2. YOKE
Make sure the pole is set in position.
3. OVERRUNNING CLUTCH
Inspect the teeth of pinion for wear and damage.
Replace if it is damaged. Rotate the pinion in direc-
tion of rotation (counterclockwise). It should rotate
smoothly. But in opposite direction, it should be
locked.
CAUTION:
Do not clean the overrunning clutch with oil to
prevent grease from flowing out.
4. BRUSH AND BRUSH HOLDER
1) Brush length
Measure the brush length, and then replace if it ex-
ceeds the service limit.
Replace if abnormal wear or cracks are noticed.
Brush length:
Standard
12.3 mm (0.484 in)
Service limit
7.0 mm (0.276 in)
2) Brush movement
Be sure the brush moves smoothly inside brush
holder.
3) Brush spring force
Measure the brush spring force with a spring scale.
If it is less than the service limit, replace the brush
holder.
Brush spring force:
Standard
15.9 — 19.5 N (1.62 — 1.99 kgf, 3.57 — 4.38
lb) (when new)
Service limit
2.5 N (0.25 kgf, 0.56 lb)
5. SWITCH ASSEMBLY
Be sure there is continuity between the terminals S
and M, and between terminal S and ground. Use a
circuit tester (set in “ohm”).
Also check to be sure there is no continuity be-
tween terminal M and B.
Terminal / Specified resistance:
S — M / Less than 1
Ω
S — Ground / Less than 1 Ω
M — B / More than 1 MΩ
6. SWITCH ASSEMBLY OPERATION
1) Connect the terminal S of switch assembly to
positive terminal of battery with a lead wire, and
starter body to ground terminal of battery. The pin-
ion should be forced endwise on shaft.
CAUTION:
With the pinion forced endwise on shaft, starter
motor can sometimes rotate because current
flows, through pull-in coil, to motor. This is not
a problem.
2) Disconnect the connector from terminal M, and
then connect the positive terminal of battery and
terminal M using a lead wire and ground terminal to
starter body.
In this test set up, the pinion should return to its
original position even when it is pulled out with a
screwdriver.

±0.02 mm (0.0138±0.0008 in)NOTE:
If the measured value is not within specification,
take notes of the value in order to adjust the valve
clearance later on.
13) If necessary, adjust the valve clearance. to ME(H4DOTC)-39, ADJUSTMENT, Valve Clear-
ance.>
14) Further turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise.
Using the same procedures described previously,
and then measure the valve clearances again.

(4) Align single line mark (A) on exhaust cam-
shaft sprocket (LH) with notch (B) on timing belt
cover by turning the sprocket counterclockwise
(as viewed from front of engine).
(5) Align the single line mark (A) on intake cam-
shaft sprocket (LH) with notch (B) on timing beltcover by turning the sprocket clockwise (as
viewed from front of engine).
Ensure the double lines (C) on intake and ex-
haust camshaft sprockets are aligned.
(6) Ensure the camshaft and crankshaft sprock-
ets are positioned properly.
CAUTION:
 Intake and exhaust camshafts for this DOHC
engine can be independently rotated with the
timing belts removed. As can be seen from the
figure, if the intake and exhaust valves are lifted
simultaneously, their heads will interfere with
each other, resulting in bent valves.

18) Remove the exhaust camshaft cap and cam-
shaft.
NOTE:
Arrange the camshaft caps in order so that they
can be installed in their original positions.
19) Similarly, remove the camshafts (RH) and re-
lated parts.B: INSTALLATION
1) Camshaft installation: Apply engine oil to cylin-
der head at camshaft bearing location before in-
stalling the camshaft. Install the camshaft so that
each valve is close to or in contact with “base circle”
of cam lobe.
NOTE:
 When the camshafts are positioned as shown in
the figure, camshafts need to be rotated at a mini-
mum to align with the timing belt during installation.
 Camshaft (RH) need not be rotated when set at
position shown in the figure. Intake camshaft (LH):
Rotate 80° clockwise. Exhaust camshaft (LH): Ro-
tate 45° counterclockwise.
2) Camshaft cap and oil flow control solenoid valve
assembly installation:
(1) Apply liquid gasket sparingly to cap mating
surface.
NOTE:
Do not apply liquid gasket excessively. Failure to
do so may cause excess packing to come out and
flow toward the oil seal, resulting in oil leaks.

3. VALVE GUIDE
1) Check the clearance between valve guide and
stem. The clearance can be checked by measuring
the outside diameter of valve stem and the inside
diameter of valve guide with outside and inside mi-
crometers respectively.
Clearance between the valve guide and valve
stem:
Standard
Intake
0.030 — 0.057 mm (0.0012 — 0.0022 in)
Exhaust
0.040 — 0.067 mm (0.0016 — 0.0026 in)
Limit
0.15 mm (0.0059 in)
2) If the clearance between valve guide and stem
exceeds the limit, replace the valve guide or valve
itself whichever shows greater amount of wear.
See the following procedure for valve guide re-
placement.
Valve guide inner diameter:
6.000 — 6.012 mm (0.2362 — 0.2367 in)
Valve stem outer diameters:
Intake
5.955 — 5.970 mm (0.2344 — 0.2350 in)
Exhaust
5.945 — 5.960 mm (0.2341 — 0.2346 in)
(1) Place the cylinder head on ST1 with the
combustion chamber upward so that valve
guides enter the holes in ST1.
