INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Camshaft Runout
1. Put V-block on a precise flat table, and support No. 2 and 5 jour-
nal of camshaft.
CAUTION:
Do not support journal No. 1 (on the side of camshaft
sprocket) because it has a different diameter from the other
four locations.
2. Set dial indicator vertically to No. 3 journal.
3. Turn camshaft to one direction with hands, and measure the
camshaft runout on dial indicator. (Total indicator reading)
4. If out of the standard, replace camshaft.
Camshaft Cam Height
1. Measure the camshaft cam height with micrometer.
2. If wear is beyond the limit, replace camshaft.
Camshaft Journal Oil Clearance
CAMSHAFT JOURNAL DIAMETER

Measure the outer diameter of camshaft journal with microme-
ter.
CAMSHAFT BRACKET INNER DIAMETER

Tighten camshaft bracket bolts with specified torque. Refer to EM-47, "INSTALLATION" for the tightening
procedure.

Measure the inner diameter “A” of camshaft bracket with bore
gauge.Standard: Less than 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)

REMOVAL
1. Remove camshafts. Refer to EM-41, "CAMSHAFT" .
2. Remove valve lifters. Refer to EM-41, "
CAMSHAFT" .
3. Rotate crankshaft, and set piston whose valve oil seal is to be removed to TDC. This will prevent valve
from dropping into cylinder.
CAUTION:
When rotating crankshaft, be careful to avoid scarring front cover with timing chain.
4. Remove valve collet.

Compress valve spring with valve spring compressor, attach-
ment and adapter (SST). Remove valve collet with magnet
hand.
CAUTION:
When working, be careful not to damage valve lifter holes.
5. Remove valve spring retainer and valve spring (with valve spring seat).
CAUTION:
Do not remove valve spring seat from valve spring.
6. Remove valve oil seal with valve oil seal puller (SST).
INSTALLATION
1. Apply new engine oil to new valve oil seal joint surface and seal lip.
2. Press in valve oil seal to the height “H” shown in the figure with
valve oil seal drift (SST).
3. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.

6. Remove valve oil seal with valve oil seal puller (SST).
7. When valve seat must be replaced, refer to EM-75, "
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT" to removal.
8. When valve guide must be replaced, refer to EM-73, "
VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT" to removal.
9. Remove spark plug tube, if necessary.

Using pliers, remove it from cylinder head.
CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage cylinder head.

Do not remove spark plug tube if not necessary. Once removed, spark plug tube cannot be
reused because of deformation.
ASSEMBLY
1. Install valve guide if removed. Refer to EM-73, "VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT" .
2. Install valve seat if removed. Refer to EM-75, "
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT" .
3. Install valve oil seal.

Install with valve oil seal drift (SST) to match dimension in the
figure.
4. Install valve.

Install larger diameter to intake side.
5. Install valve spring (with valve spring seat).

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.

CYLINDER HEAD


Compress valve spring with valve spring compressor, attach-
ment and adapter (SST). Install valve collet with magnet
hand.
CAUTION:
When working, be careful not to damage valve lifter
holes.

Tap valve stem edge lightly with plastic hammer after installa-
tion to check its installed condition.
8. Install valve lifter.

Install it in the original position.
9. Install spark plug tube if removed.

Press-fit it into cylinder head with the following procedure:
a. Remove old liquid gasket from cylinder head side installation
hole.
b. Apply sealant all round on spark plug tube within approximately
12 mm (0.47 in) width from edge of spark plug tube on the
press-fit side.
Use Thread Locking Sealant or equivalent.
c. Using drift, press-fit spark plug tube so that height is as same as
“H” shown in the figure.
CAUTION:

When press-fitting, be careful not to deform spark plug tube.

After press-fitting, wipe off any protruding thread locking sealant on top surface of cylinder
head.
10. Install spark plug with spark plug wrench (commercial service tool).

VALVE DIMENSIONS

Check dimensions of each valve. For dimensions, refer to EM-
109, "Valve Dimensions" .

If dimensions are out of the standard, replace valve.

CYLINDER HEAD


Cylinder head contains heat, when working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.
5. Using valve seat cutter set (commercial service tool) or valve
seat grinder, finish valve seat to the specified dimensions. For
dimensions, refer to EM-112, "
Va l v e S e a t" .
CAUTION:
When using valve seat cutter, firmly grip the cutter handle
with both hands. Then, press on the contacting surface all
around the circumference to cut in a single drive. Improper
pressure on with the cutter or cutting many different times
may result in stage valve seat.
6. Using compound, grind to adjust valve fitting.
7. Check again for normal contact. Refer to EM-75, "
VALVE SEAT CONTACT" .
VALVE SPRING SQUARENESS

Set try square along the side of valve spring and rotate spring.
Measure the maximum clearance between the top face of spring
and try square.
CAUTION:
Do not remove valve spring seat from valve spring.

If it exceeds the limit, replace valve spring (with valve spring
seat).
VALVE SPRING DIMENSIONS AND VALVE SPRING PRESSURE LOAD

Check valve spring each load at specified spring height.
CAUTION:
Do not remove valve spring seat from valve spring.
Standard:

If the installation load or load with valve open is out of the standard, replace valve spring (with valve spring
seat).

MAIN BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT

When lower cylinder block is removed after being tightened to
the specified torque with main bearings installed, the tip end of
bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-86, "
ASSEMBLY" for the
tightening procedure.

If the standard is not met, replace main bearings.
CONNECTING ROD BEARING CRUSH HEIGHT

When connecting rod bearing cap is removed after being tight-
ened to the specified torque with connecting rod bearings
installed, the tip end of bearing must protrude. Refer to EM-86,
"ASSEMBLY" for the tightening procedure.

If the standard is not met, replace connecting rod bearings.
LOWER CYLINDER BLOCK MOUNTING BOLT OUTER DIAMETER

Perform only with M10 bolts.

Measure the outer diameters (“d1 ”, “d2 ”) at two positions as
shown in the figure.

If reduction appears in “A” range, regard it as “d2 ”.

If it exceeds the limit (a large difference in dimensions), replace
lower cylinder block mounting bolt with a new one.
CONNECTING ROD BOLT OUTER DIAMETER

Measure the outer diameter “d” at position as shown in the fig-
ure.

If reduction appears in a position other than “d”, regard it as “d”.

When “d” falls below the limit (when it becomes thinner), replace
connecting rod bolt with a new one.Standard : There must be crush height.
