CAMSHAFT OIL CLEARANCE
Wipe any oil from the journals of the camshaft, cylinder
head and camshaft holders.
Install the camshafts onto the cylinder head.
Lay a strip of plastigauge [1] lengthwise on top of each
camshaft journal avoiding the oil hole.
• Do not rotate the camshaft during inspection.
Install each camshaft holder to the correct locations
Be sure the dowel

head.
Apply engine oil to the threads and seating surfaces of
the camshaft holder bolts [4].
Install the holder bolts and sealing washers [5].
Finger tighten the bolts.
Gradually tighten the camshaft holder bolts until the
camshaft holders lightly contact the cylinder head
surface.
Failure to tighten the camshaft holder in a criss-cross
pattern might cause a camshaft holder to break.
Tighten all camshaft holder bolts in the numerical order
cast on the camshaft holders.
TORQUE: 12 N·m (1.2 kgf·m, 9 lbf·ft)
Remove the camshaft holders and measure the width
of each plastigauge.
The widest thickness determines the oil clearance.
SERVICE LIMIT: 0.10 mm (0.004 in)
When the service limits are exceeded, replace the
camshaft and recheck the oil clearance.
Replace the cylinder head and camshaft holders as a
set if the clearance still exceeds the service limit.
