1) Camshaft installation Apply engine oil to cylin­der head at camshaft bear-ing location before installing camshaft. Install cam-shaft so that each valves is close to or in contact with "base circle" of cam lobe.
CAUTION:
  When camshafts are positioned as shown in figure, camshafts need to be rotated at a mini­mum to align with timing belt during installa­tion.
  Right-hand camshaft need not be rotated when set at position shown in figure. Left-hand intake camshaft: Rotate 80° clock-wise. Left-hand exhaust camshaft: Rotate 45° coun­terclockwise.

(2)  Apply engine oil to cap bearing surface and install cap on camshaft as shown by identifica­tion mark (A).
(3)  Gradually tighten cap in at least two stages in alphabetical sequence shown in figure, and then tighten to specified torque.
Tightening torque:
20 Nm (2.0 kgf-m, 14.5 ft-lb)

(4) Similarly, tighten cap on exhaust side. After tightening cap, ensure camshaft rotates only slightly while holding it at "base" circle.

2) Camshaft cap installation
(1) Apply fluid packing sparingly to cap mating surface.
CAUTION:
Do not apply fluid packing excessively. Failure
to do so may cause excess packing to come
out and flow toward oil seal, resulting in oil
leaks.

3) Camshaft oil seal installation Apply grease to new oil seal lips and press onto front end of cam­shaft by using ST1 and ST2.
CAUTION:
Use a new oil seal.

1) Measure the bend, and repair or replace if nec­essary.
Limit:
0.020 mm (0.0008 in)
for_01_22-480.jpg
CAUTION:
Do not turn the camshaft.
(5)   Remove the bearing caps.
(6)   Measure the widest point of the plastigauge on each journal. If the oil clearance exceeds the limit, replace the camshaft. If necessary, replace the camshaft caps and cylinder head as a set.
Standard:
0.037 0.072 mm (0.0015 0.0028 in)
Limit:
0.10 mm (0.0039 in)
2)  Check journal for damage and wear. Replace if faulty.
3)   Measure outside diameter of camshaft journal. If the journal diameter is not as specified, check the oil clearance.

4) Measurement of the camshaft journal oil clear­ance
(1)  Clean the bearing caps and camshaft jour­nals.
(2)   Place the camshafts on the cylinder head. (Without installing valve rocker.)
(3)   Place plastigauge across each of the cam­shaft journals.
(4)  Gradually tighten cap in at least two stages in alphabetical sequence shown in figure, and then tighten to specified torque.
(7) Completely remove the plastigauge. 5) Check cam face condition; remove minor faults by grinding with oil stone. Measure the cam height H; replace if the limit has been exceeded.
