|---|
| 69.0 mm (2.716 in.) |
Note
The vernier caliper must be in contact with the chain sub-assembly rollers when measuring.
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the crankshaft timing sprocket.
INSPECT OIL PUMP DRIVE GEAR
Place 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 No. 2 chain sub-assembly.
| Minimum sprocket diameter (w/ chain) |
|---|
| 57.6 mm (2.267 in.) |
Note
The vernier caliper must be in contact with the No. 2 chain sub-assembly rollers when measuring.
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the oil pump drive gear.
INSPECT OIL PUMP DRIVE SHAFT GEAR
Place 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 No. 2 chain sub-assembly.
| Minimum sprocket diameter (w/ chain) |
|---|
| 53.5 mm (2.106 in.) |
Note
The vernier caliper must be in contact with the No. 2 chain sub-assembly rollers when measuring.
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the oil pump drive shaft gear.
INSPECT CHAIN TENSIONER SLIPPER
| *a | Wear |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the wear of the chain tensioner slipper.
| Maximum wear |
|---|
| 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) |
If the wear is greater than the maximum, replace the chain tensioner slipper.
INSPECT NO. 1 CHAIN VIBRATION DAMPER
| *a | Wear |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the wear of the No. 1 chain vibration damper.
| Maximum wear |
|---|
| 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) |
If the wear is greater than the maximum, replace the No. 1 chain vibration damper.
INSPECT CHAIN TENSIONER PLATE
| *a | Wear |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the wear of the chain tensioner plate.
| Maximum wear |
|---|
| 1.0 mm (0.0394 in.) |
If the wear is greater than the maximum, replace the chain tensioner plate.
INSPECT CAMSHAFT
Inspect the runout.
Place the camshaft on V-blocks.
Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the camshaft at the center journal.
| Maximum runout |
|---|
| 0.03 mm (0.00118 in.) |
If the 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 |
|---|
| Intake |
| 34.484 to 34.584 mm (1.3576 to 1.3616 in.) |
| Exhaust |
| 34.773 to 34.873 mm (1.3690 to 1.3730 in.) |
| Minimum cam lobe height |
|---|
| Intake |
| 34.064 mm (1.3411 in.) |
| Exhaust |
| 34.353 mm (1.3525 in.) |
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 oil clearance.
INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT
| *a | Measurement Point |
Using a vernier caliper, measure the diameter of the threads at the measurement point.
| Standard diameter |
|---|
| 11.5 to 12.0 mm (0.453 to 0.472 in.) |
| Minimum diameter |
|---|
| 11.2 mm (0.441 in.) |
| Measurement point (distance from the seat) |
|---|
| 123 mm (4.84 in.) |
If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the cylinder head set bolt. Failure to do so may lead to engine damage.
If there is any thread deformation, replace the cylinder head set bolt with a new one.
INSPECT EXHAUST MANIFOLD
Using a precision straightedge and feeler gauge, measure the warpage of the surface that contacts the cylinder head sub-assembly.
| Maximum warpage |
|---|
| 0.7 mm (0.0276 in.) |
If the warpage is more than the maximum, replace the exhaust manifold.
