrometer.
Standard: 34.450 - 34.465 mm (1.3563 - 1.3569 in) dia.

der head and the rear of gear case into the engine.

of the glow plug projects from the bottom of the cylinder
head, or, place wood blocks beneath both ends of the cyl-
inder head to keep the cylinder bottom from any contact.

CAUTION:
ITo avoid breakage, do not remove glow plug unless nec-
essary.
