Inspection (1.6L)

  1. Check cylinder head for warpage (if removed). See INSPECTION in CYLINDER HEAD . Measure camshaft lobes across their maximum dimensions. Inspect for scoring and wear. Replace camshaft if not within specification. See CAMSHAFT LOBE SPECIFICATIONS  table.
    NOTE: For additional camshaft specifications, see 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 (with bearing caps in place and torqued to specification). See 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 CAMSHAFT SPECIFICATIONS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS at end of article.
