figure a little at a time till they are tightened to specified
torque.
Tightening torque

7) Remove housing, and using scale (2) on gauging plastic (1)
envelop, measure gauging plastic width at its widest point.
Camshaft journal clearance
If measured camshaft journal clearance exceeds limit, measure
journal (housing) bore and outside diameter of camshaft journal.
Replace camshaft or cylinder head assembly whichever the dif-
ference from specification is greater.
Camshaft journal outside diameter [A]
Camshaft journal bore diameter [B] NOTE:
Do not rotate camshaft while gauging plastic is installed.
