| Minimum gear diameter (with chain) |
|---|
| 134.90 mm (5.31 in.) |
Tech Tips
The vernier caliper must contact the chain rollers for the measurement.
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the No. 2 chain sub-assembly and No. 2 camshaft timing sprocket.
INSPECT NO. 1 IDLE GEAR SHAFT OIL CLEARANCE
Using a micrometer, measure the No. 1 idle gear shaft diameter.
| Standard idle gear shaft diameter |
|---|
| 44.947 to 44.975 mm (1.770 to 1.771 in.) |
Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of the idle gear.
| Standard idle gear inside diameter |
|---|
| 45.000 to 45.025 mm (1.772 to 1.773 in.) |
Subtract the No. 1 idle gear shaft diameter measurement from the idle gear inside diameter measurement.
| Standard oil clearance |
|---|
| 0.025 to 0.078 mm (0.000984 to 0.00307 in.) |
| Maximum oil clearance |
|---|
| 0.078 mm (0.00307 in.) |
If the thrust oil clearance is more than the maximum, replace the No. 1 idle gear shaft and idle gear as a set.
INSPECT NO. 1 CHAIN TENSIONER ASSEMBLY
| *1 | Plunger |
| *2 | Stopper Plate |
Move the stopper plate clockwise to release the lock. Push the plunger and check that it moves smoothly.
If necessary, replace the No. 1 chain tensioner assembly.
INSPECT NO. 2 CHAIN TENSIONER ASSEMBLY
| *1 | Plunger |
| *2 | Stopper Plate |
Move the stopper plate clockwise to release the lock. Push the plunger and check that it moves smoothly.
If necessary, replace the No. 2 chain tensioner assembly.
INSPECT NO. 1 CHAIN TENSIONER SLIPPER
| *1 | Depth |
Measure the worn depth of the No. 1 chain tensioner slipper.
| Maximum depth |
|---|
| 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) |
If the depth is more than the maximum, replace the No. 1 chain tensioner slipper.
INSPECT NO. 2 CHAIN TENSIONER SLIPPER
| *1 | Depth |
Measure the worn depth of the No. 2 chain tensioner slipper.
| Maximum depth |
|---|
| 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) |
If the depth is more than the maximum, replace the No. 2 chain tensioner slipper.
INSPECT NO. 1 CHAIN VIBRATION DAMPER
| *1 | Depth |
Measure the worn depth of the No. 1 chain vibration damper.
| Maximum depth |
|---|
| 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) |
If the depth is more than the maximum, replace the No. 1 chain vibration damper.
INSPECT NO. 2 CHAIN VIBRATION DAMPER
| *1 | Depth |
Measure the worn depth of the No. 2 chain vibration damper.
| Maximum depth |
|---|
| 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) |
If the depth is more than the maximum, replace the No. 2 chain vibration damper.
INSPECT NO. 1 OIL NOZZLE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Push the check valve with a pin to check if it is stuck.
If stuck, replace the No. 1 oil nozzle sub-assembly.
Push the check valve with a pin to check if it moves smoothly.
While covering A, apply air into B. Check that air does not leak through C. Perform the check again while covering B and applying air into A.
If air leaks, clean or replace the No. 1 oil nozzle sub-assembly.
Push the check valve while covering A, and apply air into B. Check that air passes through C. Perform the check again while covering B, pushing the check valve and applying air into A.
If air does not pass through C, clean or replace the No. 1 oil nozzle sub-assembly.
INSPECT NO. 1 INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR FLATNESS
| *1 | No. 3 Intake Manifold Side: |
| *2 | Cylinder Head Side: |
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the contact surface between the No. 1 and No. 3 intake manifold, and the No. 1 intake manifold and cylinder head.
| Maximum Warpage | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the No. 1 intake manifold.
INSPECT NO. 2 INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR FLATNESS
| *1 | No. 3 Intake Manifold Side: |
| *2 | Cylinder Head Side: |
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the contact surface between the No. 2 and No. 3 intake manifold, and the No. 2 intake manifold and cylinder head.
| Maximum Warpage | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the No. 2 intake manifold.
INSPECT NO. 3 INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR FLATNESS
| *1 | Intake Pipe Side: |
| *2 | Intake Manifold Side: |
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the contact surface between the No. 3 and No. 1 intake manifold, the No. 3 and No. 2 intake manifold, and the No. 3 intake manifold and intake pipe.
| Maximum Warpage | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
