6. Calculate:
• Camshaft-to-crankcase clearance
Out of specification → Replace the defective
part(s).
TIP
Calculate the clearance by subtracting the cam-
shaft journal diameter (crankcase side) from the
crankcase hole inside diameter.
Camshaft to crankcase clearance
0.010–0.053 mm
(0.0004–0.0021 in)
7. Calculate:
• Camshaft-to-crankcase cover clearance
Out of specification → Replace the defective
part(s).
TIP
Calculate the clearance by subtracting the cam-
shaft journal diameter (crankcase cover side)
from the crankcase cover hole inside diameter.
Camshaft to crankcase cover
clearance
0.010–0.053 mm
(0.0004–0.0021 in)
8. Check:
• Camshaft drive gear
• Camshaft driven gear
Chips/pitting/roughness/wear → Replace the
defective part(s).
CHECKING THE DECOMPRESSION SYSTEM
1. Check:
• Decompression system
TIP
• Check that the decompression pin "1" projects
from the camshaft.
• Check that the decompression cam "2" and de-
compression pin "1" moves smoothly.
