Tighten the exhaust manifold nuts in the numerical order shown.
Then recheck the torque of the nuts.

Before installing new air fuel ration A/F sensors, clean the exhaust system threads using Tool and apply
anti-seize lubricant.
CAUTION:

Do not over tighten the air fuel ratio A/F sensors. Doing so may cause damage to the sensor,
resulting in the MIL coming on.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Camshaft Runout
1. Put V block on precise flat work bench, and support No. 1 and
No. 5 journals of the camshaft.
2. Set dial indicator vertically to No. 3 journal.
3. Turn the camshaft to one direction, and measure the camshaft
runout on the dial indicator (total indicator reading).

If measurement exceeds specification, replace the camshaft.
Camshaft Cam Height

Measure the camshaft cam height.

If measurement is not within the specifications, replace the cam-
shaft.
Camshaft Journal Clearance
Camshaft Journal Diameter

Measure the diameter of the camshaft journal.
Camshaft Bracket Inner Diameter

Tighten the camshaft bracket bolt to the specified torque.

Measure the inner diameter of the camshaft bracket.
Calculation of Camshaft Journal Clearance
(Journal clearance) = (camshaft bracket inner diameter) – (camshaft
journal diameter)

If measurement is not within specification, replace either or both
camshaft and cylinder head.
NOTE:
The inner diameter of the camshaft bracket is manufactured together with the cylinder head. Replace the
whole cylinder head as an assembly.Standard : Less than 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)
