• CAMSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE
1) Clean the camshaft and check the journals for wear and
damage.
2) Clean the rocker shaft holder bearings and the camshaft
holder bearings. Install the rocker shaft holders and the
camshaft on the cylinder head assembly.
3) Set a plastigauge on each journal as shown.
• Set a plastigauge in the axial direction on each journal.
• Do not turn the camshaft during the check.
4) Install the camshaft holder on the rocker shaft holder and
tighten the bolts to the specified torque (P. 10-35).
TORQUE:
Head cover bolt,
8 x 90 mm flange bolt,
8 x 110 mm flange bolt: 22 N.m (2.2 kgf.m, 16 lbf.ft)
6 x 20 mm flange bolt,
6 x 32 mm flange bolt: 12 N.m (1.2 kgf.m, 9 lbf.ft)
