Camshaft

CAMSHAFT





COMPONENTS

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the engine cover and intake manifold.
2. Disconnect the breather hose and the engine harness.
3. Remove the timing belt.
4. Remove the spark plug cables.





5. Loosen the cylinder head cover bolts and then remove it.
6. Remove the camshaft sprockets.





7. Remove the camshaft bearing caps.





8. Remove the camshafts.

INSPECTION

1. Check the camshaft journals for wear. If the journals are badly worn out, replace the camshaft.





2. Check the cam lobes for damage. If the lobe is damaged or excessively worn out, replace the camshaft.
Cam height
Standard
Intake: 35.098 - 35.298 mm (1.3818 - 1.3897 inch)
Exhaust: 34.81 - 35.01 mm (1.3705 - 1.3783 inch)
3. Check the cam surface for abnormal wear or damage, and replace if necessary.
4. Check each bearing for damage. If the bearing surface is excessively damaged, replace the cylinder head assembly or camshaft bearing cap, as necessary.
Camshaft end play: 0.1 - 0.15 mm (0.0039 - 0.0059 inch)

OIL SEAL(CAMSHAFT FRONT)
1. Check the lips for wear. If lip threads are worn out, replace the oil seal with new one.
2. Check a contact surface of oil seal lip on camshaft. If there stratified wear, replace the camshaft.

HLA (HYDRAULIC LASH ADJUSTER)





With the HLA filled with engine oil, hold A and press B by hand. If B moves, replace the HLA.





AUTO LASH ADJUSTER
1. Check auto-lash adjusters for free play by inserting a small wire through the air bleed hole in the rocker arm and push the autolash adjuster check ball down very lightly.





2. While lightly holding the check ball down move the rocker arm up and down to check for free play. If there is no play replace the auto - lash adjuster.

REASSEMBLY

CAMSHAFT AND BEARING CAP
1. Rotate the crankshaft and No. 1 cylinder is in TDC (Compression stroke)
2. Check the position of the rocker arm whether it is exactly installed on the lash adjuster and valve or not.





3. Install the camshaft dowel pin as illustration.





4. The left and right banks of the camshafts are different and you should be careful not to confuse them.
Identification signal
Left bank
Intake (IN): F
Exhaust (Ex): E
Right bank
Intake (IN): G
Exhaust (Ex): H





5. Confirm the identification mark and the number. Bearing caps of No.3, No.4, and No.5 have the front mark and arrange the front mark upon the cylinder head while installing the bearing caps.
Identification mark
Intake: I
Exhaust: E

Camshaft Bearing Caps:

6. Tighten the bearing cap by 2 or 3 steps
Tightening Torque
Outer (*) 16 EA: 1.9 - 2.1 kg-cm
Inner 24 EA: 1.0 - 1.2 kg-cm
