Limit : 40.300 mm (1.3581 in.)
Exhaust cam height :
Standard : 39.428 – 39.588 mm (1.5523 – 1.586 in.)
Limit : 39.400 mm (1.5512 in.)
Camshaft runout
Set camshaft between two "V" blocks, and measure its runout by
using a dial gauge.
If measured runout exceeds below specified limit, replace cam-
shaft.
Camshaft runout limit :
0.04 mm (0.002 in.)
Camshaft journal wear
Check camshaft journals and camshaft housings for pitting,
scratches, wear or damage.
If any malcondition is found, replace camshaft or cylinder head
with housing. Never replace cylinder head without replacing hous-
ings.
Check clearance by using gaging plastic. The procedure is as fol-
lows.
1) Clean housings and camshaft journals.
2) Make sure that all valve lash adjusters are removed and
install camshaft to cylinder head.

camshaft (parallel to camshaft).
4) Install camshaft housing.
5) Tighten camshaft housing bolts in such order ([A] : "1" →

till they are tightened to specified torque.
NOTE:
