Removing the driven sprocket and
camshaft
When the timing belt is not installed, do
not turn the crankshaft or driven sprock-
ets. Otherwise, the pistons and valves
could collide with each other and be dam-
aged.
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
2. Secure the camshaft using a wrench,
and then remove the driven sprockets
"1".

Checking the camshaft
1. Measure the cam lobe height "a" and
width "b".
Cam lobe height "a":
Intake:
45.310–45.410 mm
(1.7839–1.7878 in)
Exhaust:
44.360–44.460 mm
(1.7465–1.7504 in)
Cam lobe width "b":
Intake and exhaust:
35.950–36.050 mm
(1.4154–1.4193 in)
2. Measure the camshaft runout.
Camshaft runout:
0.03 mm (0.0012 in)
