CAMSHAFT JOURNAL WEAR
Determine whether or not each journal is worn down to the limit
by measuring the oil clearance with the camshaft installed in place.
Use the plastigauge 1 to read the clearance at the widest por-
tion, which is specified as follows:
! Camshaft-Journal oil clearance (IN & EX) ! !
! !
Service Limit: 0.150 mm
" " " " " 09900-22301: Plastigauge
NOTE:
Install each holder to their original positions. ( #$ 3-71)
Tighten the camshaft holder bolts evenly and diagonally to the
specified torque.
" Camshaft holder bolt: 10 N . m (1.0 kgf-m) " " " "
NOTE:
Do not rotate the camshafts with the plastigauge in place.
Remove the camshaft holders, and read the width of the com-
pressed plastigauge with envelope scale. This measurement
should be taken at the widest part.
If the camshaft journal oil clearance measured exceeds the limit,
measure the inside diameter of the camshaft journal holder and
outside diameter of the camshaft journal. Replace the camshaft
or the cylinder head depending upon which one exceeds the speci-
fication.
