CAMSHAFT


Be careful of the intake and exhaust valve arrangement. The
valve arrangement is different from that in a normal engine.
NOTE:
The camshafts have, alternately, either intake valve or exhaust
valve. (Refer to figure.)
1. Remove charge air cooler. Refer to EM-135, "
Removal and Installation" .
2. Remove air duct. Refer to EM-133, "
Removal and Installation" .
3. Remove rocker cover. Refer to EM-168, "
Removal and Installation" .
4. Remove fuel injector. Refer to EM-157, "
Removal and Installation" .
5. Set the No. 1 piston to TDC on its compression stroke.

Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise so that the knock pin on
camshaft left side faces straight above. (No position indicator,
etc. is provided on the crankshaft pulley.)
6. Put an alignment mark with paint, etc. on crankshaft pulley and
on oil pump housing as an angle indicator.
7. While referring to the figure, measure the valve clearance
marked in the table below.
NOTE:

The injection order is 1-3-4-2.

Measure the valve clearance using the feeler gauge when
engine is cool (at normal temperature).
8. Set the No. 4 cylinder at TDC by rotating the crankshaft clockwise once. (360 degrees)
9. While referring to the figure, measure the valve clearance
marked in the table below.
10. If the valve clearance is outside the specification, adjust as fol-
lows.
ADJUSTMENTS

Remove adjusting shim for parts which are outside the specified valve clearance.
1. Extract engine oil on the upper side of the cylinder head (for the air blowing in step 6).
2. Rotate crankshaft to face the camshaft for adjusting shims that
are to be removed upward.
3. Grip camshaft with the camshaft pliers (special service tool),
then using camshaft as a support point, push adjusting shim
downward to compress valve spring.
CAUTION:
Do not damage camshaft, cylinder head and the outer cir-
cumference of valve lifter.Valve clearance (Cold):
Standard:
Intake : 0.24 - 0.32 mm (0.0094 - 0.0126 in)
Exhaust : 0.26 - 0.34 mm (0.0102 - 0.0134 in)

4. With valve spring in a compressed state, remove the camshaft
pliers (special service tool) by securely setting the outer circum-
ference of the valve lifter with the end of the lifter stopper (spe-
cial service tool).

Hold the lifter stopper by hand until the shim is removed.
CAUTION:
Do not retrieve the camshaft pliers forcefully, as cam-
shaft will be damaged.
5. Move the round hole of adjusting shim to the front with the very
thin screwdriver or like that.

When adjusting shim on valve lifter will not rotate smoothly,
restart from step 3 to release the end of the lifter stopper (spe-
cial service tool) from touching adjusting shim.
6. Remove adjusting shim from valve lifter by blowing air through
the round hole of the adjusting shim with the air gun.
CAUTION:
To prevent any remaining engine oil from being blown
around, thoroughly wipe the area clean and wear protective
goggles.
7. Remove adjusting shim by using the magnet hand.
8. Measure the thickness of adjusting shim using the micrometer.

Measure near the center of the shim (the part that touches
camshaft).
9. Select the new adjusting shim from the following methods.
PBIC2322E
PBIC2323E
PBIC2324E
FEM032
Calculation method of the adjusting shim thickness:
R = Thickness of removed shim
N = Thickness of new shim
M = Measured valve clearance
Intake
N = R + [M - 0.28 mm (0.0010 in)]
Exhaust
N = R + [M - 0.30 mm (0.0118 in)]

CAUTION:

After removing timing chain, do not turn crankshaft and camshaft separately, or valves will strike
piston heads.

When installing camshafts, chain tensioners, oil seals, or other sliding parts, lubricate contacting
surfaces with new engine oil.

at areas of bead as shown in the figure. Apply so that the portion
marked * comes at an external location but cannot be viewed
externally after engine assembly.
