2. Check that the amount of valve lift is at the standard value when the water is at
the full-opening temperature.
Standard value:
Full-opening temperature:100°C (212°F)
Amount of valve lift: 9.0 mm (0.35 inch) or more
NOTE: Measure the valve height when the thermostat is fully
closed, and use this measurement to compare the valve
height when the thermostat is fully open.

Standard Waveform NOTE: The voltage waveform of the generator B terminal can
undulate. This waveform is produced when the regulator
operates according to fluctuations in the generator load
(current), and is normal for the generator. If the ripple

2. Check roller rotation and replace the rocker arm if uneven rotation or roller
backlash of the roller is observed.
3. Check the inside diameter and replace the rocker arm if damage or seizure is
observed.

are binding, check the cylinder head for damage. Also check the cylinder head
for clogged oil holes.
2. Check the tooth surface of the distributor drive gear teeth of the camshaft and
replace if abnormal wear is evident.
3. Check the cam surface for abnormal wear and damage and replace if necessary.
Also measure the cam height and replace if out of minimum limit.
Standard value:
Intake 37.39 mm (1.472 inches)
Exhaust 37.14 mm (1.462 inches)
Minimum limit:
