1. Install suitable tool (A) in the thrust direction on the front end of

the camshaft. Measure the end play with the dial gauge while

moving the camshaft forward and backward (in direction to axis).

• Measure the following parts if out of the standard.

- Dimension (A) for camshaft No. 1 journal

- Dimension (B) for cylinder head No. 1 journal

• Refer to the standards above, and then replace camshaft and/

or cylinder head.

Camshaft Sprocket Runout

1. Install the camshaft in the cylinder head.
2. Install the camshaft sprocket on the camshaft.
3. Measure camshaft sprocket runout while turning the camshaft

by hand using suitable tool (A).

4. If it exceeds the specification, replace camshaft sprocket.

Valve Lifter 

• Check if the surface of the valve lifter has any excessive wear or

• If out of the specified range, replace the valve lifter.

Valve Lifter Bore Inner Diameter

• Measure diameter of valve lifter bore of cylinder head using suit-

able tool (A).

• If out of the specified range, replace the cylinder head assembly.

Calculation of Valve Lifter Clearance

• (Valve lifter clearance) = (hole diameter for valve lifter) – (outer diameter of valve lifter)

• If out of specified range, replace either or both valve lifter and cylinder head assembly.

INSTALLATION

1. Install the valve lifter.

• Install them in the same position from which they were removed.

2. Install the camshafts.

NOTE:

The distinction between the intake and exhaust camshafts is the

difference in the shape of the rear.

5. Install camshaft sprockets.

• Install them by lining up the mating marks (outer groove) (B)

on each camshaft sprocket with the painted marks (A) on the

timing chain during removal.

• Before installation of chain tensioner, it is possible to re-match

the painted marks (A) on timing chain with the mating marks

(B) on each sprocket.
