7.2.1 Cylinder head
Using a heavy accurate straight edge and a feeler
gage, check for warpage in three positions lengthwise,
two crosswise and two widthwise, as shown in the
illustration. If warpage exceeds the repair limit, reface
the head with a surface grinder.
Unit: mm [in.]
7.2.2 Rocker arms and rocker shafts
1. Measuring rocker arm bushing and rocker shaft
Measure the inside diameter of the rocker arm
(bushing bore) and the diameter of the rocker
shaft, as shown in the illustration, to check the
clearance between the rocker arm and shaft. If the
clearance is not correct, within the repair limit,
replace the rocker arm. If it exceeds the repair
limit, replace both rocker arm and bushing.
