7 Observe the markings on the left-hand cylinder head
camshaft bearing caps. Each bearing cap is
marked (1) to identify its location. The markings have
the following meanings:
• The raised feature must always be oriented
toward the centre of the cylinder head.
• The I indicates the intake camshaft.
• The E indicates the exhaust camshaft.
• The number 2, 4, 6 indicates the cylinder
position from the front of the engine.
8 Apply a liberal amount of engine oil to the camshaft bearing caps.

Figure 6A1 – 265
9 Install the camshaft bearing thrust cap (1) in the first journal of the left-hand cylinder head.
10 Install the remaining bearing caps (2) with their orientation mark toward the centre of the cylinder
head.
11 Hand start all the camshaft bearing cap bolts (3).

Inspect
Visual Inspection
1 Inspect the cylinder head (1) camshaft bearing
surfaces for the following conditions:
• excessive scoring or pitting,
• discoloration from overheating, and
• deformation from excessive wear.
2 If any of the above conditions exist on the camshaft bearing surfaces, replace the cylinder head. Do not
machine the camshaft bearing journals.

Figure 6A1 – 287
3 Inspect the cylinder head for the following: • Cracks, damage or pitting in the combustion chambers.
• Debris in the oil galleries. continue to clean the galleries until all debris is removed.
• Coolant leaks or damage to the deck face sealing surface. if coolant leaks are present, measure the surface
warpage as described under Cylinder Head Measurement within this Section.
• Burrs or any defects that would degrade the sealing of a new secondary camshaft chain tensioner gasket.
• Damage to any gasket surfaces.
• Damage to any threaded bolt holes.
• Burnt or eroded areas in the combustion chamber.
• Cracks in the exhaust ports and combustion chambers.
• External cracks in the water passages.
• Restrictions in the intake or exhaust passages.
• Restrictions in the cooling system passages.
• Rusted, damaged or leaking core plugs.
4 If the cylinder head is cracked or damaged, it must be replaced. No welding or patching of the cylinder head is recommended.
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 tighten to the correct torque specification
Camshaft bearing cap attaching bolt........8.0 – 12.0 Nm.
3 Measure the camshaft bearings using an inside micrometer.
4 Subtract the camshaft journal diameter 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 attaching 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 than 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 required 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.

Valve Stem Height Measurement Procedure
CAUTION
To determine the valve stem height
measurement, measure from the valve
spring seat to the valve spring retainer.
1 Install the valve into the valve guide.
2 Ensure the valve is seated to the valve seat.
3 Install the valve stem oil seal.
4 Install the valve spring retainer and valve stem keys.
5 Measure the distance (1) between the cylinder head to the bottom of the valve spring retainer, refer to 5
Specifications.
6 If the maximum height specification is exceeded, a new valve should be installed and the valve stem
height re-measured.
Figure 6A1 – 297
CAUTION
Do not grind the valve stem tip. The tip of the
valve is hardened and grinding the tip will
eliminate the hardened surface causing
premature wear and possible engine damage.
CAUTION
Do not use shims to adjust valve stem height.
The use of shims will cause the valve spring
to bottom out before the camshaft lobe is at
peak lift and engine damage could result.
7 If the valve stem height still exceeds the maximum height specification, the cylinder head must be replaced.
Assemble
1 Install the cylinder head coolant threaded plugs (1) and tighten to the correct torque specification.




Cylinder head threaded plug ..............................31.0 Nm

11 Place the collets into position by pushing the tool (1)
downward and releasing tension on the valve spring
compressor (2).
12 Verify the valve collets are installed by placing a rag over the valve tip and tapping with a dead-blow
hammer. The valve collets and the spring should
remain in place.
