1. Remove the cylinder head (see page 6-38).
2. Inspect the camshaft: K20Z2 engine (see page 6-50)
K20Z3 engine (see page 6-52)
3. Check the cylinder head for warpage. Measure along the edges, and three ways across the center.
If warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) cylinder head resurfacing is not required.
If warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) and 0.2 mm (0.008 in.), resurface the cylinder head.
Maximum resurface limit is 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) based on a height of 104 mm (4.09 in.). 1. Remove the cam chain (see page 6-18).
2. Loosen the rocker arm adjusting screws (A).
3. Remove the camshaft holder bolts. To prevent
damaging the camshafts, loosen the bolts, in
sequence, two turns at a time in a crisscross
pattern.

5. Loosen the camshaft holder bolts two turns at a time, in a crisscross pattern. Then remove the
camshaft holders from the cylinder head.
6. Lift the camshafts out of the cylinder head, wipe them clean, then inspect the lift ramps. Replace the
camshaft if any lobes are pitted, scored, or
excessively worn.
7. Clean the camshaft journal surfaces in the cylinder head, then set the camshafts back in place. Place a
plastigage strip across each journal.
8. Install the camshaft holders, then tighten the bolts to the specified torque as shown in step 2.
9. Remove the camshaft holders. Measure the widest portion of plastigage on each journal.
If the camshaft-to-holder clearance is within the service limits, go to step 11.
If the camshaft-to-holder clearance is beyond the service limit, and the camshaft has been replaced,
replace the cylinder head.
If the camshaft-to-holder clearance is beyond the service limit, and the camshaft has not been
replaced, go to step 10. 10. Check the total runout with the camshaft supported
on V-blocks.
If the total runout of the camshaft is within the service limit, replace the cylinder head.
If the total runout is beyond the service limit, replace the camshaft, and recheck the camshaft-
to-holder oil clearance. If the oil clearance is still
beyond the service limit, replace the cylinder
head.
