CAMSHAFTS
REMOVING THE CAMSHAFT
1. Remove:• Timing mark accessing screw "1"
• Crankshaft end accessing screw
"2"
2. Align: • T.D.C. markWith align mark.
Checking steps:
a. Turn the crankshaft counterclock-
wise with a wrench.
b. Align the T.D.C. mark "a" on the rotor with the align mark "b" on the
crankcase cover when piston is at
T.D.C. on compression stroke.
In order to be sure t hat the piston is at
Top Dead Center, the punch mark "c"
on the exhaust camshaft and the
punch mark "d" on the intake cam-
shaft must align with the cylinder
head surface, as shown in the illustra-
tion.
3. Remove:
• Timing chain tensioner cap bolt "1"
• Timing chain tensioner "2"
• Gasket
4. Remove: • Bolt (camshaft cap) "1"

removed evenly to prevent dam-
age to the cylinder head, cam-
shafts or camshaft caps.
5. Remove:
• Exhaust camshaft "1"
• Intake camshaft "2"
Attach a wire "3" to the timing chain to
prevent it from falling into the crank-
case.

CAMSHAFTS
4. Measure:• Camshaft-to-cap clearanceOut of specification →Measure
camshaft outside diameter.
Measurement steps:

crankcase cover when piston is at
T.D.C. on compression stroke.
c. Fit the timing chain "3" onto both camshaft sprockets and install the
camshafts on the cylinder head.
