Cylinder Head Measurement
NOTE
For all cylinder head and associated component
specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
Camshaft Journal Clearance
1 Install the camshaft bearing cap in the cylinder head without the camshaft.
2 Install the camshaft cap bolts and tight en to the correct torque specification
Camshaft bearing cap attach ing bolt........ 8.0 – 12.0 Nm.
3 Measure the camshaft bearings using an inside micrometer.
4 Subtract the camshaft journal diam eter from the camshaft bearing diameter. This will provide the running
clearance. If the running clearance exceeds specifications and the camshaft journals are within specification,
replace the cylinder head.
Camshaft Journal Alignment
1 Ensure the camshafts are serviceable, refer to 3.19 Camshaft for measuring procedures.
2 Inspect the cylinder head camshaft bearing surfaces for any imperfections or scratches that could inhibit correct
camshaft clearances. Repair minor imperfections or scratches.
3 Install the camshafts in the cylinder head.
4 Install the camshaft bearing caps.
5 Install the camshaft cap bolts and tighten to the correct torque specification.
Camshaft bearing cap attach ing bolt........ 8.0 – 12.0 Nm.
6 Ensure the camshafts spin freely in the cylinder head. If the camshaft does not run freely, replace the cylinder
head.
Deck Flatness Inspection
1 Ensure the cylinder head decks are clean and free of gasket material.
2 Inspect the surface for any imperfections or scratches
that could inhibit correct cylinder head gasket sealing.
3 Place a straight-edge (1) diagonally across the cylinder head (2) deck face surface.
4 Measure the clearance between the straight-edge
and the cylinder head deck face using a feeler gauge
at four points along the straight-edge.
5 If the warpage is less t han 0.05 mm, the cylinder
head deck surface does not require resurfacing.
6 If the warpage is between 0.05±0.20 mm or any imperfections or scratches that could inhibit correct
cylinder head gasket sealing are present, the cylinder
head deck surface requires resurfacing.
7 If resurfacing is requir ed the maximum amount that
can be removed is 0.25 mm.
8 If the cylinder head deck surface requires more than 0.25 mm material removal the head must be
replaced.

2 Measure the seat width on the valve face (1) using a
correct scale.
CAUTION
The seat contact area must be at least
0.5 mm from the outer diameter (margin) of
the valve. If the contact area is too close to
the margins, the seat must be reconditioned
to move the contact area away from the
margin.
3 Compare the measurements with the specifications,
refer to 5 Specifications .
4 If the seat widths are a cceptable, check the valve
seat roundness, refer to Valve Seat Roundness
Measurement Procedure in this Section.
5 If the seat width is not acceptable, grind the valve
seat to bring the width back to specification. Correct
valve seat width is critical to providing the correct
amount of valve heat dissipat ion, refer to Valve and
Seat Reconditioning Procedure in this Section.
Figure 6A1 – 383
Valve Seat Roundness Measurement Procedure
1 Measure the valve seat roundness using a dial indicator a ttached to a tapered pilot installed in the guide. The pilot
should have a slight bind w hen installed in the guide.
CAUTION
The correct size pilot must be used. Do not
use adjustable diameter pilots. Adjustable
pilots may damage the valve guides.
2 Compare your measurements with the specifications, refer to 5 Specifications.
3 If the valve seat exceeds the roundne ss specification, grind the valve and valve seat, refer to Valve and Seat
Reconditioning Procedure in this Section.
4 If new valves are being used, the valv e seat roundness must be within 0.05 mm.
Valve Margin Measurement Procedure
1 Measure the valve margin using an appropriate scale.
2 Refer to 5 Specifications for minimum valve margin
and compare them to your measurements.
3 If the valve margins are beyond specification, replace the valves.
4 If the valve margins are within specification and do not require refacing, test the valve for seat
concentricity, refer to Valve-to-Seat Concentricity
Measurement Procedure in this Section.

Reinstall
Right-hand Side (Bank 1) Cylinder Head
The reinstallation procedure for the right-hand side cylinder head assembly is the reverse of the removal procedure,
noting the following:
1 Ensure all fasteners are tightened to the correct torque specification.
2 Using crankshaft rotation Tool No. EN-46111 (1), align the crankshaft sprocket timing mark (2) with the
indexing mark (3) on the oil pump housing.
Figure 6A1 – 396
3 Ensure the deck face is clean and the cylinder head locating pins are securely mounted in the cylinder
block deck face.
4 Install a new right-hand cylinder head gasket (1) using the deck face locating pins for retention.
Figure 6A1 – 397
5 Align the cylinder head with the locating pins.
6 Place the cylinder head in position on the deck face.
NOTE
Do not allow oil on the cylinder head bolt
bosses.
CAUTION
Do not reuse the old M11 cylinder head bolts
(1 to 8 inclusive).
7 Install new M11 cylinder head bolts (1) eight places and tighten in the sequence shown and to the correct
torque specification.
