|
|
| (5) |
Check the surface of
the valve stem tip for wear. If the valve stem tip is worn, replace
the valve.
|
|
| 3. |
Inspect the valve seats
| (1) |
Check the valve seat
for evidence of overheating and improper contact with the valve
face. Replace the cylinder head if necessary. |
| (2) |
Check the valve guide
for wear. If the valve guide is worn, replace the cylinder head. |
|
| 4. |

and camshaft journals. |
| (2) |
Place the camshafts on
the cylinder head. |
| (3) |
Lay a strip of plastigage
across each of the camshaft journal.
|
| (4) |
Install the bearing caps.
|
Do not turn the camshaft. |
|
| (5) |
Remove the bearing caps. |

No.2, 3, 4, 5 : 0.030~0.067mm (0.00118 ~ 0.00264 in.)
Exhaust:
No.1 : 0 ~ 0.032mm (0 ~ 0.00126in.)No.2, 3, 4, 5 : 0.030~0.067mm

Exhaust :No.1 : 0.090mm (0.00354in.)
No.2, 3, 4, 5 : 0.120mm (0.00472in.)
|
If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the camshaft.
If necessary, replace cylinder head. |
| (7) |
Completely remove the
plastigage. |
| (8) |
Remove the camshafts. |
|
| 3. |
Inspect the camshaft end play.
| (1) |
Install the camshafts. |
| (2) |
Using a dial indicator,
measure the end play while moving the camshaft back and forth.
Camshaft end play
[Standard value] : 0.04 ~ 0.16mm (0.0016 ~ 0.0063in.)
[Limit] : 0.20mm (0.0078in.)
|
If the end play is greater than maximum, replace the camshaft. If
necessary, replace cylinder head. |
| (3) |
Remove the camshafts. |

CVVT Assembly
| 1. |
Inspect CVVT assembly.
| (1) |
Check that the CVVT assembly
will not turn. |
| (2) |
Apply vinyl tape to the
retard hole except the one indicated by the arrow in the illustration.
Verify the hold to tape and the hole to put air in.
[Intake]
![[Exhaust]](images/books/774/sxmm19073l.gif)
[Exhaust]
|
| (3) |
Wind tape around the
tip of the air gun and apply air of approx. 150kPa(1.5kgf/cm², 21psi)
to the port of the camshaft. (Perform this in order to release
the lock pin.)
|
When the oil splashes, wipe it off with a shop rag and the
likes. |
|
| (4) |
With air applied, as
in step(3), turn the CVVT assembly to the advance angle side (the
arrow marked direction in the illustration) with your hand. Depending
on the air pressure, the CVVT assembly will turn to the advance
side without applying force by hand. Also, under the condition that
the pressure can be hardly applied because of the air leakage from
the port, there may be the case that the lock pin could be hardly
released.
|
| (5) |
Turn the CVVT assembly
back and forth and check the movable range and that there is no
disturbance.
Standard:Should
move smoothly in a range from about
22.5° (Intake) / 20.0° (Exhaust)
|
|
| (6) |
Turn the intake CVVT
assembly with your hand and lock it at the maximum retard angle
position (counter clockwise). |
| (7) |
Turn the exhaust CVVT
assembly with your hand and lock it at the maximum advance angle
position (clockwise). |
