Cylinder Head Inspection for
Warpage
Remove the cylinder head {see page 6-23).
Inspect the camshaft (see page 6-29).
Check the cylinder head for warpage. Measure
along the edges, and three ways across the center.
. lf warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
cylinder head resurfacing is not required.. lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) and
0.2 mm (0.008 in.), resurface the cylinder head.. Maximum resurface limit is 0.2 mm (0.008 in,)
based on a height of 104 mm (4.09 in.).

Unscrew the camshaft holder bolts two turns at a
time, in a crisscross pattern. Then remove the
camshaft holders from the cylinder head.
Lift the camshafts out of the cylinder head, wipe
them clean. then inspect the lift ramps. Replace the
camshaft if any lobes are pitted, scored, or
excessively worn,
Clean the camshaft journal surfaces in the cylinder
head, then set the camshafts back in place. Place a
plastigage strip across each journal.
Install the camshaft holders, then tighten the bolts
to the specified torque as shown in step 2.
Remove the camshaft holders. Measure the widest
portion of plastigage on each journal.
. lf the camshaft-to-holder clearance is within
limits, go to step 1 1.. lf the camshaft-to-holder clearance is beyond the
service limit and the camshaft has been replaced,
replace the cylinder head.. lf the camshaft-to-holder clearance is beyond the
service limit and the camshaft has not been
replaced, go to step 10.

service limit, replace the cylinder head.. lf the total runout is beyond the service limit,
replace the camshaft and recheck the camshaft-
to-holder oil clearance. lf the oil clearance is still
beyond the service limit, replace the cylinder
neao.

7.Apply engine oil to the bolt threads and under thebolt heads of all the cylinder head bolts.
Tighten the cylinder head bolts in sequence to 39N.m {4.0 kgf.m, 29 lbf.ft). Use a beam-type torquewrench. When using a preset-type torque wrench,be sure to tighten slowly and do not overtighten. lf
a bolt makes any noise while you are torquing it,
loosen the bolt and retighten it from the first step.
9.After torquing, tighten all cylinder head bolts in twosteps (90" per step). lf you are using a new cylinderhead bolt, tighten the bolt an extra 90..
