Inspection (1.3L)

  1. Check cylinder head for warpage. See INSPECTION under CYLINDER HEAD  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Measure camshaft lobes across their maximum dimensions. Inspect for scoring and wear. Replace camshaft if not within specification. See, in this article, CAMSHAFT LOBE SPECIFICATIONS  table.
    NOTE: For additional camshaft specifications, see, in this article, CAMSHAFT SPECIFICATIONS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS at end of this article.
    NOTE: Camshaft bearings are NOT replaceable. If not within specification, replace cylinder head and/or camshaft.
  2. Measure camshaft bearing journals and cylinder head bores. See Figure and Figure. Subtract camshaft bearing journal O.D. from cylinder head bore I.D. to obtain oil clearance. If clearance is not within specification, replace head and/or camshaft. See, in this article, CAMSHAFT SPECIFICATIONS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS tables.
