Inspecting Cam Chain Guide
1. Inspect cam chain guide for cuts, tears, breaks, or
chips.
2. If the chain guide is damaged, it must be replaced.
Inspecting Cylinder
1. Using a slide gauge and a dial indicator or a snap
gauge, measure the cylinder bore diameter in three
locations from top to bottom and again from top to
bottom at 90° from the first measurements for a
total of six measurements. The trueness
(out-of-roundness) is the difference between the
highest and lowest reading. Maximum trueness
(out-of-roundness) must not exceed specifications.

2. Wash the cylinder in parts-cleaning solvent.
3. Inspect the cylinder for pitting, scoring, scuffing,
and corrosion. If marks are found, repair the sur-
face using a #320 grit ball hone.
NOTE: To produce the proper 60° cross-hatch
pattern, use a low RPM drill (600 RPM) at the rate
of 30 strokes per minute. If honing oil is not avail-
able, use a lightweight petroleum-based oil. Thor-
oughly clean cylinder after honing using soap and
hot water. Dry with compressed air; then immedi-
ately apply oil to the cylinder bore. If the bore is
severely damaged or gouged, replace the cylinder.

4. If any measurement exceeds the limit, replace the
cylinder and piston.
Measuring Camshaft Runout
NOTE: If the camshaft is out of tolerance, it must
be replaced.
1. Place the camshaft on a set of V blocks; then posi-
tion the dial indicator contact point against the
shaft and zero the indicator.

2. Rotate the camshaft and note runout; maximum
tolerance must not exceed specifications.
Measuring Camshaft Lobe Height
1. Using a calipers, measure each cam lobe height.
CAUTION
Water or parts-cleaning solvent must be used in con-
junction with the wet-or-dry sandpaper or damage to
the sealing surface may result.
