INSPECT NO. 1 CHAIN TENSIONER ASSEMBLY
Check that the plunger moves smoothly when the cam is raised with your finger.
Release the ratchet pawl and check that the plunger does not move when pushed with your finger.
If necessary, replace the No. 1 chain tensioner assembly.
INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING SPROCKET
Wrap the chain sub-assembly around the camshaft timing sprocket.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the diameter of the camshaft timing sprocket including the wrapped chain sub-assembly.
| Minimum camshaft timing sprocket diameter (with chain sub-assembly) |
|---|
| 133.8 mm (5.268 in.) |
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the camshaft timing sprocket.
Tech Tips
The vernier caliper must be in contact with the chain rollers when measuring.
INSPECT CRANKSHAFT TIMING SPROCKET
Wrap the chain sub-assembly around the crankshaft timing sprocket.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the diameter of the crankshaft timing sprocket including the wrapped chain sub-assembly.
| Minimum crankshaft timing sprocket diameter (with chain sub-assembly) |
|---|
| 71.5 mm (2.815 in.) |
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the crankshaft timing sprocket.
Tech Tips
The vernier caliper must be in contact with the chain rollers when measuring.
INSPECT OIL PUMP DRIVE GEAR
Wrap the No. 2 chain sub-assembly around the oil pump drive gear.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the diameter of the oil pump drive gear including the wrapped No. 2 chain sub-assembly.
| Minimum oil pump drive gear diameter (with No. 2 chain sub-assembly) |
|---|
| 56.4 mm (2.200 in.) |
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the oil pump drive gear.
Tech Tips
The vernier caliper must be in contact with the chain rollers when measuring.
INSPECT OIL PUMP DRIVE SHAFT GEAR
Wrap the No. 2 chain sub-assembly around the oil pump drive shaft gear.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the diameter of the oil pump drive shaft gear including the wrapped No. 2 chain sub-assembly.
| Minimum oil pump drive shaft gear diameter (with No. 2 chain sub-assembly) |
|---|
| 58.6 mm (2.307 in.) |
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the oil pump drive shaft gear.
Tech Tips
The vernier caliper must be in contact with the chain rollers when measuring.
INSPECT CHAIN TENSIONER SLIPPER
| *a | Wear |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the thickness of the chain tensioner slipper.
| Maximum wear |
|---|
| 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) |
If the thickness is greater than the maximum, replace the chain tensioner slipper.
INSPECT NO. 1 CHAIN VIBRATION DAMPER
| *a | Wear |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the thickness of the No. 1 chain vibration damper.
| Maximum wear |
|---|
| 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) |
If the thickness is greater than the maximum, replace the No. 1 chain vibration damper.
INSPECT CHAIN TENSIONER PLATE
| *a | Wear |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the thickness of the chain tensioner plate.
| Maximum wear |
|---|
| 1.0 mm (0.039 in.) |
If the thickness is greater than the maximum, replace the chain tensioner plate.
INSPECT CAMSHAFT
Inspect the circle runout.
Place the camshaft on V-blocks.
Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout of the camshaft at the center journal.
| Maximum circle runout |
|---|
| 0.03 mm (0.0012 in.) |
If the circle runout is greater than the maximum, replace the camshaft.
Inspect the height of the cam lobes.
Using a micrometer, measure the cam lobe height.
| Standard cam lobe height |
|---|
| 34.484 to 34.584 mm (1.3576 to 1.3616 in.) for intake |
| 35.299 to 35.399 mm (1.3897 to 1.3937 in.) for exhaust |
| Minimum cam lobe height |
|---|
| 34.064 mm (1.3411 in.) for intake |
| 34.353 mm (1.3525 in.) for exhaust |
If the cam lobe height is less than the minimum, replace the camshaft.
Inspect the diameter of the cam journals.
Using a micrometer, measure the cam journal diameter.
| Standard cam journal diameter |
|---|
| 23.979 to 23.995 mm (0.9441 to 0.9447 in.) |
If the cam journal diameter is not as specified, check the camshaft oil clearance.
INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT
| *a | Measuring Point |
| *b | 55 mm (2.165 in.) |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the minimum outer diameter of the compressed thread at the measuring point.

| Minimum outer diameter |
|---|
| 11.2 mm (0.441 in.) |
If the outer diameter is less than the minimum, replace the cylinder head set bolt.
