CAMSHAFT JOURNAL WEAR
Determine whether or not each journal is worn down to the

in place. Use plastigauge
CD
to read the clearance at the widest
portion, which is specified as follows:
Camshaft-Journal oil clearance (IN & EX)
Service Limit: 0.150 mm (0.0059 in)

NOTE:
Install each holder to their original positions. (page

Tighten the camshaft holder bolts evenly and diagonally to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 8 - 12 N'm
(0.8 - 1.2 kg-m, 6.0 - 8.5 Ib-ft)
NOTE:
Do not rotate the camshafts with plastigauge inplace.
Remove the camshaft holders, and read the width of com ­
pressed plastigauge with envelope scale. This measurement
should be taken at the widest part.
If the camshaft journal oil clearance measured exceed the limit,
measure the inside diameter of camshaft journal holder and
outside diameter of the camshaft journal. Replace the camshaft
or cylinder head depending on which one exceeds the
specification.
