ENGCAMSHAFTS
4. Measure:
Camshaft-to-cap clearance
Out of specification → Measure camshaft
outside diameter.
Camshaft-to-cap clearance:
0.028 ~ 0.062 mm
(0.0011 ~ 0.0024 in)
: 0.08 mm (0.003 in)
Measurement steps:
Install the camshaft onto the cylinder
head.
Position a strip of Plastigauge
® 1 onto the
camshaft.
Install the clip, dowel pins and camshaft
caps.
T R..
Bolt (camshaft cap):
10 Nm (1.0 m  kg, 7.2 ft  lb)
NOTE:
Tighten the bolts (camshaft cap) in a criss-
cross pattern from innermost to outer
caps.
Do not turn the camshaft when measuring
clearance with the Plastigauge®.
Remove the camshaft caps and measure
the width of the Plastigauge
® 1.
5. Measure:
Camshaft outside diameter a
Out of specification → Replace the cam-
shaft.
Within specification → Replace camshaft
case and camshaft caps as a set.
Camshaft sprocket
1. Inspect:
Camshaft sprocket 1
Wear/damage → Replace the camshaft
assembly and timing chain as a set.
Camshaft outside diameter:
21.959 ~ 21.972 mm
(0.8645 ~ 0.8650 in)

ENGVALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
REMOVAL POINTS
Valve lifter and valve cotter
1. Remove:
Valve lifter 1
Pad 2
NOTE:
Identify each lifter 1 and pad 2 position very
carefully so that they can be reinstalled in their
original place.
2. Check:
Valve sealing
Leakage at the valve seat → Inspect the
valve face, valve seat and valve seat
width.
Checking steps:
Pour a clean solvent 1 into the intake and
exhaust ports.
Check that the valve seals properly.
There should be no leakage at the valve
seat 2.
3. Remove:
Valve cotter
NOTE:
Attach a valve spring compressor 1 between
the valve spring retainer and the cylinder head
to remove the valve cotters.
Valve spring compressor:
YM-4019/90890-04019

ENGVALVES AND VALVE SPRINGS
5. Measure:
Runout (valve stem)
Out of specification → Replace.
NOTE:
When installing a new valve always replace
the guide.
If the valve is removed or replaced always
replace the oil seal.
6. Eliminate:
Carbon deposits
(from the valve face and valve seat)
7. Inspect:
Valve seat
Pitting/wear → Reface the valve seat.
Runout limit:
0.01 mm (0.0004 in)
8. Measure:
Valve seat width a
Out of specification → Reface the valve
seat.
Valve seat width:
Intake:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm
(0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Exhaust:
0.9 ~ 1.1 mm
(0.0354 ~ 0.0433 in)
: 1.6 mm (0.0630 in)
Measurement steps:
Apply Mechanic’s blueing dye (Dykem) b
to the valve face.
Install the valve into the cylinder head.
Press the valve through the valve guide
and onto the valve seat to make a clear
pattern.
Measure the valve seat width. Where the
valve seat and valve face made contact,
blueing will have been removed.
If the valve seat is too wide, too narrow, or
the seat is not centered, the valve seat
must be refaced.
